... I am now happy to be simply a man.
Does he seriously have nothing better to do than invent identities for other people?
Its easier for him this way.

Why? Because Lt's concept of social interaction is "mutally assured distruction". People whom he thinks still like him are spared his attacks. His standard for this behavior is fairly low. It helps to be female, but not necessary. She must never ask a question and always be polite and complimentary.
There are still a few people who cling to Lt's memory, before his slow desent into madness. I remember reading a thread from many years ago and running across one of his posts. It seems strangely civil. A new comer to Lit does not have the benefit of fond memories like that.
The person who still sees some decency in Lt is a Lit Unicorn. Some think the creature is extinct and the last ones may only exist in Lt's mind.
Sensible people have trouble with self inflicted injury and most of Lt's actions simply make no sense, but are still fascinating for being totally self centered, yet totally self unaware at the same time.
Its the same reason people visit the Le Brea tar pits. They look at the preserved remains of animals who only wanted a drink of water and were trapped in the goo, while other animals stood on the hill and wondered how good could water from a tar pit taste?
That's true. Most of the people that I see supporting him knew him for longer and are probably dealing with that.
THANK YOU. That actually explains a lot and fits.
You have seen somebody support him. That would be a unicorn sighting. All I have observed is a few people being polite, for old time's sake.
I just read the "fake death" thread, where the whole thing seemed entirely surreal.
There's a confluence of events that takes place.
1. IF someone observed him speaking passionately about things in which they believe or were persuaded.
2. IF someone believed his opponent deserves the abuse and tactics used. (Or conversely excused the abuse and tactics, or never observed them.)
3. IF someone had a charming private conversation with him separate from board events.
THEN the Unicorn exists.
I can understand one, but I think it's biased. Two is a deal killer for me and I'd end up discounting three.
So there's the logic chain for me.
I could speculate about the reasons you would continue to frequent a board where you think everyone's an idiot... seems like illogical behaviour to me.
And for the record, you don't have to be incorrect to be insane. You just have to be insane to be insane.
Apparently Le Jerque is capable of reading every one of the nearly 30,000 threads on the Author's Hangout, to support his claims that certain things are never tolerated there.(edited)
I'm sure everyone has better things to do. It's a question of what you're capable of doing, I suppose.

That's just calculated betting on ignorance. Some people in the AH think the GB is nothing but scoundrels and scum anyway.
I rather like the sound of 'scoundrel'.
All nine of the respondents, Definitely an accurate representation. Mostly people ignored your ranting.I'll tell you why. When I posted a poll saying whether or not your behavior was acceptable, the overwhelming majority said NO.
Honest? Because you made it an open poll? People will hardly ever vote what they actually think when they know it can and will be used against them at a later date. Tell us that you're above that, pardon us all while we laugh our collective asses off. The only reason you make any poll open is to gather ammunition for later use. insisting that a private poll is less "honest" than a public one is ignorant.And my poll was an honest one - unlike the one you posted
er, I'm sorry, your "husband" posted
which was totally anonymous and totally loaded with votes from the trolls on the GB.
It's funny how you always deny that the same troll-loaded poll your "husband" posted garnered a number of responses accusing YOU of being guilty of racial insults - the very thing you were fraudulently calling on them to condemn (and you got called out to the carpet for that, too, but you keep denying that).
If Recidiva keeps denying these facts, I will post the links to them again to make "her" look like an idiot all over again.
I've never read this thread. Thanks for the link.
I just have to ask again:
Why do people think he wouldn't have done this?
Why do people say "this is beneath him" or "he's better than that."
This is an eternal mystery to me. Probably the one question that keeps me coming back. It's a mechanism I don't get.
What is that social math? Denial? Being easily bribed by the ability to carry sentence structure? Is it that people think that having intelligence means you can't be a complete raving looney? Does that make the world so scary that it's easier to pretend he's "deep down" a good guy? Based on what evidence?
Tis a mystery.
I just read the first post.
I'm of the opinion that anyone who believed it should be a candidate for state enforced sterilization.
And not be allowed near open flame or sharp pointy things.
Yup, as I predicted, Starrkers found out s/he was wrong and skipped town.I bumped it? Wrong. Recidiva and her GB gang not only loaded the vote tally but also made the hugest noise in that thread. You wanna see who was bumping the most? That wasn't me. That was Recidiva and her General Board buddies. The raw post numbers for that thread is available - care to take back your claim now or should I show you the official rankings of who was bumping that thread the most?
Ninja please. I'm putting the idiots on ignore. I'm cleaning house. When I'm done I won't even see any of their posts anymore. Then I'll only have non-idiots to read and talk to.I could speculate about the reasons you would continue to frequent a board where you think everyone's an idiot... seems like illogical behaviour to me.

Recidiva is a liar and a hypocrite.I like you.
What? It's been all day long and no one has yet shown us any examples on other Lit forums of people pulling this shit and getting away with it?
"you fit my brother in law's description of a nigger"
"I will perforate you!!!" to someone who never threatened them
"if white people turned on black people, they'd run screaming to mommy"
"dorkiest black dude on Lit"
"Shut up or I'll cut your loving tongue out."
"Nigger of the <name your Lit forum>"
Huh? What? You're still ducking and dodging this issue? I thought so.

I sincerely hope that didn't fly over your head.
All forums have their place.Oh no, I got that, I just meant to suggest that you might be happier in a forum where you weren't forced to ignore so many members.![]()
So you're saying that people got away with those things on this board? All the efforts you made to knock down those posters don't count for anything?What? It's been all day long and no one has yet shown us any examples on other Lit forums of people pulling this shit and getting away with it?

I am a success with people in this world. The General Board, on the other hand, is unique in that it is the only place people like Recidiva can truly thrive. Outside of here? She's cast-off garbage.
