OK, 2,400 views, yet minimal response, so I circled back to try to take it in and offer acknowledgement. I see some parallels with my own surmountable career challenges. What we have in common, I think, is the well-deserved fruits of decades of persistent labour. I found that pro bono consultation was a major factor in helping to detoxify the slings & arrows of the day-to-day regular work context shortfalls in validation and support. One key strategy, as well, was to always be on good terms with top dogs, propping them and making yourself particularly indispensable to them while keeping them on-leash if necessary to deal with detractors.

I made a good living in clinical practice within which the particular challenges of sociopathy emerged from time to time. I have expert witness testimonial status in relation to a broad range of ‘sexual deviance’ issues, sometimes for illegal paraphilia prosecution or child/family incest, other times for civil compensation re: institutional abuse, or for case redirection to treatment cost-covered by individuals or governmental funds. Of course all of that involves assiduous record-keeping as folks like, say, Unicorn can attest to. In personal life I have, since retirement, kept detailed “receipts” in relation to disturbed trolls, both encountered in person and coming at me. My motto: “Be prepared, know who they are including identities and whereabouts, and where ‘the bodies are buried’.” Be a bit investigative commensurate with anticipated complications. It’s just a personal habit; I don’t fear for my safety and I don’t ruminate about them. I just maintain armour prn. I detest manipulation. My troll archive is minimally populated but comprehensive. It consists of 3 such miscreants, all as it turns out stacked with southern Yank punters with global affiliations (though national identity and location are irrelevant and insufficient for asserting patterning), none providers. Names withheld in this chatroom of course. I could probably GPS all 3 if needed on short notice without them necessarily convening at the same establishment. Otherwise, I usually go along to get along and I enjoy socializing with visitors and locals alike in our well known trade venues. I can psychologically metabolize a lot of the usual crap many of us find flung at us often unexpectedly and out of the blue. —- That said, I’m curious as to whether others in our tribe have resorted to record-keeping in the same vein, or endured similar experiences. You know, just because. It’s often a common fact of life.

Fail. And who really cares what you think other than the expected presence of a tiny ineffectual troll brigade scurrying behind the board’s floorboards? As I pointed out earlier, your empty threats, strike that as you hardly hold sway, I mean your stated intentions to put me on Ignore, can only represent that you are obsessed with my content when I periodically make visits in part to assess any changes in the troll brigade dynamics. Usually true to form. Troll commentary is uniformly worthless and irrelevant, whether bitchy or laudatory. There are some trolls that I wouldn’t view as legitimately custodial in any domain. Maybe you can direct me to a topic that you ever originated that might be of interest to me so that I could try to acquire a fully rendered picture of your potential for probation from troll status. Let me guess: your next unoriginal move … “It doesn’t get any easier …”

… while you cannot grasp nuance or concede that I was simply mirroring your own less impressive tendency to turn a point back on to the poster as if you had come up with something original. But I’m sure there are large swathes of readers here interested in unpacking your Russian Doll approach to post tracking. Clearly your go-to is that anybody countering you suffers from illiteracy. That kind of one-note invariant repetitiveness tracks with a shortfall in fully lived life. Where I might lack reading is trying to sort out what recycled news content with which you flood the bar might be worthy of attention. Some is; in sum, not.

What a shock that head attention-seeking peanut gallerist, gossiping in mostly Debbie Downer style while dropping hints about his attendance access to seemingly endless fabulous parties, is observed interloping with irrelevant YouTube input in every aspect of board discussions.

I assume you are referring to the resident troll obsessively tracking my board presence and grousing about my periodic absence, “disappearances”, as if my having a life is predicated on the imperative of consistent and sustained evidence of logging in and posting on an obscure chat board primarily oriented to activities that represent a small fraction of my interests. A sad sack of a guy manufacturing the false narrative that natural breaks in participation are an artefact of some substandard mental state. So yeah, get a life. I think it’s a comparatively neutral burn than that of desperately resorting to the admonishment within a friendly debate to resume psychotropic meds. But a brighter person gets that and has the insight to realize the hypocrisy of piling on while virtue-signalling the importance of appreciating diversity. You seem to fall short of the kind of level of awareness that compensates for overloads of topic entries.

