SITE ADMIN PLEASE READ

I came to this forum to ask a question that, while it may seem trivial to many of you, was nevertheless important to me. While surfing I noticed a thread on a topic that interests me, so I read the responses and offered my own take on the subject.

Within minutes I was subjected to a flame war from someone whose responses indicated that she hadn't read even half of what I'd written. I tried to address her response logically by pointing out that she hadn't read the full body of my original post, but to no avail...the more I pointed out aspects of my view that she'd overlooked, the more sarcastic and nasty she became. (I won't deny that I lost my temper. However, in my own defense, I should point out that she wasn't the only person who disagreed with my point of view, but the other person did so politely, and I responded to him with equal courtesy. Clearly, <B>I'm</B> not the problem here.)

Anyway, I decided to investigate my adversary, and by looking at her profile I learned that she has posted <B>over 1100 messages</B> on this site in <B>less than a year</B>. Considering the content of the messages she directed at me, and the fact that every message of hers that I read contained a disclaimer that she isn't a lawyer, I think it's safe to conclude that her sole reason for posting so many responses is to cause trouble.

That conclusion is further supported by the fact that she deliberately sought out the thread I'd created to ask my own legal question, where she posted two ignorant and sarcastic responses. Then she posted a third message, ostensibly to answer my question. But think, people...why would someone who admits she isn't a lawyer bother answering my <B>legal</B> question? The answer can be found in her opening sentence: "I will be the bigger person here..." In other words, she didn't answer my question to be helpful, because how could someone who isn't a lawyer "help" by offering her <B>opinion</B> about a legal matter? No, she posted that final response in a last-ditch attempt to claim the moral high ground and paint a picture of herself as a nice person. Nice try, but to paraphrase the pop star, "Oops, she did it again."

But it didn't end there. Next I found another message, from someone else (or maybe it's the same woman using a different nickname), defending my attacker and heaping more vituperation on me.

I give up. It's obvious to me now that this board isn't a legitimate forum for people to pose legal questions and engage in logical discourse on various legal issues. It's a clique of fundamentalist radicals operating with a mob mentality--a group of dangerously ignorant and narrow-minded people who use every imaginable dirty tactic to shout down anyone who points out the illogic of their viewpoint.

I'm bowing out of this "forum." I'll do what I should have done to begin with: I'll ask a lawyer to answer my legal question.

Thanks for nothing.

Now I'm REALLY LMAO!!

And I thought JamieT was bad. LOL!

I don't know what's more pathetic: The fact that you keep posting responses, even if the best you can come up with is the puerile "LMAO" ... or the fact that you don't even realize you're making a total fool of yourself.

Are you really that desperate for attention? What's the problem, dear...gain a little too much weight bringing those kiddies into the world, and now hubbie would rather shoot pool with the boys than spend time with you? Or maybe he prefers to spend time with his kids from his OTHER partner. Is life really that boring at the trailer park? Can't afford cable, so you can't get Jerry Springer?

Go ahead, little girl, get the last word on this and every other thread. I hope it makes you feel important. God knows you obviously need <B>something</B> to justify the space you take up on this planet.

If you want to contact Mary, it would be more effective to use the Contact Us link.

Mary, being an attorney, I am sure has heard these sob stories from alot of step mothers in the years this board has been active... not to mention the years she was in practice..

Just trying to give poor "Crisis" a step up. She's wanting to tattle and I figured Mary would read an email much sooner that she can possibly read thru all her boards.

Ne-ner, ne-ner! "I'm going to tell on you!" What the hell do you expect to happen? Are they going to put MySonMom in the corner? You think they're going to restrict her from responding? Give me a break! If you don't like the answer you recieved, repost it to someone who may care! After attacking someone who is respected on this board, I doubt you will get any responses of use to you, or anyone else who reads them. Oh well.

From the sound of your Ignorance for MSM's situation, you seem to be the one living in the trailer park. I bet your Daddy is your G-pa too, I'm right aren't I???

I know MSM doesn't need any defending, she can take care of herself, but people like you who expect to talk to an actual attorney for free, and receive the best "Legal Advice" from a website when the ATTY hasn't seen your case file to make an actual informed decision that will actually do you good, is pathetic.

This is an advice website, and I'm sure you/ve seen on here where it states that poeple going thru the same thing may share their stories and insight. To me that says that anyone who so wishes can and probably will give you advice, and their experiences.

Why don't you go get your prozak now, and get a life while you're up.

If attacking me makes you feel better- then go for it, Ignorant people don't bother.

That would be a hoot..
OMG, now I am having an identity crisis.. between jamiet and all her aliases, and alot of people using different nicks and personas I am soooooooo confused..

By the way all, Howto? is her back in recarnate. Nt sure if you saw my post on the child custody board. She is using a different tactic, she started out acting like the CP and then started defending the ex for not paying his support until the appeal is over. How many women that rely on the support would actually say something like, Ohh, dont worry about paying..

Just a little FYI..
