Members Riobard Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM Members Posted yesterday at 03:41 PM 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. Quote

They might if a component of an interestingly life. From a person prone to oodles of mindnumbing overdocumentation your flimsy attempt at a burn is laughable. Guess you’re trying to suggest I get a life of a different ilk. Again, your pathetic lack of insight leads you to hypocritically contradict your own virtue-signalling dictum related to the value of personal autonomy in life choices. A minuscule fraction of my time is consumed by the type of tracking I described. You yourself and your snideness exemplify the imperative of judicious strategies for self-preservation. This only buttresses the idea that you should get a life beyond a bowl of dried up cherry pits that’s otherwise the default. It’s no wonder that you described perpetual sequential cycles of struggles with integration into workplace contexts that most people find easy-breezy. I can also see people of your nature and lack of filters coming a mile away. Good luck. Quote

I am referring to having ways to shut down and counter those rare examples where snivelling sociopathic acquaintances that would have best been avoided have the temerity to attempt to impugn a good reputation with impunity, naïvely cowering behind the assumption that they possess identification and full profile anonymity. They don’t. What goes around comes around. Patience and resourcefulness win the day. Try to paint me into a corner? Be able to stay a few steps ahead with no tactical errors. Take your best shot and pray to have the upper hand. These are outliers whose lack of significance figures prominently in driving their audacity. Two have seemingly backed down and the remaining one has Duracell batteries but mostly runs in place in circles chasing its tail while inventing reality. What fun.😴 Quote

Yet you’re perpetually arguing with a resident of Quebec willing to take on stupid people, so he’d take the compliment about intelligence but for, as he’s pointed out, the reality that a troll’s viewpoint is always a nothing burger … or, as is said up there, a nothing poutine. And where have you ever interacted with an actual fully developed Canadian adult outside of one brief undoubtedly interesting for you introduction? …. Much ❤️, your Latino Bear side. Quote

Who’d have thunk you’d haul out of your barron trunk of pathetic party clown tricks such a reference. It tracks that a troll would diss one of his most influential role models. How hard do people think it can be for somebody like me to roll with yet another double-your-trouble sisterhood of irrelevance? Comes across as just another bot merger … Mar-a-Lago? Say hello to your next sunshine state sunshine -deprived Frankensteinian bride Marred Ego. Palm Beatch circus tent conveniently all set up. Quote
