(204,666 posts)I grew up in Saratoga, where the racetrack is a huge draw in August. The horses are beautiful, loved to go to see them, and the city certainly benefits from unbelievable influx of tourism, but it also brings a very undesirable element to town, with all that money exchanging hands. When we were kids, my mother didn't worry all that much about me, but during August she wouldn't let my little brother go around the block...

(204,666 posts)I don't get it, but I know that it exists.

(204,666 posts)But it's far from worth it. There are more than enough of them already, and they attract exactly the wrong people.

I just said hello to library girl.
Rhiannon12866
(204,666 posts)And did she swear at you? She gives herself away every single time because she always turns nasty...
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)I just said high to her but she does hate me.
Rhiannon12866
(204,666 posts)She must be a pretty miserable person, though not nearly as scary as he-who-must-not-be-named...

(204,666 posts)She was already well known here when I was a mod...
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)She doesn't respond to me as much as she used to.
Rhiannon12866
(204,666 posts)She often uses obvious names, but if she gets a post or two in, she can't help getting nasty and that trips her up every time...

(204,666 posts)She just can't seem to manage to keep her temper in check.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)But they are gone now.
Rhiannon12866
(204,666 posts)And I know who the other one is, definitely someone with a problem.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)I can spot him very easily.
Rhiannon12866
(204,666 posts)There is something really wrong there.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Rhiannon12866
(204,666 posts)Like he can't help himself. I think he needs some kind of professional help that he's not going to find here...
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)But we hsve others that are worse. I encounter him because he shows up where I post.
Rhiannon12866
(204,666 posts)I often wonder why our repeat offenders can't seem to help repeating the same destructive behaviors...
