Man, come to think of it, this is really something!
First, someone (who shall remain nameless, please) posts a rather threatening message, insinuating that they have a bunch of info about Carey, including her SS#. I hadn't paid that much attention till then. Rather than poke the ISP in an attempt to coerce this person to not do that, or to punish them for it (whatever!), I just put out a little reminder that they're really not all that anonymous if they give someone adequate reason (like real fear) to find out who they are.
15 min later, this person AIMS at me and says they heard I'd gone over to the Pro WWASP side! "Is it true?
..."
From there, I was accused publicly of some really horrible things based on some pretty wild speculation.
Now, I'm apparently being sued for aiding and abbetting Carey, who's alleged to be everything from a drunken, psychotic, vindictive whore to ... just about anything you can think of. Hell, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts, the profane (in Utah) term "Clintonite!" has been bandied about in close company in reference to Carey.
Do you think these folks possibly believe their own fantasies? Or maybe they just really don't want people posting to this forum. After all, you might get sued.
More interesting still, do they think I have something they want and now they're expecting a solicitation for funds? Wouldn't THAT be a hoot!!
