represent her true colors, and her actual agenda---after astonishing amounts of time setting context, feigning sincerity and substantive engagement on issues, all with the aid of a shape-shifting Greek chorus of alternics and surrogates maintained by Laurie and her similarly-minded Fray friends (what a surprise to see Lunesta log in after LAM really started fulminating desperately)----finally, we see that agenda being eternally nasty, personal, grudge-holding one-upmanship directed at a particular group of hated posters, most of whom, Urq is correct, are women. LAM will post a thousand words of pap just to create cover for one dig or tactic at Cat or Topazz's or another's expense. Whatever she complains of, or laughs at others for saying or doing, she is doing herself in spades.

The Greek chorus nics tend to have similar features nonetheless besides anti-Obama sentiments (where's "jeqal" been of late?), even the ones whose primary function is to downrate en masse one way or another. Look at the MBTU of your downrater here, "Jeremy Swiss"---his primary posting history consists of putting MaryAnn on Poems Fray down for being a bad "passive-aggressive" leader over there. What a shock. And from "Patcgm"'s MBTU, though he's ostensibly a sporadic "new" poster, I see managed to present himself confidentially to Lunesta and LaurieAnn in their subthread of Bite's long "Bill Clinton is spot on...." thread a while back. "Pat" noted insightfully, "Could it be bite-o-the-week has matured beyond the smarmy crowd who seems hell bent on dragging her back down? I am impressed". One fast learner, That Pat!
