I don’t like the fact that she thinks railroad freight cars are a blank canvas for her “artwork”. ---

Oh yeah that’s her, hanging by the RR tracks with a bucket of Krylon. I smell a sock in Mona Lott, it’s okay gotta let them out once in a while It’s a veritable sock drawer in here. ---

Why do you think I’m a sock? Of whom? I happen to disapprove of graffiti on railroad freight cars. Beck thinks otherwise. She can go to Hell for her obnoxious opinion. ---

Dude how many years you been holding that grudge and why is it now you make a stink about trains and graffiti? @What_Exit, I’m sure you’re aware that people can change into their socks whenever they like, they may lie dormant most of the time but sock up to troll the dope or is it derp? ---

Seriously, why do you think I’m a sock? I invite you to look at my history of posts here on the SDMB. I have fewer than 400 posts in the 23 years that I have been here. I am a railfan. I like to watch trains pass by. In my opinion, graffiti is an eyesore, no matter where it shows up. I retain my right to think of Beck and her fellow “artists” as uncouth boors. ---

I didn’t know Bad bad bad beck was an “artiste”. Oh well, I’ll just ignore her more. ---

> [@Mona\_Lott](#): > > I have fewer than 400 posts in the 23 years that I have been here. Ironically, in the culture here, and except for the 23-year duration, that rather tells against you than otherwise. Socks are often accounts that lie near-dormant until they are put to some strategic use. But of course, your actual previous posts pretty well put that to bed. @chela made a fairly wild shot that missed the mark, and in my opinion should at least retract the allegation. ---

Chela did not think anyone was a sock. It was a disingenuous post intended to antagonize people. That’s their entire schtick. Treating it like an actual accusation is dumb. ---

You’re telling me a grandma with health problems is going around with a rattle-can & tagging? What’s her gang sign, and does she have a street name? 😆 ---
