**nongoog** currently has a thread going in IMHO where she asks for advice on how to [support her boss through a divorce](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=8687971) from his “psycho” wife. In the second post of that thread, **nongoog** offhandedly mentions that she was FUCKING the guy and that’s the reason for the divorce but can’t understand why that should be relevant to her request for advice. For those who don’t know, **nongoog** is the author of several past suspect threads, most notably those of the Sugar Daddy Saga which included laments about said sugar daddy not getting her a [Christmas present](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=404669), and busting him trolling for pussy on the internet and then [calling her a liar](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=405630). Then she asked for help tracking down an alleged [internet stalker](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=418963) and more recently pitted [women who bring stuffed animals to work](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=408413) for being “unprofessional.” I’m going to quote from this one because it’s so hilariously hypocritical and personally oblivious when compared to the current thread. > [@nongoog](#): > > ]This represents, to me, the sort of completely unnecessary frou-frou that keeps the gender divide alive in the workplace. Do men’s cubicles have stuffed toys? Not that I’ve noticed, no. When I walk by a desk and see a stuffed animal, it makes me want to vomit. It looks like a seven-year-old’s workspace. It makes it nigh-impossible for me to respect you as a businesswoman…I am resentful when women stereotype themselves as sentimental and unprofessional in such an obvious way as bringing stuffed toys to work. There are male assistants, too. Guess what? Their cubes, sans stupid stuffed animals, look about a million times more polished than the women’s. Stuffed animals look ridiculous. There’s no place for them in a corporate environment. Sure, no one’s going to say anything, but it’s still a little absurd- and, I have to admit, when I walk by a cubicle with a stuffed animal, I imagine that the person it belongs to cannot be very bright, at all, and I dismiss them- and I imagine that this is a reaction that many managers and clients have, as well, to women who somehow come to the conclusion that the daily accompaniment of their favorite stuffed toy is more important to them than the outward appearance of professionalism. HA! Women keeping stuffed animals in their offices or cubicles is unprofessional, and she can’t respect them and it bothers her that they sterotype themselves but apparently fucking the boss is just fine and perfectly professional and doesn’t stereotype female “executive assistants” (i.e. secretaries) at all. One only has to read a few of the linked thread to realize that this chick is either making it all up as she goes along or she is truly a self-absorbed nitwit of the highest order (and there’s no design at all to her pattern of casually dropping in paradigm changing details partially through her threads). I do wonder what happened to the rich boyfriend, though. Was she cheating on him with the new boss/sugar daddy or did he finally give her the boot (or did she just grow tired of the character)? ---

Thank you. I don’t have any real interest in pitting her–but there were some cryptic comments in her latest thread which were making me wonder what I’d missed (or forgotten). You’ve saved me the effort of searching for her past myself, which I probably wouldn’t have done. ---

The broken link is invisible unless you mouse over it. Mouse over “support her boss through a divorce” in the first line of the OP. I got an extra space in there somewhere and now it highlights as a link if you mouse over it but it doesn’t work. That’s the link I reposted in post #5. ---

Works fine for me in Firefox 2.0; the only odd behavior is that it doesn’t highlight when I mouse over it. It appears properly and works when I click it, however. ---
