Pitbulls can write?

And as a teacher, yes I take umbrage when Beck tells me that she should be able to determine what I can and cannot do on my spare time lest she get the vapours.

Maybe if I told you that I, SAINT CAD get to make your life choices simply because of the vocation you choose, you would ignore it saying, “Aww Saint Cad is just being silly again.” rather than telling me I’m wrong. But somehow based on your posts here I doubt that very much.

Beck is a fine poster in MPSIMS. Not every post needs to explain the mysteries of the universe, some can just be about the experiences of the poster.

I was pretty pissed with Beck’s attitude in the sex worker thread, too. Fwiw, i have a close friend who is the daughter of a prostitute. Her parents were lesbians, and she was one of the first IVF babies. Her other mother was a professor. When her parents split up (no divorce, because no marriage, because their whole relationship was illegal, and my friend grew up in the closet) the professor had no legal claim to her. And my friend feels that’s one of the best things that ever happened to her. Because her birth mom, the prostitute, was a warm person and a good mother, whereas her other mom was a paranoid misandrist who taught her to fear all men, something she is still struggling to overcome.

But we all have good points and bad points. I think it’s laughable to say that “she gets a pass”. I feel like she is routinely reported for stuff that would go completely unremarked by any other poster. Does she sometime inappropriately hijack and dominate threads? Yes, but that’s partly because so many posters feel the need to jump on her. And yeah, she goes overboard “defending herself”. That’s a bad trait on a message board like this one. Did i mention we all have good points and bad points?

> [@Lancia](#):

> she’s pretty much treated as if she’s a venerated saint around these parts.

Naw. Witness this very thread. But she is an old lady with serious health problems who apparently can’t even speak any longer, and this board appears to be an important social outlet for her. And some of her stories about her life and her fight with diabetes and the health establishment are really interesting, imho. I loved her stories about the wild pigs who got into her garden, for instance.

If you don’t like her, ignore her. 🤷‍♀️

It’s more than just that. He says Colbert stole MSH’s personal jokes. He manages to bring it up any time Colbert is mentioned, or any time Colbert is not mentioned.

But she will also continue posting until she gets a response, that is to say, if she posts something that nobody responds to, she will keep posting variations on that same post until someone reacts.

He did a road rage brake check. Bumpers bumped. He was going to pull out all his NJ connections until witnesses popped up who saw the whole thing (and I pointed to my dash cam).

And if you had been stolen from, Trout? You’d just sit there and ‘Take It’?

Or would that be different?

Last week, MSH stole my bike. I confronted him, and he pointed a shotgun at me. He would have shot me, too, but I pointed to my Ring doorbell, so he slunk away.

With the bike? What shotgun? File a report or take a pic of the report and post it.

Since no report was filed, there was no need to down load the vid of the dashcam and it is long over-written now.

I’m sure I have screen caps somewhere, but they aren’t for you to demand. I’m saving them for a special occasion.

She is not an “old lady” so far as I can tell. With the hints she’s given, she’s probably around her early 50s. Maybe mid. But she’s stated a few times she’s not as old as we think.

If I had video of Joe Rogan (or any celebrity) smashing into my car, I’m pretty sure I’d download it and make several copies, police reports be damned. Rogan is absolutely a moron - but I bet he’d have saved the video as well.

I bet he and I value different things. And if he’s still raw about it, he can go sit on an ant hill until he grows hair.
