The Seaward, because I will never get over her saying god sends children with disabilities to very special people.
Mekia, because of so many recent posts, but particularly getting a dog from a breeder, letting her MIL take him and not stopping her from letting him run without a yard when she knew he was dangerous, and not spending the money to retrain him when she seems to have discretionary income (see cleaning lady posts), and basically,moot being willing to clean up her own shit.
I am sure there are more.
ETA: EVERYONE who devolves into gifs when there are serious subjects to address.
What if some one giffed you first? what if the serious stuff has been talked about already? What if the gif is on point for the conversation?
Basically, are there exceptions to your gif dislike?
No. They universally annoy me.
Booby- I remember your response to sonrisa's post about her father. I was annoyed at you for awhile after too, then forgot,then remembered it in this post. Just so no one thinks sonrisa is crazy. Anyway, I thought it was weird at the time and I feel like maybe there was trolling then or something . . . I don't know. Something happened to make me think it wasn't you being you.

Anyway. Don't leave. We need you.
Thanks, elle. The initial response read like good old fashioned ML gaslighting (not that I expected her to remember the post because it wouldn't have mattered to her at the time, but it was a bit surreal to have booby be the one pushing for name naming).
scotty has asked to be deactivated and I'm putting in a request with EllieArroway to honor her request. But I'm not very happy about it and how it came about.
This lady hired a former pro soccer player to coach her 4 and 5 y.o. privately, and her kids play for a private team and our team. David's soccer team is undefeated for two seasons and she basically told me the other day that David is embarrassing our team and I should pull him out and try baseball. He's not THAT bad, lol. And ya know, he's FIVE. I paid my $100 like the rest of the parents!
OMG, I am pisssssed on your behalf. What a freaking bitch. I mean, how did she even let those words come out of her mouth? I know this isn't the post to go off on a tangent, but I really fucking hate this culture where kids can't just have fun with an extracurricular sport anymore. They have to be prodigies. Just let the kids have some freaking fun!

No no no I just got to your out post. Please don't go, please don't go Don't go away I'm begging you to stay Please don't go I'm begging you pleeease, please please
Here's the full story, after a month or so I started to assume it was a mistake - because, really, WTF? Perhaps she misunderstood the OP, or posted in the wrong thread, whatever. Still. It rankled. To this day, if she posts something mildly annoying I get BEC about it in my own head. The funny thing is, this post has cleared it up. I no longer have that lingering "perhaps she meant it."
I'll just say she's one of the people expressing shock at my post. I'm not going to name names because I think I'm finally ready to drop it. And frankly, having her get pissed I've been holding a grudge (as reasonable a response as it might be) would put her back in BEC crackers territory indefinitely.
Seriously I'm so sorry that happened. Even accidentally (like posted in wrong thread or something) that must've hurt so badly
I came in here to express my surprise that no one mentioned me. Da fuq is happening?? Nobody is allowed to leave!!
YOU were never BEC for me but your wedding posts were, if that makes sense. I got snarky with you one day and you simply said "then why don't you stop opening my wedding posts?" It was like a light bulb went on. This is not sarcasm, I seriously sat myself down and evaluated WHY I kept opening those posts if they annoyed me. So I stopped reading them. Except I couldn't help myself, I had to look at the wedding photo posts. It was truly a gorgeous wedding. You made Every. Single. Right. Decision. Perfection. And you looked like you were loving your day. I have always felt bad since that snarky comment that I rained on your pre-wedding enthusiasm. I'm not sure if you even remember it happening but I hope it didn't put me into BEC territory with you.
Back on the other board, I was a regular on parenting but only glanced at ML when shit got crazy. It was a very intimidating board to try to join. Parenting didn't make the exodus to here so I had to take the leap and start posting on ML. You were one of the first posters to be nice to me. I can't remember if you liked one of my posts or gave me a LOL or whatever but I remember thinking that if my posts please Scotty, then maybe I'll do ok around here. You've also pointed out when I'm being an idiot a time or two. It's always been deserved and done in a clever and funny way. Then you come right back and like my next post so I figure it just means My sporadic posts have been accepted around here.
I hope you get a good rest and feel up to coming back soon.
I'm slowly shaking my head and making little tsk sounds. I'm not even at smashing windows level of rage, more like just smoldering disappointment. Which really is worse.
As a former rebellious teen, I can attest to this.

Cleaning up after my own shit? Why the fuck would I want to retrain my dog and get close to him especially after what happened? And just because we have a cleaning lady doesn't mean we can afford everything like you can.
And just so you know, MIL no longer has him. A hunter with extensive experience with training has him now. He knows everything that has happened and is working with him now. What makes you think I was just sitting here doing nothing about this?
But of course, I know everyone else would have done things better than I would have.
Well, I sure as hell wouldn't have gotten a HUNTING dog from a backyard breeder. We can start right there. And if I had, you can be damn sure that dog would have had the best training possible, when he started showing signs of aggression, because my dogs are not disposable to me. And if by some horrible, horrible tragedy, there was no way to retrain him, it's true, my next step would not have been to let him run free in my MIL's neighborhood. I don't blame you for not wanting him around after he attacked you, but letting it get to that point and refusing to EVER own your responsibility for that puts you in BEC for me.

What the hell? Where did I not own it up? Obviously you missed my posts about my regrets about not recognizing his possession aggression vs "just being a puppy".
And a backyard breeder? Yeah ok. H did a lot of research and was very careful about picking out a pup. And a hunting dog has nothing to do with this.
But of course, you can never do wrong, you're perfect, we know that.
ETA: and try being attacked at 3 days PP. I don't think you'd be able to think straight.
A reputable breeder would have required the dog be returned to her. That point was made over and over again in your post. Since the breeder does not now have the dog, and was not your first call, the breeder was not reputable. It's not something you can debate. A breeder who doesn't retain a contractual right to take its puppies back is not a reputable breeder by definition.
I'll say it again. I don't blame you for your reaction after you were attacked, though I do side eye letting the dog run free. I blame you for everything preventable that lead up to it, which you are still terribly defensive and unapologetic over.