This ought to be fun. You’re a liar, a fact distorter about your fake stalking story, and Tom and I get along and are friendly. He had long before posted his own social photos on our board and his image came up spontaneously in relation to joint Facebook contacts associated with a few of the brothel lads. He is imposingly distinctive looking. He didn’t grasp the media technicalities. But go ahead with your revisionist bull. Ask him yourself. I have receipts that reside in Messenger, and invitations for drinks in FtL. Yeah, I keep a few records in cases where my spidey sense is eventually the necessity of having to deal with bad actors. Always be prepared. You have no receipts, only the delusional assumption that because you’re a board squatter other members may be naïve enough to buy into your drivel. Ask him yourself. You keep bringing up third parties and now naming them because you’re crap at evidentiary content. So … receipts? Waiting with bated breath trying to summon a bit of oxygen sucked up by the troll brigade. Then you randomly bring up some Pattaya guy you similarly criticize and judge, with whom I have no familiarity? You may be a full time resident here because it’s no big stretch that in other contexts you are told to take a hike. What specific meds? You’re in hospitality, as you have posted, though inconsistently hospitable. I’m pre-retirement Psychiatry faculty so a bit tuned in.

You’re not wrong. I think the kids call it hate-watching. Episodically drawn to the ridiculousness and audacity of trolls nevertheless boring and inconsequential so that interest is quickly lost. I need to work on that.

😘

Hon, go tell it on Troll Mountain. I don’t experience trolls as opponents but as candidates for having their clocks fixed figuratively. It’s often more supportive of brain fitness than Wordle or Sudoku.😏 It’s no contest, really. I also personally met a few; as you might imagine, how do you think I rate them as persons in the context of a fuller picture? One just openly described the process of inciting a “kid” [sic] trapped in prostitution to pass judgement on my presentation strolling through a barroom. Believe me, no god’s gift. If only all here could have caught a view of the sad tableau of a punter and his young prospect struggling to engage in meaningful conversation that transcends dissing others. Trust me, you shouldn’t give a rat’s ass about some sources of impressions held about you. BRL800? I fully support your prerogative and glad you had fun. But now you’ve gone and done it innit. There are trolls here I would imagine precipitously scurrying for ways to symbolically put a bounty on you for ostensibly upsetting the local sex trade economy. I think that level of compensation for what you describe is on point. I’ve been trending 200 plus bevvy for brothel ST dalliances but I would happily pony up 800 a pop for community meets if simply to exacerbate these cheapos’ anxiety and aggravation … for even the most remote chance of putting the squeeze on a selection of control-freak chuckleheads sufficiently to price them out. But then they’d perhaps ride it out, unable to release their stranglehold on a pathetic need to steer the narrative and dictate how others should perceive those whose opposing views stir up troll rage. 🤣

Indeed you agree your fellow troll feels confident. As do I observe such misplaced confidence, but I would add such confidence is delusional and baseless.

Now there’s that obsessive tracking characteristic of a tiresome troll manifested once again. So sorry not sorry you if your feefees are deprived of consistent opps for dissing others’ content. No bets needed. Your own history repeats itself like Groundhog Day was invented just for it. Those cycles of input are called “having a life”. Try it sometime. You might also come up with more interesting and less repetitive material, a respite that would incentivize more regular presence on the part of members not keen on being suffocated by the same central cadre of bossypants bores. We have thousands of read receipts for many threads. A broader representation of contribution might result if some wannabe editorial teams yet actual epic fails here would just for gawd sake take a step back and share some of the oxygen in the room.

Good eye and choice for photos. Not trying to be mean but I discovered in Photos edit you can quickly straighten a horizontal line by any number of degrees. Straight from the devil’s throat.

Only boring at first, then …

Telepathy or rote practice to get the snack order right?

Got sort of blogged down. Summary?

No.

I walked the full length of Mackinac Island looking for future crypto in the time it took to read this.

On Toppik regarding sugar, from what I can gather it would be easier and more effective to acquire a young adult sugarbaby sitting on one’s face regularly and obscuring where hairlines begin and end.

What’s the essence of your post?

... should disagree

Look up conventional, and perhaps it will assist you to reduce your unravelling.

Your call, being in charge of the beverage hall and all. Does your union not lobby for breaks?

That you see what? It’s you next Tuesday not all next Tuesday.

I guess there are closets after all.
