Holy shit.

Wow. That column kind of sums it up.

Welcome to the RPG Site, Laurel.

I was reading the debacle timeline one.

Quote from: Lord Hobie;552890When I finally got over that and went to another convention, another nerd raped me. When I tried to report it, the whole convention treated it like a joke.

Where was this convention, in someone's basement?  A convention at a hotel or a meeting hall almost always has their own security staff, and they'll sure as hell try to respond seriously to crimes or they'll get fired and the location get it's ass sued off.  I absolutely hate to be put in the position of questioning someone's veracity about a crime committed against them...but one nerd raped her "for months"?

If this is indeed true, then her and her friend need to, as Ben said, get some serious help and also tell people what conventions they go to.

The thing is, and I know this may sound like sacrilege, but this is nobody's business the thing she is sharing and they should not be spread around thousands of complete strangers. She needs to get help, clearly, and it is none of our business the accuracy of her claims, the extent of her exaggeration, the details of the ordeal itself, the 'proof' of the emails sent to her, or anything else.

The dead horse is beaten.

The only good to come out of this is perhaps proponents of the big purple, like Laurel, (welcome, Laurel) will wander their way here instead in the wake of the outrageous SHIT STORM (pardon my language, I usually don't partake in allcaps) that is the large gangly series of purple threats empowering or disempowering these claims that are no one's business but her own.

Also, a good start would probably be getting off a gaming forum.  It makes no sense for someone like this to be reliving it on a forum for fucks sake.  That is unless it's simply a "Pay attention to me" type deal which could very well be the case.  I have no idea anymore what to think of this woman.  Nothing she does makes any sense.
But again, looking back on Ben's earlier post, if indeed she is a victim of rape (At anytime not just these weird stories she drops into forum posts), common sense doesn't have a lot to do with it. There's some emotional shit going on regardless and the girl needs help.

Shit, come to think of it... I need help.  Anyone have some spare bourbon?

Naturally, GRIM had to get involved.

Sorry. Already drunk it.

Quote from: J Arcane;552964Naturally, GRIM had to get involved.

SIGH. Anything to say about that, GRIM?

Quote from: J Arcane;552964Naturally, GRIM had to get involved.

Wow.

Quote from: J Arcane;552964Naturally, GRIM had to get involved.

I noticed that but didn't want to bring it up and get another smack.  

And it all comes full circle.

Quote from: One Horse Town;552965Sorry. Already drunk it.

Man, that ain't right.

Quote from: Benoist;552948Wow. That column kind of sums it up.

That was so terrible that it crashed my iPad, thrice.

Quote from: Benoist;552948Wow. That column kind of sums it up.

Gabe is the big problem apparently. When he's cornered, he gets vicious and defensive. He does have an anxiety condition, but... that's not really an excuse.

They fucked up. Tycho did mention earlier this year that not even he can control Gabe when he gets going, but stuff like the Dickwolves shirt requires a lot of signing off; someone in their office should have realised "no, this is fucking stupid".

Classy.
