I hope all this works. I post from my phone.

Since I can’t respond in ATMB and this lying piece of shit is still doing what she does well in the locked thread, I’ll do so here.

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16497010#post16497010](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16497010#post16497010)

Here’s what you said:

**Are you criticizing me or the moderation here?**

My thread was about the behavior in general. That post was in reply to someone else as to why I started it.

>

> 
> Do see any similarity in the above statements which made national headlines, and the statement I made? Those headlines made an abbreviated, blanket statement which most people understand. But those headlines aren’t “the whole truth” as you’ve demanded it. All obese Boy Scouts are not banned. Did you apply the same fervor to your letters to the editor insisting they correct the headlines to “Morbidly obese Boy Scouts with BMI of 40+ banned from Jamboree”?

And now you’re doing it again. Are you incapable of arguing your points _without_ lying about what others say? Those fucking fake quotes are lame and tedious and easily debunked. Nowhere did I demand the “whole truth” or anything like that. I simply told you a fact, you ignored it, then when I replied to you again and you got all butthurt because I mocked your Won’t Someone Think Of The Children stance, that’s what went side ways.

Wow I can certainly see how a whole fucking _two_ posts would be considered to be “chasing you through the thread.” So you have a persecution complex on top of your superiority complex. Must be quite the nose bleed upon that high horse of yours.

> [@](#):

> I thought you went a little shrill trying to force the Disney issue, and didn’t feel your point was relevant to the discussion. You can’t force someone to respond you, and chasing them repeatedly through a thread is just… odd. Someone on the internet is wrong, I guess you feel it’s your job to right the travesty. Thing is, this is a casual conversation, I didn’t provide cites, and I’m pretty sure that most readers knew that Disney has attractions that pregnant women can attend, well, because family. But the larger point is that parks have the right to protect attendees from themselves, and themselves from liability. Your needling wasn’t necessary, unless you do make a habit of correcting headlines, professional writers, reporters, etc.

This is rich from the person who ended every paragraph with the “needling” bull shit hyperbolic  
“Why do you want to risk the life of these kids who already have serious health problems?”

You know, the opinion (or hell, even implication) no one in that thread ever advocated. But as everyone knows, you don’t ever let little things like that stop you.

And just for the record, I initially supplied the info about Disney because, stupidly, I figured you’d want all the facts before you went around spouting things off authoritatively. Of course I was wrong. I persisted in bringing it up in my second post to you for the very reason I said. You were chiding everyone for shit they weren’t doing. I’m sure this still won’t be clear to you though.

No one cares if you apologize, dumb ass. You’ve already proven yourself to be uncapable of that, since you’ve conveniently ignored admonishments to cut that shit out by others as well. Three in the first thread alone, not counting the other threads where you’ve been doing the same thing.

And just in case someone wants to see her in action, this is what just a few others have said in the original thread:

> [@Obese Boy Scouts not allowed to attend Jamboree. Fat discrimination or common sense?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/obese-boy-scouts-not-allowed-to-attend-jamboree-fat-discrimination-or-common-sense/663634/247):

And:

> [@Obese Boy Scouts not allowed to attend Jamboree. Fat discrimination or common sense?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/obese-boy-scouts-not-allowed-to-attend-jamboree-fat-discrimination-or-common-sense/663634/248):

> Where on earth are you getting this “fat acceptance” BS? Why are you twisting what people are saying?

Which I noticed got ignored in favor of responding to my “repeated demands for attention.” Which, as I’ll note again, were a total of three posts to you in the first thread and the thread in ATMB. Dear god, I must be the biggest attention whore on the planet! Whatever will I do??

Oh, just tell the truth,\*\* TP\*\*. You went a little apeshit because I wasn’t interested in responding to your needling about a niggling, unimportant side topic in a thread that didn’t concern you.

Tequila Party:  
Welcome to the Straight Dope. Mischaracterization and all manner of nonsense are rife at this message board - which nonetheless has higher standards than the bulk of the internet. Unfortunate, I know.

