Holly, do you get all your ideas about God and Jesus from country music? (Look, I called you HOlly - I can respect your wishes, can you respect us and stop calling it a chat?) Anyway, this is a serious question, because you have dismissed Jesus’s actual words in the actual Bible (turn the other cheek) but give credence to a song about Hell by Trace Adkins. The NT wants people to love each other and not hurt each other, but when you’re told your words hurt, you howl that we don’t have the right to shut you down for saying what you believe.

Tried to add this bit but ran afoul of the editing limit-

So I really am curious - does your view of “what’s right” mean you can and should hurt people? Hurting yourself is clearly wrong, but is it okay to hurt people unnecessarily? There are quite a few people on this board who have lost people to depression, including me, so when you take such a strident stand that our loved ones are burning eternally - well, it comes across as cruel.

Just to be clear:  
Holly states opinions that are different than yours. She says repeatedly that you are more than welcome to ignore her or not reply to said differing opinions. She only interacts with you when you interact with her first. You call her a troll, but then say that you will continue to stop in to insult and poke at her. Do I have that correct?

Who’s trolling who?

Seconded by **Anonymous User**. The people who are trying to insult and upset **James Otto Sweet Heart** for no reason and then calling her a troll, are trolls themselves.

why don’t you try following the 5 pages of insult trading that preceded that comment before you try to take that one post out of context. Trolly is a troll and there is ample evidence in this thread to prove that. If you’re too lazy to read and digest it then STFU.

Then stop feeding her. You’ve posted 73 times to this thread - I don’t think it’s working.

I enjoy fucking with trolls much like a cat enjoys playing with a mouse. I consider it a form of sport. So on I spent Tuesday night swatting Trolly around for sport and had a pretty good time. But as I said, she wasn’t really much of a challenge so I didn’t feel like playing with her again last night. I did however feel obliged to remind her of her abysmal performance on Tuesday and the fact that I would continue to remind her of it.

Thirded. I’m hardly a fan of her ramblings but she ain’t the only one rambling incoherently here.

> Who’s trolling who?

_Quis trolliet trollos ipsos?_ It’s spiraled out of control into some sort of meta-trolling event horizon with… er… like… trolls and stuff.

I’d also like to second **Kambuckta’s** request for this thread to either be put out of our misery by the mods, or for people to quit posting in it. The link **Ambivalid** posted fits Holly to a T: poking at her is just giving her an excuse to stomp her feet and reassert her role as the Defender of the Holly Trinity of Herself, Herself, Jesus, and James Otto against all comers.

She’s not going to change her MO or back off, and she’s too savvy to do something outright ban-worthy. I’m as sick of her saccharine-with-a-splash-of-15M-sulfuric-acid schtick as anyone, but the poking is not going to make it go away.

Let it die. And if \*\*Drunky Smurf \*\*pops up and revives it again, we can all gang up and smurf that smurf right in the smurf.

And for the inevitable poster who’ll tell me “then quit reading/posting in it!” I say that if’n y’all don’t like mah posts y’all can put me on ignore. I got the right to say whatever I want in God’s free country and… :eek: Sweet mother of god, it’s spreading!

If you start listening to James Otto, seek professional help.

No, wait, therapy doesn’t work. Guess you’re screwed.

No, wait, screwing doesn’t work either. Might as well kill yourself.

No, wait…

I turned on the country music station and I still don’t care for it… and I still believe in the value of therapy and “fantasy football” with Eli Manning. I think I dodged a bullet there ::mops her forehead::

I have been reading along. Did she insult you first out of nowhere? Did you always have the opportunity to walk away? Did you ever choose to do so?

If so, I must have missed that. Just because she likes to have the last word doesn’t mean you have to.

Holly lacks some social skills, no doubt. She is the guest who steps over the pile of shoes at the door and smiles obliviously when you glare at her wearing shoes while everyone else is barefoot. When you ask her “would you like me to take your shoes and put them over here?” She says “no that’s ok I’ll keep them on!”

She is awkward and hides behind her belief system to both reinforce who she is and give you the permission to not like her or disagree with her or whatever. It’s pretty simple actually. She is who she is, you are who you are. No one is going to change. No one is making you hold that hot coal; you’re choosing to do it and then accusing her of the burn on your hand.

No. In order for people to seek therapy they have to want to change something in their life. I don’t see her as wanting to change anything, do you?
