Huh. I just realised that Swiddles left around the same time Guin started posting, & they’re not that far apart in age.

People largely liked Swiddles, or so I thought. Apparently (though this is the first I recall noticing it) people don’t like Guin as much. Then again, I was completely unaware of the Guin hatred, so what do I know?

So…

A) Guin is Swiddles changing her identity to experiment with expectations. Nah, Swiddles was too law-abiding for that.

B) People resent Guin for not being Swiddles?

In any case, I expect not to know what’s going on.

Its been a long time since the days when I had very very little respect for Guin. That was when if there was any sense in a thread that a poster was to be flamed, **Guin** was sure to put her two vitriolic cents in. It was like " I’m with the cool crowd and you are shit". She was kind of toxic as far I was concerned.

But that was years ago, and I do hope for her happiness in life.

Yeah, I’ve always thought there was a bit of a Tori Amos thing goin’ on there facially too, especially in the first photo.

Now, tell me again how much you hate me. 😉

That could be 'shopped. I’ll need to go to Pittsburgh to make firsthand confirmation. For science, of course.

She is completely supported by her parents, has no skills, appears to be very lazy, and can’t (or more likely doesn’t want to) hold a job or contribute to society. Her parents have coddled her for so long that she has never grown up. She also doesn’t contribute intellectually to any GD thread; she is only here for social reasons, and perhaps because she’s bored. I admit I have contempt for people like this.

Is it true that you are her father?

I always wondered what spreadsheets were good for.

Guins okay.

**Lindsay Bluth** catches a fair bit of flak as well which I can’t understand.

Unlikely. Jacking off to Sean Hannity carries an extremely low risk of pregnancy.

Actually, this comment was poorly thought out and I’d like to apologize to **Crafter\_Man**. It would’ve been over 30 years ago, so I should’ve said “jacking off to Bircher tracts.”

This reminds me: I was going to Pit mobile sites that don’t allow pinch-to-zoom. (Can’t stop me from pinching, though…)
