The Pack Mentality: Our Place, The Next Right Choice, All About Him & The Catbox's Operating Manual

The Gals of Our Place & the Next Right Choice & All About Him
at their Latest Get-Together

by Tertia Loebenberg

What is it about anonymity that brings out the worst in people? I don’t get it.

I know that I am perhaps too honest sometimes, too public, too open and so I am probably not the best person to understand this, but I really do not get why people think they can be rude / hateful / spiteful / nasty / mean / just plain ugly if they think they can get away with it. What I want to know is, don’t they feel just a little bit bad? Do they have a conscience? When they go to sleep at night, do they feel at least a smattering of guilt for what they have done to others? How does being anonymous change who you really are? If you believe so strongly in your opinion / belief, then say it openly. Stand up and have the strength of your convictions. Be proud of who you are and what you have to say. The fact that you are hiding behind anonymity makes me think that either you are a coward, or deep down, you doubt what you have to say.

There is an online support forum that I sometimes read. I don’t participate too often for obvious reasons, but I read, just in case there is someone I can reach out to and help / offer encouragement etc. This forum is set up in a way that allows people to post anonymously, with pretty much a guarantee that their identity will not be known. And people use this in the most spiteful of ways. They post their regular posts under their ‘known name or pseudonym and when they get pissed at someone or something, they post anonymously. They attack other people, say horrible things, be really mean… all because they can get away with it.

I honesty don’t get it. I find it extremely cowardly and deceitful. It smacks of bullying. Of meanness. And it brings out the worst kind of pack mentality among others. It is so ugly. I would hate to ever be that ugly.

Of course there are many occasions when being anonymous is absolutely acceptable and even preferable. There are times when knowing one’s real identity could be dangerous / embarrassing etc. Although I am very open and public, I do understand that many others choose not to be so open. That’s fine. My issue is with the people who spew hatred and ugliness towards others only because they can get away with it. My feeling is that if you feel that strongly about something, stand up and say it openly. Be proud of what you believe in.

The hate comments, the slander and hate sites, the vicious attacks, belittling other people …… is that how you think it should be done?

I wonder…. do these people have a conscience? Do you think they feel even slightly guilty about the distress they cause others? I can’t believe that they don’t. I know I am naïve, but I just find it impossible to believe that anyone could be so hateful to others and not feel at least a bit bad.

But then, if they don’t feel bad, let me ask this question: if it was done to them, would they feel hurt or upset? And if they still feel their behaviour is justifiable, let me ask another question: if someone had to do what you did to your daughter or son, how would you feel about it then?

I was disappointed to see how on the forum I mentioned, a group of regular posters hid behind anonymity to attack a fellow regular poster (admin). How the pack mentality came out when they realized they could get away with it. That’s not on. Really not on. This ugly veiled cloak of anonymity has facilitated a free-for-all vicious attack from people who don’t have the guts to stand and openly say what they really think. What a pity. And to think that it is supposed to be a support forum.

Are you proud of yourself for making that woman feel shit about herself? Are you? Was it necessary to attack her? Even if you believe she is an asshole / wrong / whatever, do you really think you did the right thing? I don’t know. I don’t think being anonymous excuses you from basic human decency. I think you should be ashamed of yourself actually. I think you acted like a bunch of bullies.

I see it all the time. Find a victim, someone who either rubs you up the wrong way, or does something that doesn’t fit into your definition of acceptable. Maybe even someone who you are a little jealous of, although you would never admit it, and publicly rip her to shreds while hiding behind your anonymity. Then sit back and watch while your fellow mean spirited cowards join in the feeding frenzy. Like a pack of hyenas picking at the bones of the befallen pray, cackling your evil laugh and congratulating yourself at yet another conquest. A hollow victory meant to inflate sense of self worth. Sad.

I find it very hard to understand. But mostly, I find it really sad that people like that exist out there.

