*** Set by ShandaLear on Mon Dec 26 03:00:07
<Anguisette> got my trisha jacobs newsletter today and nearly spewed coffee on my monitor.
<DannyBoi> Did you see that? The thing on her website with all the yadda yadda's?
<Skully> It was actually blah blahs.
<DannyBoi> Right, blah blahs.
<ShandaLear> Picked that up while flipping through Shrunk and White, I wonder? Very pithy phrase.
<DamonSadi> For a "good writer" she has some astonishingly bad grammar habits.
<Anguisette> here's what I don't get... she quotes people and responds the what they have said in a completely context-inappropriate way, almost as though she didn't understand what was said
<RdSallyRd> Not as though. She really doesn't understand. If you read through the site, she REALLY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.
<ShandaLear> ummmmm
<RdSallyRd> ?? yeah ??
<ShandaLear> Some of that is, yeah, very low IQ and whatever her disability is. Some of it is that she has gone so delusional she thinks reacting to what she WANTS to have been said will actually change how people understand it. Convoluted sentence, but do you see what I mean?
<RdSallyRd> Is anyone that dumb?
<ShandaLear> you mean her, or does she think anyone is dumb enough to fall for that bad logical syndrome? lol
<RdSallyRd> I meant her but actually both now that you phrase it that way. LOL
<DamonSadi> It's not a nice thing to say, but since it's her...
<DannyBoi> LMAO
<DamonSadi> Her need to control everything-- the stories, the sources, everything-- is pathological, but we were talking about this with the guys who contacted the former lawyer, and everyone who has had personal contact with her says they definitely saw a clear mental illness in the behavior. Not retardation but maybe bipolar disorder.
<Skully> I was going to say bipolar or manic.
<DamonSadi> yeah, without getting too elaborate or wasting too much time, that's how it appears
<DannyBoi> weird you say that. before the blah blah incident I noticed she responded to somebody in all caps in this total spaz out as if they had attacked her family, when judging by her own quoting of what was said the over-reaction was off the hook
<ShandaLear> wait, where was that?
<Skully> I think I know what he's talking about. Somebody said "your parents must be proud" and she did this giant rant about people attacking her parents.
<ShandaLear> That sounds exactly like the old forum posts she did, always on a tangeant that was way, way off the actual topic and subject frame.
<Skully> I noticed that, too, Dan
<Anguisette> That was my reaction to the blah blah thing. It was almost as if she had poor reading comprehension.
<DamonSadi> I think it's safe to say that's accurate, but it's a much broader issue.
<RdSallyRd> Right. Like she's a f***in fruitcake.
<ShandaLear> Just in time for the holidays...
<DamonSadi> Yes, just as beloved, as well.
<Anguisette> LMAO! Yep, the ever so dreaded loaf of unwelcomeness. LOL
*** NattyKat has joined #scepticstank
<NattyKat> Wuzzup ma peeps?
<Anguisette> NAAATTTTYYYYY!
<ShandaLear> Hey Nat Kat how's you, sugar?
<NattyKat> SHANDA! OMG can I just say how much fun I had with you guys?
<DannyBoi> heyyyy there was a hookup and I missed it?
<DamonSadi> We got together at Barnes and Noble. Actually, Chrissy had Thanksgiving with NK and her hubbie. I couldn't make it.
<NattyKat> Ahmed, Jim says hey.
<DamonSadi> Hey back. Was great seeing you both. :-)
<NattyKat> So what are we talking about tonight?
<Anguisette> Most recently, trish-b**ch jacobs.
<NattyKat> hisss, booo, spit!
<DamonSadi> LOL
<NattyKat> I saw in the newsletter that she posted some incoherent ramblings. I didn't bother to read them but somebody emailed me`` was it you, Mark? She was blaming the whole thing on Chrissy.
<ShandaLear> I'll take credit. : þ~
<Skully> It was me, and yes, she did. Funny when you think about it.
<DamonSadi> Since I intend to post this log just for fun, how many people are on the trisha jacobs mailing list now?
<Skully> Last count over three dozen, but that was November. If everybody HAD kicked in for the domain like they wanted we would have had way too much money. Ironic.
<Anguisette> that whole thing about website dates was odd
<Skully> I think, because SHE thinks the first website she used/made to create trouble that others were aware of was the current one. Our first encounter with her was back in the Austin days.
<RdSallyRd> Wait-- Austin??
*Skully* Waves over at Deer Park
<RdSallyRd> holy crap I am so glad she had to run away to Belgium because of terrorists trying to target NDN activists
<Skully> LOL @ terrorists/activists The only activism she's ever been involved with is hyperactivism of the imagination. It makes for funny reading, though. The only reason I, and a lot of tankers were not worried about the linkovers (to ours, not hers) was we're kind of teflon. I actually asked a few people who had taken a lot of her crap to remain anonymous when they would have shouted out.
<RdSallyRd> why, hon?
<ShandaLear> some of them don't need a rehashing/bashing. Think about Twylah's family. Bad enough they lost her.
<Anguisette> I saw the little comment she made about that on her piece of crap page. A dead woman!!!
<Skully> Yeah, every Indian I know attacks the elderly, because we're really big on disrespecting our old ones. We like to speak ill of the dead, too. It's how I can tell if my Indian friends are "real."
<NattyKat> Sorry, I was reading. Hey, Shan?
<ShandaLear> yep?
<NattyKat> Way back when she sent out all those emails on you did you have one single person believe her?
<ShandaLear> not from emails, no. A few people saw posts in forums and got on the bandwagon, but several of those apologized later. Some of them are actually collective members now, btw. My then-editor laughed at her and a few others reported the email to her provider or theirs. I won't say I had NO non-believers, but none that mattered bought it.
<Skully> Everyone seems to say that.
<NattyKat> That's what I was sort of getting at. why do it if it doesn't work?
<ShandaLear> fanatics aren't about the results, hon, they're about the rage.
<DamonSadi> I was just about to say that or something like it. Since somebody brought up terrorists, it's an interesting similarity. Fanatic is a good word. The motive isn't based in logic, but in hatred of something the person/s fiercely envy and fear subconsciously. Because delusion is a big part of it, the lies can keep getting bigger. First it's "you're not Indian." Then it's "you are selling religion." Eventually, when everyone laughs at her nonsense, it's "and you kill babies and eat kitties."
<ShandaLear> ROFL that's so sick!
<DamonSadi> Yes, but pretty much accurate. It also explains the echoback syndrome. I want to be what you are, so I will accuse you of my own sins and attack you from a created (and illusional) place of superiority.
<Skully> When we talked to the former lawyer he said something like that she never, ever said or did or acted in any way that was positive. Nothing was ever GOOD. The up side of that is no matter how sad she is in the big picture nobody is going to pity her.
<ShandaLear> No, you sort of can't.
<Anguisette> god, Aji, that's almost Bin Laden-ish. :(
<DamonSadi> the silver lining is, nobody listens or credits her, either
<NattyKat> Man, what will that chick do when she runs out of countries that will welcome her and people that will tolerate her?
<DannyBoi> dunno, but I can't wait to find out!
