Nice people are so exhausting. Especially when they beat you over the head with how nice they are (which is rather unkind to do anyway). I won't stand for it any longer!
I am always curious when something like this happens and all of a sudden all these new people are chiming in. I don't think Woct is done here and would be surprised if she creates a new AE to have as backup. It just seems she goes from one to the other, seamlessly.
There are really really nice people here autumnfire. YOU are just clueless. Are you seriously saying that people here are unsympathetic towards pregnancy losses?? Please. GO SAT DOWN. TM nuggetbrain

Listen, I need to talk about this a little bit more. I'm needy, people, but the more I think about this, the more I get squicked out about it. Somebody has been on this place for years, deceiving us, not just for the thrill of a good catfish, but to infuse herself into this community - in some places very intimately - to defraud us and continue to gather information about us. The longevity and familiarity of this is whacked. I'm saying nothing new at all, I know we're all thinking this, but this is...what did you say, 05?...unwell.
The funny thing is she just thought she'd found her personal photo album.
Yep it was me. I wanted to see if she looked like Alyssa Milano so I googled her screen name thinking that her old posts from TN would pop up and maybe a picture would be in there. And the photobucket site popped up.

THANK YOU SNIPS.
I have so many feels today. Most of them are about work and my two-day migraine, but I am feeling a SHAMEFUL amount of sadness over this. I really liked Monterey (although my radar started PINGING about two pregnancy posts in). I don't understand how or why she would do this to the posters who are TTTC/post-loss. I don't understand why she would do this to Chesh. I'm sad for Chesh. I'm pissed at Chesh.

I'd love to know why she was storing all those photos.
And why the one of me was so bad.
I once accidentally downloaded someone's pic to my kindle. I was dosing off while perusing a thread and my finger hovered too long (damn touchscreen). I was alternately embarrassed and amused but deleted it because it's odd to keep someone else's picture. Add to it that it was a picture of their cat and while I like cats, everyone who knows me knows I'm much more of a dog person.
This may have been covered somewhere, but who was the probie who found the public album in the first place? Wasn't it someone with like 150 post? Does anyone know who she is? (I am just wondering if perhaps she was another MB persona).
Did an IP cross check ever happen?
I don't think anyone really knows me. I don't post all that much. I started on this site with the Starting Over board and then made my way over here. Definitely not another MB persona. I don't have the imagination for that!
I'm more unnerved by this than Vaba. Vaba conned money from us and that makes me feel better because I can understand it. I don't get why someone would lie for YEARS with seemingly no end game. Add in the creepy photobucket account and past trolling accounts makes this whole thing so confusing. I guess she just wanted attention and/or to be someone she's not.

Dude, I am so conflicted about Chesh. I want to believe and know that she was major collateral damage in this whole thing, but, but, but....why did she not want to tell us that Woct was here? Deceiving us and tricking us into a veil of normalcy, not giving us the ability to decide if we wanted to engage with her?? Why would Chesh not ever, after posting about Woct and MC on the Nest with all of us, tell us and let us protect ourselves? I know it seems melodramatic, but I am creeped out about playing hard and fast with people's livelihoods. I guess I need to wait and see what Chesh comes around to, but I really hope she gives herself some distance from MB/Woct.

She's probably already here.
I have always suspected that trolls like this have many accounts going at once (with various start dates and numbers of posts) so that if one gets discovered they can ditch it and continue on with one that isn't "new".
It is all so gross.
And, I would like to know who has time for all that, and managing all of that? What in the world do these people do for money?

What always freaked me out about woct was that Kellie-Martin-in-a-Lifetime-movie habit of trying SO HARD to be one of the cool kids. Like the GTG countdown ticker, the "I know real names" BS, etc. And now I'm realizing that MB started using "The German" in the tradition of "The Greek" or "The Fireman." It's just that intersection between sad and creepy that can fool a nice person who wants to believe the best in people.
Ellie said there was nothing interesting about MB's IP address
I felt like this was a weird way for her to phrase her answer. Why not say it wasn't associated w/ any other screennames?
This is what I thought. Also, it was y4m, not Ellie. She just said there was nothing interesting about her IP, but she didn't say whether or not there were other names associated.

I thought she said there was nothing interesting about Chesh's IP and everyone was all, "...yeah, we weren't asking about her." Did she later clarify the same about MB and I just missed it?
Yeah, first she said there was nothing about Chesh's and then a few of us were like no MB's, then she said there was nothing interesting about hers either.
A mod said there was nothing suspect about MB's IP address, so I don't think so. Not unless the mod wasn't thinking to look at that possible connection.

I think (this is the story I am telling myself anyways) that she always wanted to fit in here and be one of "us". Her crazy always showed itself eventually. I think MB is just the persona that finally worked for her and she realized she had to dial down the dramatic stories to be believable which she did at first. I still feel really gross, but I am hoping there isn't more sinister things going on.

I kind of wonder if she's on some other board somewhere and maybe pretending those are her photos? That was my first thought yesterday.
I imaged searched the one she had of my kids, and the rest from our shoot. I didn't find any. I would like to believe it was just automatically uploading accidentally saved pictures.

And then she stabs you to death on your porch.
I love you and your knowledge of bad made-for-TV movies. Today on YouTube they had the one about the Texas cheerleader mom who tried to bump off her daughter's competition. Love.

This is why I think she already has other AEs in the works or even on the boards now and yesterday's blow up was an easy way to start posting more as that new person.
