margin has the self-awareness of a barnacle.

Did/Does margin have a cat? Dunno, probably
Has her cat really just died? Probably not.
If her cat did just die does it excuse her shitty debate style one iota? Certainly not.

Well, like I said, if they still want to Pit her for what she originally said, go for it. But the cat thing is kind of crass.

None of you margin-bashers have anything better to do?

NB: I already did mine - treated my Valentine to dinner.

I’d have more sympathy for this position if she hadn’t introduced the subject in such a nakedly manipulative way. Losing a pet sucks. Using the death of your pet as an emotional cudgel in a fight on a message board also sucks.

Wait. So it’s bad for me to not jump to that asshole’s tune but he gets to grandly announce he’s…somewhere else.

Nice double standard ya got there.

And HERE is a couple of pictures of her, just for you, including one that depicts the retinal injury.

What a can of worms. Lol.

He demanded my presence and made accusations. Next time I’ll lie and say I’m across the country drinking beer.

I said what I said because it’s what happened. Brodude up there apparently expected me to be hanging on his every demand and comment with bated breath and wringing hands, as if Bernie’s presence at an American rally with Noriega was some huge secret that no one had ever heard of.

Oh, WAIT! DID I USE HYPERBOLE AGAIN?

Sec-cunt-ted.

I’m so sorry about your cat, margin. I lost one of mine four weeks ago yesterday so I get where you are. Hugs.

Pool really is a piece of shit.

Thank you. What happened with your kitty? I swear, the rescued ones are grateful that you rescued them. I have a white floofy kitty who comes over to me, puts his paw on my arm, and tilts his head at me.

She was a foster hospice from the shelter, so I knew what I was in for, but I really fell in love with that kitty. She’d had a pretty rough life and was certainly one of the grateful ones! I had her just under seven months. I lost my avatar kitty last April. He was an empathetic kitty like your white floofer who was helping me get through my husband’s death. Then he was gone, too. I’m not sure what the heck possessed me to get one I knew would die soon, but I don’t regret having and loving my sweet little foster.

I clicked on the thread to complain to margin that I disapprove of her untruthiness in her recent exhange with me. But then I saw crap like this:

I Pit pool and the other scumbags who Pit margin.

Aw, a ginger. I had an eighteen-year-old ginger girl die two years ago. She was one of those kitties who do the snuggly wrigglies and squeak and chatter. I was prepared for her, you know, even though two months before she passed she was jumping onto the tops of doors because my life needed more excitement. She weighed six pounds and she bitchslapped much bigger cats and dogs like it was her job.

It was my seven-year-old guy who really destroyed me. Two months after my ginger girl…Ugh. I cannot talk about him.

I know exactly why you took in that kitty. You wanted a poor animal to feel love and warmth and comfort and safety, even though giving him comfort and peace was bought with your grief in the end. Cats (and the women, especially, who love them) get maligned in a way that male dog owners don’t. Hospice for shelter animals is pure kindness.

Go look up “Flatbush Cats” on youtube. They are a rescue that produces the most mellow and gentle videos about TNRing and fostering kitties, narrated by the most laid back of men and backed by gentle, jazzy music. It’s good for the soul.

I’m back, and I’m my usual self again which is, as Miller once put it, a terrifying degenerate.

I want to buy pool a beer.

You know you’re popular when you have to announce all your exits and entrances.

How reprehensible.

His bragging about “terrifying” and “buying a beer” for his 4chan-esque edgelord sleazebag friend strikes me as the same desperation and tactic with which Trumpies announce they have “triggered” someone who will forget them in a blink. If you or anyone turn them down for a date you will find out later that they have in fact been telling people that not only was there a date, that they are now sharing with all and sundry the Karma Sutra-esque Olympian-level activities that lasted for hours.

If you gotta say it----like with capital C “Christians” or capital P “Patriots” it’s because your behavior betrays you.

That’s why we all miss Starving Artist!
(Sadly he didn’t get to announce his final exit.)

CMC fnord!
