But I do not think that she should be treated like an eggshell poster because she's unable to take the fallout from what anyone who has read (and comprehended) a day of this board could see was going to be an unmitigated disaster on all fronts. I take shit on a regular basis about my driving. The Wonk fat jokes prevail even though they're now inapplicable. NFH still takes crap on a regular basis about her objecting to an image involving her grandparents. Hank's drinking problem is always thrown in his face. Ty's mad editing skilzz on the PB will always be brought up again and again and again. Did you know that str8 went to Yale? History has shown that objecting to ribbing and making fun of something will only exacerbate the jokes.

No one** gives a shit that ppnyc is "only a paralegal." In exchange, she shouldn't expect special treatment because she's not a lawyer. And if she says something objectionable--for example, that being a divorced woman is some sort of stigma--gwinky shouldn't be prohibited*** from responding just because she doesn't like ppnyc.

*Though I will say that as much as I hated, despised, and abhored Not Me, she could take it. The difference, though, was that Not Me wanted sought out to be hated. That doesn't seem to be the case with ppnyc, though with some of the stuff that she says, maybe I've misjudged her.

**Except ppnyc.

***By prohibited, I mean urged not to respond, not actually censored, which isn't going to happen here.
while I appreciate the thoughtful nature of in which this was composed, RT, I don't expect special treatment since I am a non-JD. I just really really think that the merciless constant teasing was a bit much. And very mean-spirited. I took the dressing down from TM in the shorts and objected but went about my business in the normal fashion. The continued ribbing was incessant. I don't expect "special" treatment as a paralegal but as a dignified human. No one wants to be called fat and ugly constantly when that was his subjective asessment.

Sort of like how the reverse cowgirl isn't really sex, either, since you can't really see the person? :-)

I don't get, though, where your head and arms would be. Would one gal be on one side of the bed and I'd be on the other? Kind of like doing "leg wrestling"?
Is it possible that you have never never ever seen any Skinemax? It's on every night. Every freaking night if you choose to watch it. Kind of like leg wrestling without so much of the wrestling.

This board was full of merciless, mean-spirited, constant teasing from its inception, if not before that. No one here is treated like a dignified human, except maybe Not Bob.

You remind me of that guy in Vegas who's gone through all his ATM cards, and is now moving to the credit card cash advance. The trainwreck effect is what keeps you from the iggy list, for now.

I don't think that's an exemption. An exemption would be more like a guy blowing another guy because the chick he is fucking thinks it is hot. So, technically gay, but an exemption because it is for hetero reasons. Debatable, of course.

You responded to every.single.post. that could have possibly be construed to be negative about you and to a lot of posts that had absolutely nothing to do with you. For better or worse, that experience has been absorbed into the lexicon of this board. You're going to have to get used to it because there is no defense to it.

As was pointed out to me the last time this came up, it really isn't my place to act as the hall monitor here. (Despite the fact that I would be a really good one.) Nonetheless, I am compelled one more time to say that this whole thing is just a bunch of bullshit.

I don't think that the public board is the place for this discussion, but since everyone involved seems to think that it is, it is clear that a bunch of people have been dicks to ppnyc ever since her return. They should stop. And she should stop responding to them. And to others who have already stopped. And from doing so using Not Public information.

If you don't like someone, put them on ignore.
Dear NotBob, because I like you, I'd like to inform you that you are wrong, in part. Plus, I tried to be hall monitor yesterday and it worked for awhile, but *some* ppeople are just persistent.

People have not been dicks from the beginning. It actually started as hepful advice. Which fell on deaf ears. Then the bitchiness started. And escalated. And you have what you have now. Just fyi.

What does the fucking asterisk reference???? Christ.

I didn't get anything about special treatment for ppnyc having to do with her being a paralegal -- I think it had to do with her being a whiny vindictive brat. I think the only reason RT brought up that it was a bunch of lawyers going at her is that lawyers are usually better than the average person at being creatively very insulting in writing.

People call me fat and vapid, and I believe there was a sock created at one point whose aim in life was to get me to leave the board by purporting to represent a majority of posters -- back when there were a lot more posters. Wah wah wah. You want nice, go participate on a board sponsored by BB or whatever it was that kicked us off because we used too much bad language.

You remind me of that guy in Vegas who's gone through all his ATM cards, and is now moving to the credit card cash advance. The trainwreck effect is what keeps you from the iggy list, for now.
And you have reminded me of this:
  • In Jerusalem, a female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time.

    So she went to check it out.

    She went to the Wailing Wall and there he was!

    She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.

    "I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?"

    "For about 60 years."

    "60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

    "I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."

    "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

    "Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall."
