Michael/ Lauren civil trial update February 9

[Angela_Freda]

Or since he’s from NY, maybe MB wasn’t aware being licensed was even required. I had no idea other states required licensing, until after my own home builder pooped the bed.

And if LK and JK and RG stated RG was licensed, it suggested proficiency, as it would to me… but didn’t really alert him to the fact that its required in NJ.

I said I would never self identify as a member of a mob and act like I’m proud of mob membership by self identifying.

Do you consider yourself a member of the EIM, VHM? Are you proud of your association with @eggbutt, @Knights_Mom, @Sdel, and @trubandloki?

I do participate on these threads, as I find the discussion and the ongoing case very interesting.

I enjoy my interactions with MANY posters on COTH. There are many interesting and intelligent folks who post on these forums.

What about you? Are you “proud” of your posts on these forums? You’ve adopted a very confrontational and combative style lately. It seems to me like you are stressed about these threads, and really struggling with the discussion.

Interesting. You enjoy your interactions with “many posters” on COTH but decline to state whether you are proud of your association with the particular posters I asked about. Ouch.

You are so not reading again!

Dang, with talents like that I can’t wait for MB to be teaching again. I am going to sign up jiffy quick so he can teach me how to piaffe like NP.

[erinmeri]

Did I miss the part where @Virginia_Horse_Mom (or anyone other than @CurrentlyHorseless ) stated they had an “association” (or any sort of allegiance) with another poster or posters? Aside from IM’s proclaimed EIM, that is. Or is that just an attempt at being inflammatory?

Regardless, I think it is awfully inappropriate insinuate that any such “association” is negative. It’s disgusting that CH listed off posters who challenge them and their statements that appear erroneous as though they are people who someone should be ashamed to associate with. Just really low class.

[I did catch that CH listed off their favorites, including one banned poster whose behavior I certainly wouldn’t be proud of associating myself with… which may explain some things about the above tangent.]

Well, I think the word “association” is a bit weird. It seems like you are implying that their is some sort of conspiracy amongst us going on.

Since that is not the case, I decided to sidestep that.

But in general, I am quite comfortable with the fact that I a seem to see eye to eye about this case with other posters who:

1. Don’t have long arrest records for things like aggravated assault and burglary
2. Don’t have lengthy histories of opioid addiction and dependence
3. Don’t have social media profiles that most of civilized society consider indicative of a pathological personality disorder
4. Are not considered pariahs by most of the Dressage community on the entire East Coast of the US
5. Actually have some accomplishments to speak of when it comes to education and professional careers

How about you? Are you proud of your associations?

You acknowledge that you consider yourself part of a self proclaimed mob (although have a problem with being referred to as elderly), and you find the word “association” weird? If you include her COTH postings as part of their SM profiles, I’m surprised you say you see eye to eye with @eggbutt, and the others I mentioned. Maybe you don’t. Feel free to clarify.

I satisfy all your criteria 1 to 5. Every one. You hardly see eye to eye with me.

Yes, I am proud of being lumped in with the few people in the minority like SM and Hut-Ho.

Michael is a man with many talents so if anyone can shoot themselves with a totally broken arm, a traumatic brain injury, a groin chewed to bits and being unconscious, Michael can, right?

Don’t forget, empty gun. Yes, I know, an extra clip magically appeared. But still, he would have had to reload, while unconscious, with a mangled arm, TBI, and a mauled groin.

LOL. Found in the shooter’s pocket is “magically appearing”.

You must have forgotten the part where the first officer that searched Michael, who was wearing dockers type shorts, so not something bulky and easy to hide lots of things in, did not find this large magazine on him.

LOL. Another mob member who can detect “tells”.

Tell me @DownYonder, what does my “tell” tell you?

LOL.

I thought you frowned upon people who giggled and made jokes about the mob?

I said I would never self identify as a member of a mob and act like I’m proud of mob membership by self identifying.

Do you consider yourself a member of the EIM, VHM? Are you proud of your association with @eggbutt, @Knights_Mom, @Sdel, and @trubandloki?

Stop!!! I’m dying @CurrentlyHorseless OMG I’m crying!!

Crying because VHM sidestepped saying she was proud of her association with you?

I guess she’ll have to claim she’s proud of the association at this point.

I’m always a proud force of one. Scared?

I am sorry @Maria, but I assume that when it comes to dressage, Michael likely expects you to put the miles in and learn stuff, so he will not use his super powers to allow you to hump your horse the way NP does.
I have no doubt you will learn mad dressage skills though.

[CindyB59]

Pure stupidity is being double downed on.

As hard as it is, don’t take the bait. It’s an attempt to get someone to lose it, which will then get the thread closed.

Tsk tsk.

They aren’t a self proclaimed mob. Your associate, IM declared that they were an Elderly Illegal Mob.

They simply dealt with his insult with a heaping dose of humor and took the label, and turned it into a cheeky joke.

As for whether or not the numbers on my list apply to you… I don’t really know. I’ll have to take your word for it. But… in addition to SM and Hut-Ho…

You clearly see eye to eye with Lollypop herself about much of this case.

You do realize that criteria 1-5 don’t apply to her… right? Regardless of her many claims about having great accomplishments in life… there isn’t much evidence of anything productive other than a long arrest record, and to her credit, she has testified to her own addiction issues.

I will give you one thing… your loyalty and steadfast defense of Lollypop is impressive. And inexplicable. But that’s ok - you do you.

@Knights_Mom

I truly am in The Mob if I have “Associates”. You can refer to us by our mob names. I’m Knights The Hooverator Mom because I vacuum up false legal claims

Yes. Here is a handy dandy org chart I found.

I believe you fit in at the “Capo” level. As a Lieutenant, I fall under the “Soldier” level. That makes me one step up from an Associate.

If I keep on working hard at this thing, I too might make “Capo” one day.

They aren’t a self proclaimed mob. Your associate, IM declared that they were an Elderly Illegal Mob.

One would think that someone who boasts Jonathan Kanarek (@Inigo-montoya) as their favorite poster, who has been reminded of this fact more than once in this very thread, would realize this tid-bit by now. And… knowing that this title came from their absolute favorite poster would also find it something positive.

Do you think this is a time where they are not agreeing with their absolute favorite poster?
< gasp >

[Jealoushe]

How many men do you encounter routinely? I’m single and work among mostly men, so yeah, I’m around a lot of men. I’m sure the age has something to do with it too.

Consider yourself sheltered in the world of men who leech off women. These aren’t unemployed men either. More common than you think.

[trubandloki]

@Maria

NP will give you all the free clinics you want. Then you can learn to hump away.

[trubandloki]

I admit that I am too lazy to count the number of men in the office I work in. Lots of them.
The barn owner is male too.
Farrier is male.
Friends have husbands.
Can we just say lots.

The men at work are all different ages.

[Maria]

[trubandloki]

And now I wonder @Virginia_Horse_Mom, if the title of EIM is so offensive and should be thought of as horrible, which is what is being implied, shouldn’t they take that up with @Inigo-montoya, who labelled everyone that? How can they blame the labelled people for the label given by someone they call their favorite?
