New post in: lovely old guys tripping over beer cans; only friendly drunks allowed

Why is everyone playing nice with people who are obviously bent on making your lives miserable? AIRMID, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You show all the marks of a classic, textbook sociopath. Period. I won't play nice with you, or fumble around ,or play "he said, she said," or mince words. I don't like you. I don't care who you are, in my book you're a waste of oxygen. I don't give a rat's hind end whether you like me, Jeff, Megan, or anybody else. You come on here for the attention, you get it, and you're happy. Whoopie. Yay you. Go pound sand.

 

Allie - I don't even know what to say to you. I'm sure Charlie Manson was nice to many people, and he sure did get a few of them to fawn all over him, didn't he? You're loyalty seems to be misplaced. I can't fault you for that, I suppose, there are a lot of good people who make the same mistake when they interact with manipulative personalities like AIRMID's. The pattern is there, and has been since the beginning. Even if it wasn't, the fact that she just can't seem to let it go should be disturbing to you. It isn't, though.

 

Yes, this is a hit and run post. I don't care. When what goes on here bleeds over into other parts of the Internet, and it involves my friends, then, yeah, I've got to say something.

 

Gordon was right to try to ignore the petty little manipulative B.S.

 

I'm out. See you all on the 15th.
