@suzianne said“Parlour trick”...?
You did a similar parlor trick with Grampy Bobby. I had a front row seat as you assassinated his character repeatedly here until others started sharing your manufactured disdain of him. I know he ended up throwing some low blows, but that was after you two started your campaign of terror with him.
“Assassinated his character”...?
“Manufactured disdain”...?
“Campaign of terror”...?
This is brilliant, please carry on!

Looks like your “my beef with divegeester” thread got deleted, due to it being crap.
Hypocrite.
@divegeester saidOkay, I have some time, let's get into this.

Not for you, because I have no reason to think you would believe anything I say. But to counteract your real reason for posting this over and over and over again. You want to paint me as a psycho. I'm not having it.
1. "You claimed to have been visited by angels."
2. "You claimed to have been abducted and held prisoner for two years."
This is my claim, yes. These two go hand-in-hand. The first I cannot say is fact, but I believe it. The second IS a fact. I suffered PTSD over it for another 10+ years. I was 16. For the first 6 months, I was passed around to people this guy knew and repeatedly raped, often after being beaten into submission. For another 18 months, after I had been addicted to heroin and had my will beaten down, I was forced into prostitution. The two male figures I saw came to me at the end of a long, hard road. I was ready to end my life. I was tired of being a victim. I had been kept in a large wire cage in a hidden cellar for most of that time, but I was let out more as a reward for compliance. The house I was being kept in had been modified with no way to get out once it had been locked from the outside. I had found one of his guns and was planning to put it in my mouth and blow my head off with it. The two male figures I saw convinced me to wait, as one put it, "just one more day". I agreed and they were gone. They couldn't have gotten in and they couldn't have gotten out. My dad, who had been looking for me for over a year, rescued me the next day. That they were angels is about the only thing that makes sense to me.
3. "You claimed to have saved “countless lives” using cpr."
4. "You claimed to frequent biker bars, get sexually molested and crash these men through “countless bar tables” using martial arts."
You like to use the word "countless" a lot. I used it maybe once. The first of these is a fact. I was recruited in my late twenties to be part of a group that helps the homeless in downtown Phoenix. We divide up the downtown area into sections, and we have a sense of responsibility for those homeless in our section. The more of us, the less area each has to cover. It's a hard job, but not as hard as being on the streets. Usually, these homeless are in poor health. Many are alcoholic. Some are just old, having been on the streets most of their lives. Sometimes they get attacked, by other homeless and by local teenagers, rousting them for what little they have. Sometimes they die. Sometimes I show up on time, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I've had to give CPR to these people. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. What I said when I related this was that I couldn't remember how many I had saved. I know the number is between 5 and 10. I've been successful in getting most of the people in my section off the streets. Right now, many are in local shelters, hopefully they'll stay there as summer approaches. Some are in "halfway" houses, some now have jobs. I talk about the homeless a lot, but I don't talk a lot about what we do for them in my city.
In school, my sorority's cause was domestic abuse. I try to lookout for women being abused by their "boyfriends" because that's what happened to me. My eventual captor was once my boyfriend. There are some rough bars in Phoenix, especially on the westside. I don't go over there much any more, it is just too dangerous. And yes, I have pulled a few girls out of these bars and yes, left a few tables broken in my wake. More when I was younger. Just last year, in a bar much closer to home, I had to pop a guy in the nose (causing a lot of blood) because he would not leave me alone, first a hand on my knee, then a hand on my thigh (I was in a dress), but finally when he grabbed my breasts I'd had enough. S--t sometimes happens and things get broken. Get over it.
5. "You claimed to play multiple musical instruments, some to live performance standard."
I DO play multiple instruments. They are all woodwind instruments. I minored in music in school. One thing about woodwinds that not many people know is that pretty much, if you know one, you can play them all, with a few adaptations, like a change of embouchure, especially important for flute. The note fingerings are very similar for sax, clarinet and flute, and yes, I can play all these. My main wind instrument is sax, that's what I started on, and I've played in marching band and jazz band in school. My main instrument, however, is piano, and this is the only one I claim live proficiency in. I've done "open mic nights" at some local clubs, and even once sat in on keyboard for an amateur rock band at a bar one night. But as far as I know, I've never been recorded, and I certainly have never been paid, I play mainly for myself. As I have said before, my current project is to play Moonlight Sonata (yes, all three parts) by memory.
6. "You claimed to have been considering buying a 650cc sports motorcycle, when you pave never even ridden one."
The claim is true, I had considered it. The fact is, I had the cart before the horse on this one. I thought I could buy the cycle and then learn to ride it. Turns out, the opposite is the better option. The only other thing I have to say about this is that I gave you a runaround on this because you insisted on treating me over this the way you always treat me - with condescension. And I wasn't having it then, just like I'm not having it now.
NOW do you see why I've not refuted your claims before now? It takes FAR more words to refute something than to say it, unfortunately.
@suzianne saidYes, I’m aware of what your claims about yourself are.
Okay, I have some time, let's get into this.
Not for you, because I have no reason to think you would believe anything I say. But to counteract your real reason for posting this over and over and over again. You want to paint me as a psycho. I'm not having it.

Perhaps now you’ve admitted them, you will apologise for accusing me of “making stuff up” about you?

So, when divegeester basically told you, from his own experience, that "the opposite is the better option", why did you treat it as an "attack" when it was merely good advice?
@suzianne saidOn the contrary it appears that you care about little else other than protecting the imaginary theatrical pantomime of incredulous stories you have peppered your online persona with, from the most lightly pitched challenges, and in the most tub-thumbing victim-laden paranoid rants seen in these forums.
If you don't believe a single word I say, I'm fine with that.
@fmf saidThe exchange you are referring to involved me giving that advice and Suzianne immediately flying into a foaming rage accusing me of misogyny and the like. All her lightweight buddies in Ghost of a Duke’s club fell in line behind her skirts. It was a mess of cliquey skirt-swishing and phoney camaraderie. I left the group on the back of it. I just couldn’t stand it.