CLEANING UP THE WORLD, ONE PSYCHOPATH AT AT A TIME.......

~~~~~

The world is a dangerous place, not only because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. - Albert Einstein

Mike McGrannahan is a psychopath... a vile, heinous monster... who murdered my beloved dog, BEN... and tried to murder me twice... and who made my life a living Hell for years... and now i intend to try to return the favor...we cannot allow these demons to destroy out lives, then stand silently by while they go on to victimize another and another and another...

Psychopaths work by stealth... by not being known... the best way to hurt a Psychopath is to make them KNOWN for what they are... i am winning my war against the psychpath Mike McGrannahan... when his name is googled, his profile on DatingPsychos is the first thing that pops up... i'm sure this has caused him considerable trouble, as potential employers will often google an applicant's name...

i know i've caused him some problems because of an email i recently received from the elusive psychopath...

Is this still your email address? I'm supposed to be a smart guy even though I've dumbed myself down a bit over the years. I've watched a lot of TV and I've watched you and I still can't understand why a person does intentional harm to another human being.

booooooo hoooooooo... pretty crybaby bullshit coming from a PSYCHOPATH who murdered one of my dogs, threatened the lives of the others daily, tried to murder me, pillaged and plundered me, abused me mercilessly for years, ran my business into the ground and told me every day 'when i'm through with you, you'll have nothing, bitch' ...boooooooo hoooooooo ...someone call this piece of shit a WHAAAAAAAMBULANCE...

ANNOUNCING: NEW BLOG....

i know that some of you have already been sent links to my new project... a blog devoted entirely to BinkStink and other abusive pieces of crap just like her... who prey upon and further victimize abuse victims...

which will free up more space here for other issues... i want to thank everyone for all the views my new blog has gotten already, even though it is still under construction!!. it will soon be completely finished.. and when it is, i will post a link to it here... i have been working feverishlyon the new blog... but as you know...

someone with severe PTSD such as mine isn't really capable of putting enough thoughts together to build or maintain such a professional looking blog.... RIGHT, DIAGNOSTICIAN BINKSTINK?

A person who is "disabled" because of their "complex PTSD" cannot manage to string enough thoughts together to set up a blog such as yours

guess we'll soon see... huh BinkStink?.. :)

HUNGRY.....

as those of you who have been reading my blog know... Tallulah and company with all their denial and delusion and magical thinking... don't believe anyone is poor or cold or unemployed or HUNGRY in this country... unless of course, it was their NEXT RIGHT CHOICE...

~

moronic bitches... the Missouri Food Bank Association released a study yesterday on HUNGER in Missouri (where my pets and i EXIST)... it was SHOCKING.... so shocking that it actually made the news!!! YES!!. even surpassing lies about the economy picking up and the Toyota debacle... by the way, bitches... i hope you ALL own a late model Corolla, and are magically thinking the piece of shit will MAKE THE NEXT RIGHT STOP!!! and i'm hoping it will choose OTHERWISE!!....

"The study paints a stark picture of who is hungry in Missouri and the reality these people face" MFBA director Scott Baker said. "Hunger is an increasingly pervasive problem in Missouri. It knows no racial, geographic or demographic boundaries."

hmmmm... well... i'm sure that WHOEVER we are... we're just a bunch of 'lazy ignorant poor', right Tallulah??? we're just not TRYING HARD ENOUGH... JUST NOT MAKING THE NEXT RIGHT CHOICE!!!

here's what the study had to say about the NEXT RIGHT CHOICE OF THESE PEOPLE!!!

VERY DIFFICULT CHOICES FOR THOSE STRUGGLING WITH HUNGER:

48% have to CHOOSE between having food or paying utlities!

36% have to CHOOSE between having food or paying their rent or mortgage!!

37% have to CHOOSE between having food or paying for medical care or medications!

why, those IGNORANT LAZY POOR!!! HOW DARE THEY!!. HOW DARE THEY WANT TO HAVE A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS OR UTILITIES!!. WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE???!! RIGHT, TALLULAH????

BUT LOOK!!. LOOK, YOU HATEFUL, SELFISH, ASININE BITCH!!! THEY'RE NOT QUITE AS IGNORANT AND LAZY AS YOU LIKE TO MAKE THEM OUT TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Six food banks and over 1,000 agencies (pantries, shelters and kitchens) make upthe MFBA network. This network provides food for a broad cross section of households. Key characteristics include:

~

39% of the members of households are children under 18 years old

10% of the members of households are children age 0 to 5 years old

66% percent of clients are non-Hispanic White, 27% are non-Hispanic Black, and 4% are Hispanic

42% of the households include at LEAST ONE EMPLOYED ADULT.

~

This growing problem can only be solved by acknowledging the situation and uniting to confront it head on.," Scott Baker said. "Attitude is imperative if we are to address a dilemma of this magnitude."

~

the entire suvey can be read online at www.feedingmissouri.org

well... GOOD LUCK, Scott!!. because as long as snide, sanctimonious, magical thinking, BLAMING BITCHES like Tallulah are around... the ATTITUDE will be surly... .and the ACKNOWLEDGMENT will be as minimal as possible!!

being HUNGRY is not fun... i've gone HUNGRY... LOTS OF TIMES ... for years the psychopath's favorite form of abuse was ECONOMIC... he wouldn't work... he is IGNORANT AND LAZY, Tallulah... although you find him so ATTRACTIVE....HE is ignorant and lazy and abusive... and i'd work three jobs... and still go HUNGRY... and i have never gotten over it... being HUNGRY... when i started making decent money... i started HOARDING food... because he'd made me go hungry before... and my plan was to not let it happen again... so i HOARDED food... in my beautiful cedar home in an exclusive neighborhood...

~

and now... because of the psychopath... i'm HUNGRY again... i put my pets first... i always have and i always will... i'm getting 200 dollars a month in food stamps... and i spend almost every nickel of it on them... i stand in grocery stores... weeping... i look at baby greens... LONG for a salad... but i don't buy it... instead i buy something for the dogs and cats... i carefully read the sale ads... looking for the cheapest prices... looking to stretch that 200 dollars... i cannot tell you how many times i've picked up a 50 cent can of soup... only to set it back down... because 50 cents will buy a loaf of cheap bread for the dogs...

~

and i am NOT IGNORANT OR LAZY... i am beaten and battered and HOPELESS... i am a beaten battered abused woman... USED ABUSED AND ABANDONED by a criminal psychopath... left with the responsibility of a FAMILY to care for... and NO MEANS TO DO IT!!. if i were to find a crappy minimum wage job... my food stamps would be taken from me... and i'd still be in the SAME SHAPE... HUNGRY... it would always come down to feed my pets... or feed myself... and there would never be enough for ANY OF US... we will ALL always be HUNGRY...

~

and that's REALITY... a REALITY that i am tired of LIVING in...

~

it's not lost on me... all the ATTACKS launched on me by those bitches... but NEVER EVER is he made mention of ... the PSYCHOPATH or his behavior is never mentioned... i am attacked for my poverty... but no one ever attacks the MONSTER who caused my poverty!!.

WHY IS THAT??????... WHY ARE MY PETS AND I ATTACKED AND DERIDED AND CHIDED AND DESPISED FOR BEING HUNGRY... WHILE THE PSYCHOPATH WHO DESTROYED OUR LIVES AND DROVE US TO THIS POINT IS FOUND ATTRACTIVE???...
