Only a narcissist would imagine every single little thing is about THEM.

Itâs not the content of your riddle itâs the fact that you are making riddles in a thread about a shooting where you know the victim is reading the comments because they were here 24 hours earlier.
Thatâs the part I find wrong.

Itâs not a Riddle. Itâs a poem.
And it cites the interesting phenomenon where this was so active 2 nights ago but last night was like crickets.

Look I get where you are coming from, I really do. I just think out of everything that has occurred on all of the threads on this topic, that was probably the absolute least-cruel thing Iâve seen. It wasnât even actually about the topic, it was quite obviously just a âwow this topic was bumping the other night and now itâs crickets lolzâ comment. Thatâs why it comes across as absurd that you picked THIS to suddenly get upset about.

Youâre right I shouldnât have picked just that one but the entire tone of all these threads, especially when she comes on, is gross. The snark, the mocking, the antagonizing, and tagging her, quoting her, trying to point out the lies and inconsistencies⊠itâs not your place, there will be a trial. This is just wrong.
How about all of those eventing threads where someone dies and everyone speculates as to what happened until a member of the family comes on the thread? Immediately everyone stops and doesnât engage or try to ask questions trying to figure out what happened because it would be inappropriate and insensitive.
Thatâs whatâs going on here. The poems, the questions, the tagging, the quoting, the speculation is all inappropriate and insensitive when you KNOW the victim is here reading it all.

There are many other âvictimsâ in this situation - not just the one who posts here.
As others have said these threads would die if she (and now suspended YD) would simply stop the provocation. If I understood correctly from somewhere(?) long ago there were 9 - 15 people on the property that day and only one has ever posted on these threads (edit added) to my knowledge.

Thatâs what happens when you insult people, tell them youâre taking them to court because you lied about getting a subpoena and you threaten to attach their home and farm and commit libel stating they threatened to assault you.
Feel free to block me but Iâm going to say what Iâm going to say whether you like it or not. As long as I obey the rules, which I try to unless i didnât know a rule, Iâm good.
Iâm not responsible for anyone elseâs posts. Just mine.

So I guess the second half of your sentence makes it OK for anyone that LK has hurt to say whatever they want.
Or is there a scale for that too? A level of hurt where you are not allowed to respond?
When are outsiders allowed to stick up for those who are not able to stick up for themselves (like the children involved here)?
I find it repulsive that anyone would defend someone who would treat children the way these people have treated children (as described in the court documents copy and pasted into the other thread) and to me those children need people to stand up for them.

We have a few. While I admit to having posted directly âatâ posters here, I have also posted general comments, and had someone out of the blue claim that I was aiming it at them. Huh? Really? Nope! YOU are not MY hobby!

General comment.
I remember when this first happened two years ago. At first everyone was OMG a girl got shot. Then LK started messaging from her hospital bed, pretty incoherent. People still wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt because she would have been on pain killers and opioids. Then she was up and out and about and still posting these incoherent and troubling messages. Then other people like GJ and Haleybot shared their past experiences (both of tgem are off COTH now) and folks started digging up past charges against LK.
The picture that emerged was of someone that was not employed, engaged in serial conflict, and had various claims about physical violence, SM harassment, dodging summons, etc. As LK states none of the charges stuck. But most people get through life with no charges of this sort against them ever.
Over the past 2 years, while fully recovered, LKâs communication style has continued combatitive, self contradictory, confusing, and most recently actually threatening in PM. Whenever the threads have quietened down and we pretty much forgot about this little drama under the much bigger dramas of fire, flood, plague, locusts, Trump, BLM, etc, then LK would launch into a sudden burst of posting that usually made no sense at all.
So LK has created an online persona that has lost her the respect of almost all COTH members. She has continually restarted threads, including ones that were locked but got unlocked during the platform upgrades.
LK has been her own worst enemy on this site. I mean, if I read her posts in the absence of any background or conversation I would reach the same conclusion about her. If I come across a person on FB that has anything like this style or tone, I avoid or even block pre-emptively.
Now lots of people who are problematic IRL come on COTH or FB seeking âadviceâ or commiseration or reassurance and you canât always tell from their posts until more information comes out or the trainer etc they are complaining about comes on to give the other side.
These folks, if you just read their posts, you would totally believe them for quite some time. Thereâs not always a huge giveaway in the language and style.
This makes LKâs posts rather unique. The other poster I remember that rang the same kind of warning bells for me right away was SW from DH. The coming right in swinging with confused boasts and threats, the attempts at doxxing, the tone deafness to what kinds of language would make people take your side.

No one said you had to lie down. I supported you when you called out her crummy behavior too. And FWIW, Iâve also been a victim of cyber stalking and bullying on this site so I completely empathize with you on how violated it makes you feel. HOWEVER, wrong is wrong. I donât mock and taunt the people on this site whoâve bullied me and those people didnât get shot twice in the chest.

Thatâs on her. Self control is a wonderful thing.

But my post was not mocking her or even referring to her in any way. It was just a comment that in one day it went from crazy to crickets. Please donât burden me with the responsibility of judgment of the thousands of posts on numerous strings.
And I appreciate your support in the past but Iâm just not getting this.
So letâs put this aside. Think as you will as I will as well.

Self control is a privilege. If I got shot twice and then had an entire Internet forum nearly blaming me for the most traumatic experience of my life, I wouldnât have self control. I already have terrible anxiety if you added the trauma of getting shot, my behavior on these forums would be real [edit] too.
If you can walk, good for you. Maybe she canât, maybe sheâs still coping, maybe sheâs still working through this.
