> [@YaraMateo](#): > > I think the key piece of this puzzle is OP is refusing to say how rent is paid. I wonder if he’s on some kind of goverment assistance. Maybe section 8? It would always explain why the OP would be so freaked out to move. Not everyone takes that type of payment. Even if it were Section 8, the tenant still pays a portion of the rent, either by cash or check. If this is a Section 8 situation, that indeed might be why the OP is so reluctant to move, but it still doesn’t explain his stubborn refusal to post which method (cash or check) he uses to pay rent. ---

It would always explain why the OP would be so freaked out to move. Not everyone takes that type of payment. 1. It would explain why the OP would be so freaked out to move. Answer: Post# 32 Today, I have found where I will be moving Post # 35 I have 2 cats and the apartment I might move to accepts cats Post # 66 I have a place lined up to move into when needed Then there is the 60 day notice I was given to move. That 60 days expires on August 14, 2011. Previously I was given an improper notice stating I had to be moved out by June 30, 2011. The 60 day notice is the legal notice I must respond to now. This should (but most likely will not) settle all arguments concerning me not moving. But some have the IQ of my landlord and no matter what the answer is they will always pry for more. All of this imformation has already been stated within this thread. This just proves people are reading before they respond. ---

Dogs are usually the issue. You were asked what form of payment you make rent in. You refuse to answer that. Which is leading some of us to think you’re not paying and other (myself included) to believe you’re on some form of government aid. ---

You were asked what form of payment you make rent in. You refuse to answer that. Which is leading some of us to think you’re not paying and other (myself included) to believe you’re on some form of government aid. Whatever!!! You asked 2 questions. I will answer them one at a time. But, do you have any other questions concerning my current living arrangements, and my future Living arrangements? If you will be kind enough to write an response saying my housing is no longer in question, I will glady answer your other question. I will not address the rent payment until I know your questions about my living arrangements are clear and understood by you. Your move…everyone is waiting… Well If you do not respond, then I believe I have proven by using only imformation already posted in this thread, subjects have been discussed by me and/or others and regardless of my aswers “you will never be satisfied.” I have cats. No need to bring up dogs when nothing within this thread mentions dogs, “EXCEPT YOU!” Your always looking for a loophole to state “false info.” Apples to Apples not Apples to Lemons which is how this thread gets Hi-Jacked ---

> [@YaraMateo](#): > > This (among many things) is making me question how honest the OP is. Post #85, Dripping asked this question: Why are you refering to yourself as “the OP?” YaraMateo answered the question with the statement quoted above. As most of you all know I became a member to this site on May 29, 2011. So I am very new at this type of discussion by using the internet. I hardly ever use a compurter. I send out a few emails. I have made a few purchases online. Therefore, I am really ignorate to using computers. I haven’t really got a clue what OP stands for. Therefore I never should have used that term. But some how this YaraMateo has some kind of super powers that he/she can use as evidence to prove I am a liar simply by maybe miss using “OP.” Let me describe what kind of things, objects or whatever I am highly skilled in: 1. Rocket launchers 2 . Gernades 2. M-16 Rifles 3. M-60 machine guns 4. M-50 machine guns 5. Hand to hand combat 6. Penatrating behind enemy lines with maybe 2 other men and myself. Most enemy we engauge must be taken out without noise-usually this is done by slitting their thoart. 7. Calling in for live fire on our own position and surving. 8. Explosives 9. How to survie if captured: POW 10. etc,… I advise everyone to take YaraMateo’s comments with extreme caution. ---

This needs to be addressed by you immediately. Again, everyone is waiting for your answer in order to move forward. If you cannot state the correct post number in which RADTENN makes the statement himself this will be proven as another false statement within this thread.

> [@Living\_Well\_Is\_Best\_Revenge](#): > > I would be willing to bet he was hospitalized for something substance-abuse related and the owner and/or roommate don’t want him around anymore. There is a reason he won’t cop to what the medical issue was. I think we all figured that out in his last train wreck. He’s so consumed with this one silly issue that I wonder if he managed to find time to eat and sleep. ---

> [@RADTENN](#): > > Please, state the post number where RADTENN has stated he receives Section 8? This talking in the 3rd person thing is making your posts quite confusing. Announcing that you’re running a meth lab is equally bizarre. I do hope things work out OK for you, but if you were really hoping to get some help or support from this board, this type of thing probably isn’t the best way to do it. ---

**RADTENN** , I understand you’re new to this board; we didn’t know until you just told us that you’re new to message boards entirely. I apologize if our jocularity makes you feel threatened in any way. Just so you know, “OP” means one of two things on a message board. It can either mean “Original Post” or “Original Poster” - which of the two things it means is usually clear by context. So when someone refers to something the OP wrote, they mean you, in this thread. Yes, they could type out \*\*RADTENN \*\*each time the refer to you, but honestly, most of us don’t pay much attention to user names, and OP is easier and faster to type than looking back to the beginning of the thread to identify the OP by name. (One of the other conventions at this board, but not all boards, is bolding a username when you use it; it makes it easier to scan a thread and see if someone is addressing you.) There’s no need to refer to yourself in the third person, and it is not usually done, so it comes off as weird, that’s all. No harm done, I just want to make you aware of some of the conventions here so you can, if you choose, fit in better with our community. Learning the acronyms and board conventions is one of the most frustrating parts of becoming comfortable with an on line community, believe me, I understand. As they say, been there, done that! 🙂 ---

I apologize if our jocularity makes you feel threatened in any way. I would add that on this particular board, you (that is **RADTENN** ) will find that some posters will always disagree with you. That’s not a bad thing necessarily, as it can cause you to reflect and review your position. I guess the best thing I can suggest is to be prepared for dissention with your position, and roll with it. On the other hand, as one who is registered, you can jump into other threads and call others out on their positions–ask for cites, and so on. Given what you’ve posted about your circumstances and background, I think you would be a good contributor. I wish you luck with your proceeding as described here, but I also hope that you will stick around, regardless of what happens. ---