Running to the mods won’t work, because frankly this is something that’s tough to moderate. The bulk of what the mods do here IMO is swat spammers and warn people who can’t keep direct personal insults out of the pit. (They do more than that of course, and frankly I think they do a fine job).

This isn’t a seminar. This isn’t even a town hall. It’s more like the public square or a wild west town with cops that periodically grab unruly pedestrians and throw them into the saloon. Oddly enough that improves matters. GQ and Comments on the Column have somewhat higher standards than IMHO, MPSIMS, CS and GD, but these things are relative.

Furthermore little if anything gets settled here. The most that happens is that the main arguments on a given topic get lined up and laid out. Again though, that’s superior to 95% of the internet.

The challenge for the responsible and hardened poster is to fight ignorance under harsh battlefield circumstances. You may find that while studied logic and laboriously compiled facts have their place, so do occasional thwaps with the cluestick. Just be sure to limit the direct insults to the BBQ pit.

Y’all are missing the fun in this thread. Tequilla is pitting Troppus for twisting everything she says. And, in this very thread, Troppus has completely twisted what Tequilla has said, arguing against a point Tequilla didn’t even make. And she doesn’t even seem to be aware of it.

Troppus, it’s okay to admit that you have a reading problem. We have plenty of elementary school teachers here who can help you learn.

Isn’t that the great thing about a message board? No one twists you arm to make you waste your time. Or wait. Did someone?

And a thanks to **Measure for Measure** for the welcome and the advice. It’s a shame that the clue stick doesn’t help those that need it the most.

As for the guest of honor, I see that lying and lack of reading comprehension is still strong with this one. Let’s recap this part for those playing along (willingly) at home:

> [@Troppus](#):
>

You went a little apeshit because I wasn’t interested in responding to your needling about a niggling, unimportant side topic in a thread that didn’t concern you. Then I noticed you advising someone to stop chasing someone around a thread trying to force a reply. No, you didn’t just advise them, you flat busted a Dr. Phil cap in his ass, ironically giving the very advice you needed to take. Here’s the TLDR version:

No, liar, I went “apeshit” when you twisted my words to say something other than what I said. Like you’ve done to, at least, **colandar** and **Helena**. I can’t be assed to dig for the rest right now, but after all I’ve seen you do in my time here, there’ll be a shit load more I can dig up for funsies. And I did advise someone else to let it go, but this was a guy that had posted about eleventy billion times over fourteen different threads. Which I pointed out to _him_ when he noticed the same thing. Of course, he had the good graces to admit when not all similar situations are comparable, but I’m sure that’s beyond your abilities. I won’t wait for you to recognize that any more than I’ll be expecting an apology. Because.. REASONS!!

> [@](#):
>
> Seriously, **TP** , calm down. You can’t force people to play with you, take your own advice. Probably time to change your socks anyway.

Trust me, I’m calm and more than a little amused at the justification you’ll go through (“a niggling, unimportant side topic in a thread that didn’t concern you.”) to avoid admitting being wrong. But I’m getting used to it. So keeping it up at this point will keep me entertained. A+

Finally, you think I’m a sock just because I think you’re an obnoxious bitch? Ha. No, I’m sure I’d think you were an obnoxious bitch if only met you 5 minutes ago. Shrug.

Oh here’s some fun and recent posts from others about you, just for the record, from the bicycle rant:

Tequila, I have no dog in this fight. I didn’t read the original thread and I don’t know what you said and I don’t know what Troppus said.

But here’s the great thing about a message board like this. Everyone’s words are on record. If another poster intentionally makes up things about your posts, everyone who reads the thread will see it. They can read your actual posts right alongside the other poster’s allegations.

So don’t worry so much about this. If you feel anyone is lying about you, you can be content in knowing their lies are obvious to everyone.

There’s so much to like about this thread.

First, **Troppus** gets pitted. (Not for what I expected, but alright.)

And **Troppus** , out of all the people on this board, seems to be the only one able to get under **Colander** ’s skin.

Should have waited until you got to a proper computer, the OP might have been readable then.
