Can someone summarize the ML drama?

Remind me of ojo? I feel like I was here for that.

It was relatively recent so you may have been off birthing a baby. Ojo PMed very personal (and very false) information about another poster (who doesn't post on MMM but posts on several other boards) to a regular ML poster. Shitstorm ensued. It was then discovered that Ojo is a lying heinous bitch.

I believe the story is that she didn't know at first, found out later, and didn't think it was that big of a deal. But she didn't know the details of woct.

She knew she was a faker from TN who faked m/c before and didn't say ANYTHING when she did it again for the 3rd time.

This is the weird part. I can understand just letting things lie up to this point.

I saw MMM mentioned on GOMI recently and was like "oh shit, I thought they only visited ML!" Stupid of me lol.

Yeah, they were discussing the circle thread. Which is odd because I don't think there was anything in the title or anything that would point directly to VB so I guess they just read everything so as to not miss a VB reference? HI GOMI!!!

[cincodemayo]

WHY would we be on GOMI? a Verona thread?

[ilikedonuts]

Wait we can't be republicans?

I'm lost!

There was an ML poster who got flamed to the heavens because she votes straight-ticket Republican without caring about issues or researching the candidates or something.

On the one hand, it sounds like people think you're evil if you're a Republican which is unfair. On the other hand, I did find it weird because even my bleeding heart liberal ass votes for local Republican candidates when I think they're better than the Democratic candidate. But alas, tons of people in this country vote straight-ticket for either party so that poster wasn't unusual except on GBCN.

We feel safe in GBCN but it isn't a private board.

ETA I thought of a couple people.

Nope, MM too

Listen, if someone on the Internet sends someone else on the Internet money because of a sob story then that's on them. No one was infiltrating bank accounts here.

ETA: And thus why Otter et al are far down the list for me.

It can be hard to predict who the crazies will turn out to be. When it's people with tons of drama, sure, but ojo certainly never set off any alarms for me until that all went down.

I don't think our board attracts a lot of drama. What are people going to catfish? I say I feed my kid kale/egg white scrambles but I actually feed him Uncrustables? DRAMA

[redheadbaker]

<------ absolutely, completely lost

Also, I promise I'm real. At least 4 CEP'ers have met me.

I agree. I also think that ojo's actions were wrapped up in a lot of her own mess and she was lashing out.

Eek. I JUST came out of lurkdom and now I'm scared shitless. I think it's safe to say I will never be posting pictures or giving very personal information out here.

Which probably makes me suspicious as a catfish. Sigh.

Good thing nothing exciting ever happens to me.

Well, at least you started posting before all this went down

She was always pretty intense tough.

Yes, I could never manage half the crap with DD that she does with twins. I think she had a quest for perfection with regards to her children since the rest of her life with her DH was in such disarray but this is just me talking out my ass.

Honestly though, I don't think we'd be immune to catfishing. MB was (allegedly) lying about being pregnant. This is a board where there are a lot of pregnant people. It's like how there are catfishes/goldfishes on TB - baby-related things offer instant AW-ness for someone who gets off on doing this shit.

I do remember her having a good amount of real life drama by MMM standards but that all turned out to be real, right? Her crazy came from such an unexpected direction!

[mrsfarmer]

I purposely don't post more of my IRL drama as it sounds like a catfish story to me too. Also, don't quite trust birth mom to not find something I post.

Well, crap. I do NOT have a thick enough skin for GOMI to snark on me.

I vote that if we ever get a catfish on MMM that they are instead called a goldfish.  Who's with me?  Has this already been decided and I'm way late to the game?

I say real. The recent MB shitsuation had me skeptical from the beginning but I don't have that same skepticism about this one.

Yes. Most of my interactions with her ca. late 2012-mid 2013 left me feeling like Ron Burgundy:
