> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > Nope. Judgmental snatch to the mega, and about my fourth of fifth least favorite poster here. Seems like in every thread, she’s dishing out advice on how people should lead their lives, rachel-knows-besting everyone to death, yet she’s a five-star fuck up who can’t seem to get any aspect of her life together. You name it and she’s been a ruinous failure at it: her career, education, housing, relationships, health, take your pick. > > When I noticed I was incapable of responding to her sans-snark, I started ignoring her altogether. She’s not a useful human being in any manner. You both share the trait of being rather bitchy, but the thing is, you know not to show weakness. If you show weakness, _they will eat you alive_. But that’s also why I love you and **SFG**. ---

The woman said that she was venting, right? That usually means that nothing that follows is going to be socially acceptable or even rational. I don’t agree with a thing she said but who can say she shouldn’t voice it? This is a place where people can “talk,” SOMETIMES exposing themselves more vulnerably than they ever would in real life. As far as her being judgemental…no one else is? And there’ll be somebody who jumps on me for “agreeing” with her, not having “seen” where I said I DON’T AGREE WITH HER. ---

She never really pinged my radar until around the “crotch stink/landlord won’t return my deposit” time. Then in the last week or so I seem to see her in every thread I open, mouthing off and denigrating the OP. She finally pinged it hard enough that I actually searched to see if she had ever been pitted. I’ve never done that before. Enough said. ---

Now see, I like to be the nice one. I love you all! Have I noticed less stridency in Rachel lately? Yes, yes I have. And maturity in Jamie. There, I’m the good witch just doing my part. And Rachel, those pants…do you wash them after every use? Cause that’s a must with that type of fabric. ---

> [@ModernPrimate](#): > > hmm… I love animals, am an extreme misanthropist and wish every human died, but I can see her reasons for saying he should get rid of his extremely expensive pets to avoid being homeless. > > Well, it depends on if she meant “get rid” as in… Al Pacino style “get rid of them :mad:”, or unused clothes style get rid like with a charity shop, find a nice home. > > The person who is faced with getting rid of his extremely expensive pets is going to have to get rid of them eventually or be faced with a terribly cruel life for both them and him. > > The person was a fucking asshole for getting so many pets to begin with when it was possible this might happen. Forget this “oh golly gosh I had just so much love to go around”. Sometimes I would really like to have a dog, but I just don’t know if I could give him/her all the attention they need. You have to think of the pets. Pets are your equals, and if you don’t understand that you should never have any pets. > > That guy is a cruel and extremely negligent person to take on so many animals. Shut up, pedo. ---

> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > Yeah, this thread doesn’t get to go anywhere until we’re provided with details. Sorry, guys. There was the trainwrecky To Catch a Preditor thread in GD that was shut down - I assume **MP** said something in there that sounded creep to **Miss Elizabeth** (I sure as hell didn’t and don’t want to read the whole 11 page shit show), but I really thought **MP** was a woman based on some other posts. Of course, that does not rule out being a pedo, just makes it much less likely.
