Early Sheldon was an eclectic, ballsy, ribald, tractor-riding punch line waiting to be unleashed. And whether it was the Crystal Palace or a TBI, the later version was just angry and looking for a fight. This bully pit will do that to a person, and the dog pack mentality here is to pile on and go for the kill. That's why the Sisterhood + Dave and the 3 Trolls comprise one of the least appealing alliances ever in this near-dead corner of the interwebs. And to think it coalesced and remains viable in a forum dedicated to the one thing all men and women should share with joy (food) is the sad indictment of failed human nature. GooGoo was right to pull the plug on uselessnet (and I rarely praise them) because all it is now is a school cafeteria for hateful, aging dead-enders to vent their spleen upon others. The pseudo-morality of continuing to pillory Kuthe for his personal proclivities (as if they hold some ethical high ground over him) sickens me to my core. How could this be the same group that once had Janet Wilder, Wayne Boatwright, Dave Bugg, Ophelia, SF, Omelete, Julie Bove and maybe a dozen other decent if peculiar participants at one time. Now distilled back to half a dozen truly hateful and damaged old women + Dave and the 3 Trolls. Like the basket of apples, a few rotten ones ruin all. You're generous to a fault with your recipes and your love of 'dat rock' - and that is an act of conscious giving, not some petty charade to set up the next mark. Welp, that's enough repetition for me this round, it's not like my insights will ever wash away their hatred, so entrenched it is, and so artfully do the 3 trolls keep the pot on simmer. That their pretense is payback of some stripe seems to be sublimated to simple feeding off confliction. The parasite as host or some such mash-up. 🦟 ☣️ 🦟
