Beck, you’re an attention junkie and a liar. Here is every single post I made in the thread since you started the latest episode of the Beck Show; maybe you can tell me where I dragged up anything.

And then you started your typical martyr routine:

> Listen up. The bullying has got to go. It’s ugly. It’s hurtful in ways you don’t understand unless it’s happened to you.  
> I was bullied here. So be it.

> I admit it if I really think I’m wrong. Every time.

So, which post of mine dragged this up? Put up or shut up, please.

You just can’t get enough of me, can you?

I do know that. That’s what I meant. She could bend over and get fucked. (Oops another dirty word)

Yet you scold posters over calling people “douche” and “douchebag” in the Pit because you dream they’re sexist terms. Somehow sexist terms don’t bother you when you use them?

Well, I don’t think I lecture people. But that’s fine if you do. I hear you.

She, SHS is a public person. In politics. Who’s also a total crap head. That steals from the people she pretends to govern. As she bides time til she can get her nose back up Trump’s butt.

I don’t believe she’s really truly off limits.

I said I was sorry I used the word _bitch_ referring to her. Or any woman. If anyone was triggered by it I am apologetically asking forgiveness.

I still think douche or douchebag is horrible name to call someone.  
It triggers me. Not one person has ever apologized to me for saying it. Not one.

I don’t dream they’re sexist terms. I know they are.

I’m assuming, from some of these exasperated replies to a hidden poster, that the thread has become the Addled Southern Biddy show again? Crane must be relieved.

Don’t look for it in this thread, it will be in some other unrelated thread that isn’t getting as much traffic as this one.

I’m honestly surprised at all the anger directed at **Beck**. I know some posters are generally disliked and I can’t figure out why they stick around. I thought **Beck** had her fans. It seriously makes me wonder what else I’m missing and whether I have any clue how the Dope feels about me.

Beck has always had detractors but lately she has branched out of MPSIMS to offer opinions as fact in FQ and to pull the old LiberalThe Poster trick of making herself a Martyr in threads like this and then claiming she’s being bullied after she insulted people left and right. That tends to piss off people that largely just ignored her in the past.

But another huge part of this was her virulent defense of her oppressive opinion about teachers who did porn. Someone else can fill you in on the details on that one. I barely read that pair of threads until it spilled into here thanks to Beck.
