sympathy is not a word that was explicitly said but a fixation on the awfulness of the messenger and a desire to not hear from the messengers helps to obfuscate the original issue. It’s kind of Trumpian. In my mind they are not mutually exclusive. My annoyance with how these AEs came here does not obscure how I feel about what Ripper did. I don’t like either. Ripper did what Dipper did AND I also see that these people from GBCN didn’t come here because of altruistic intentions. They waited almost year and then came under AEs at a ripe time to start drama. They are also here to hurt us. Nobody came here to hurt you. Blow up boobys spot and laugh....sure. Let you know who you are dealing with...absolutely. But to hurt you...that’s a little dramatic.

Also just to point out that ripper is like the ultimate AE. She was asked directly if she was Booby and she lied. She said no but then still strung along the “I used to post there as someone else” carrot.

Or not mutually exclusive. I am not 100% on the correct usage of that term. Same goes for "notwithstanding". Id put myself at about 89% on the usage of each. I am 89% sure I am not sure if you are arguing with me or agreeing with me

ripper When I (more recently) find myself in a disagreement with someone and they are claiming one thing and I am claiming another, I try to put myself in their position and evaluate what I may have done or said to make the opposing party feel the way they are feeling. With that being said, Kirkyetti and gang feel strongly that you are a racist. A couple steps down from that, they feel that you don’t believe black people can truly have money. You are saying these things aren’t true; therefore, there is a disconnect. So my question to you is, if you look through Kirkette’s POV, is there anything you could have done or said that would have made them feel this way. That was exactly what I was getting at. There are different perceptions of what happened and what it means and what’s behind it all. I apologized to kirkette two years ago and I meant it. Still do. My wisecracks about her ranting were wtf and funny to me and a huge portion of the gbcn peanut gallery and when I realized she equates that with me being racist, or at the least, a hurler of microaggressions, I felt awful. Felt awful bc I did not want to hurt someone in that way, for them to feel like they are less than or whatever. There is a huge disconnect between what I feel happened and what some people think happened. Even though I apologized, I am also upset that she went the direction she did. Did she orchestrate fucking with my real life? I mean, if it wasn’t her, it was someone close to her. This was not run of the mill message board chasing, they were burning it down. As for the dicks, I am tired of it. Still tired. They were sent to someone whom I have no affiliation or mutua affiliations with. I have no idea who she is, where she is, etc. As OJ would say, if I did it, it would have been sent to the source. But again, I don’t fuck with people’s real life. Never have, never will.

Does anyone think that the aes are here any other reason than to expose booby? C'mon.
A great byproduct of them wanting to out her for their own reasons is that we now know. But, it was never to enlighten our board, it was to get revenge. And that is fine, a perfectly legit motivation.

@jboogie Not for nothing, I caught the shade of your other comment. And l o fucking l to that sympathy shit. Miss me all the way with that shit. I have actual fucking skin in this, same as you. What I won't fucking do is pretend that threw ousting of an already hated poster is the turning of a new leaf. Show and prove, fuck all that other shit. That we listen to black women shit That listening and learning shit That how can I do better shit. The same black women from gbcn said they don't ban racists. So at this point what? I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about so slow your roll. Nah, I'm not with the subliminal shit, but ok.

Ok so you wait for a year to come here to blow up her spot and let us know who we are dealing with? Then you come in a surge of AEs? That’s dramatic. You’re not here for justice or because you give a shit about making it right for the people on your board that were hurt. You’re doing this for entertainment. It doesn’t change how people feel about Ripper, but it doesn’t make you look good.

I didn’t read past your first sentence. In no way do I enjoy this. That is fucked up. I am going to be straight with you. This is hard to buy given that you have spent the last year unapologetically trying to facilitate drama. My brand of drama is harmless. Shits and giggles type of stuff. I’m not orchestrating a stalking operation.

The AE came with a suspicion. That we already had. It was then confirmed once it was blown up at the other place.
Some of y’all are thinking too hard here.

Meh. There are thousands of little corners of the internet universe that you could have chosen. You chose a place that has a lot of crossover with GBCN.

A massive amount of your post history is gone. You made that bed. You know it looks suspicious AF.

It means you don’t give a fuck about this community. You think it’s a toy for your amusement.

Hasn’t this board, in it’s many iterations, had posters do damage to other members, both IRL and online? So say that one of the worst in recent memory showed up on another board that some of y’all frequent, and is pulling some of the same shenanigans that they had pulled here.
Maybe you DGAF about the posters on that other board, maybe you do. But if you were pretty confident, would you not go over there and at the least shit stir? Pull an “I see you”? Say hey guys, you are starting to suspect that this poster is fucked, well pull up a seat and let me tell ya some stories.
I think that is the extent of it here.

@juliagulia, thinking about your post(s) concerning concrete actions, I think one thing (general) we can do better is post more articles and discuss current events that are not exclusively about Trump. Like, let's learn about and discuss that crazy lady in Oakland that called the cops on the black people trying to cookout. Occassionally, something gets posted, but there isn't nearly the amount of talk around it as the weekly Trump thread. Hell 🍍 🍊 Fineapple 🍍 🍊 herself posted a link to an article about the lack of African American progress in various areas. It never got off page 1. I feel like that was a time she was trying to get people talking and thinking, when she in no way needed to, and people barely bit. I know there is a good deal of eye-rolling at the politics board, but would those of us who genuinely care about becoming more informed and better humans be willing to come to the board, post and read articles, and discuss them??? Stay out of the Trump thread if you don't want to read it. This is not at all directed at you @juliagulia, just got me thinking.

A massive amount of your post history is gone. You made that bed. You know it looks suspicious AF. I’m wondering now if you all think I came in here, found out you were suspicious of me being booby and then scrubbed my account. That’s not how it happened. Again, I didn’t feel I could tell the truth bc no one wants to do the work of understanding the nuance of the situation, people only hear someone say “she’s racist!” and immediately and blindly agree bc if they don’t, they are sticking up for a racist. We see that shit every god damn day on this board (and other boards, what have you). If you are white, it’s even more necessary that you fucking agree and burn at the stake, lest you be a lone wolf and soon-to-be target.
