I have requested that this thread be closed... Seems that some folks use threads fir their own private jollies and such has happened here...

I do sincerely appreciate the advice, support and understanding of so many of my friends here which has made this ordeal easier...

Thank you, all...

Well, first of all, this mini-vacation isn't "flight" from the Step-ie 'n Princess Show... We've had this planned fot the last several months...

Havin' said that, however, the timng couln't be better for the P-Vine...

And we had a great day today bombing around all these small western Carolina moutain towns and visited with our old friends at "Plants of the Blue Ridge" in Pinola and picked up 7 wild-flowers that we wanted and a native azalea at another nursery that we have wanted...

Came back and the P-Vine's sister had prepared a gourmet supper of scallops, rutabega/potato casterole and a yummy spinich salad... BURP... Excuse me...

BTW, I am sorry that folks have gotten all cranked up here 'cause I loves all ya'lls... Yeah, even the GfinS... Don't much like her at times but, hey???

I hope Bobert and the P-Vine are enjoying peace and quiet in the cabin. I haven't checked the weather yonder...we've gone from 85F to 18F. Either way it's good to have a break from everyday life.

Have a great time, Bobert and P-Vine.

Well, Ebbie, in this case, it goes far beyond that. If you follow the time-line : It was all warm and fuzzy. Then it alluded to what it COULD say on a highly professional level. It supported it's believabilty by unsupported credentials. Then it spewed some unitelligible ambigouous shite. Then it got nassty. I jumped in and told it POLITELY to fuck off and leave Bobert alone (more than once). I stopped reading it's posts so I don't really know where it went from there.

It is a professional troll. As I said before... calculated and patient. Like a cat stalking prey. Seen it do the same things before.

BTW, the reason I use "it" when referring to it? I know that pisses it off. And I cannot throw it out of the bar on it's ass. All I can do is ignore it. Like I said, that is the only way to make it go away. It's very hard to ignore it but I just have to try because I cannot kick it's ass in person. This is the internut and it's a (self-proven) nut.

A trolldar (or 'troll radar') is the feeling one has when they suspect they are being fed false information just to provoke a response (also known as 'trolling').

Hmmmmm I hadn't suspected it. :)

Ebbie... you didn't? You need "Trolldar". I haven't read any of it's recent posts but seeing that it still posting after it was pointed out quite clearly in it's own and other's posts that it is indeed a troll - an unwelcome, nasty troll - only confirms that you need Trolldar.

Enjoy your time away from the stress, Bobert. A change is as good as a rest, eh? Say HI to Bigfoot for me and Dan. Oh... yeah... get his emali addy for Dan - Dan's been looking for him for a while.

It is sad to think that a person – a self-proclaimed former counselor (former, because booted out, no doubt about it – can be so deluded and off the mark as to draw the conclusions that person has done. Even though I seldom agreed with that person I had not thought of him as a troll. I have changed my mind – unless, perhaps, there is a more accurate description for that flailing behavior

You mean you'd rather be chased out of P-Vine's house, than deal directly with it????

Is she she to have drive there too??

Great having a 'man' around the house, huh?

You might have 'peace' and quiet for the time being, but you know, as well as I, that this isn't over..just put off.

...and Bobert, don't think for a moment that I am 'against' you, in this matter...but sooner or later, you'll figure out that the bond between mom and son is a lot deeper than 'convenient' for you.

I understand, Bobert. When a troll yangs on ya, ya just wanna fight back. But that's what the troll wants... attention. The attention it seeks is from you reponding, no matter how you respond.

The only reason I posted about it was because it got personal and it attacked you. Fuck with me is one thing, fuck with my friends is another. Seriously, I am 99.9% sure nobody gives two shits from Tuesday about what some psycho-troll thinks about how you dealt with your situation. To have this thread turn into it being about a troll is just wrong. IGNORE THE TROLL. Don't even read the posts. Trust me.

Now, there were other posts which were constructive and worthy of consideration. Jeri's posts are an example. But, the troll used them as a launchpad for a personal attack which was slow, calcuated, manipulative and determined... and thinly disguised in it's agenda and ultimately ended in an all out personal attack on your character. Fuckin pissed me off to no end. That's why I said what I said.

But... that is what trolls do. Piss you off... for fun. Sick, but true.

Bobert! STOP THAT! I don't read the troll's posts anymore. Neither should you, nor anyone else that has read the previous insinuations and personal attacks and thinks the troll is a troll. Such shite can only be ignored by readers or deleted by a Mudelf. If you ain't an elf, ignore it. It WILL go away.

As for "fists", no. Ya can't do that on the internut. Here, your fist is simply not reading a troll's posts. Even if ya DO read em, ya don't acknowledge em. On accounta the troll's posts are it's downfall. And they are in writing, forever, for everyone to read and judge. Trolls can say whatever they want and they do. But, anyone who takes their last post as "true" without reading back is just being controlled by a troll. I expect just about all real Mudcatters know that but trolls are just too fucked up in the head to give up their obsession.

How's that for some psycho-shit?

hi Bobert, just reading all this for the first time tonight. Passive aggressive? no way. I remember reading earlier on in this thread that both the P-Vine and stepie wanted you to talk to the d-i-l about her princess behaviour. What a trap that would have put you into - you would've been Bad Bobert.

Instead, you played cool until P-Vine couldn't handle it any more and did the dirty work. and that's how it should be, because She's the Ma-in-law and it's Her son who's bought the Princess in (btw, my son bought a princess home for a while, but I was the one who went + hid in my room). But there's one thing that needs rightin' before they move out........

Why not revive those old Mudcat Commandos (I can see gnu in there with a fist or two) and take the steppie down to the local male sexual health clinic for a quick snip?! That'll fix any ongoing concerns about extra mouths to feed, and as he already has some kids, he can tell the princess her Lyme disease may have made her infertile. In the meantime, create a roster and put her on the bathroom cleanup.

best regards

freda

Well, Step-ie spent a good half an hour last night with his mom and even though he didn't give up anything on the emotional side, it was a first good step...

They have reserved a rental truck for next Friday and plan on being moved the following Saturday... So, 12 more days...

I'm not too sure when I'll have my little "exit talk" with him but I have it organized in my mind and don't think he will be threatened by it but he does need to understand the "DNA thing between mothers and their sons"... If I can whittle that square peg into Step-ie's round hole then that will be some movement on his part...

Meanwhile, we're off to the mountains of Western Carolina for three or four days...

Thanks all...

Ignore the troll. It simply craves attention and gets it's jollies by trying to wind people up. It can do that on the internut if encouraged. If it did that in a bar, it would end up out the door on it's ass and that's just too long and hard to do in cyberspace. A waste of time. Let the troll spew. With every post, it lessens itself in everyone's eyes and, if ignored, will simply crawl back under the bridge where it belongs.
