Well, nothing lasts forever.

But it does go on their permanent record.

Rexx,

Babs is entertainment. Don't overthink it.

I will also admit that I don't know the full details, but betting through babs seems like a leak.

Also Rexx,

We are all entertainment.

Here at the TwoPlusTwo Casino Hotel & Spa Noone gets perma banned!

This.

Yea but noone deserves to have 10k+ stolen from them, regardless of how ill advised it is to give them money in the first place.

And babs is so manipulative, he uses the fact that people think he’s too stupid to do stuff like this to get people to trust him just long enough to run cons like this. I mean he even had me fooled this week and I’ve been one of the most vocal black knights from the beginning.

I bet there’s soooo much more we dont know about. Who knows how many people he’s conned over the years that arent as savvy as fubster/admo and the 2p2 detectives. His family friend told me some pretty ridiculous stuff a while back. I wonder if that guy’s still lurking, he must be eating this up.

Giving advice in the Bag of Mashed Potato's fitness blog is like going on a date with that fat single mom on OKC that says she hates drama. Except you morons have kept that first date going for years.

Any amount he won would have been too much for Babs to cover, he was freerolling him the whole time. Fub wasn't doing well initially which is why Babs opened his own account.

I think MLYLT *wants* her threads to be nothing but complete idiots like loco who are awed by her mediocre wit.

She has been abundantly clear about that.

Which...fine. Hope she sees a mass exodus now and it just turns into the unwatchable M and loco show.

LKJ,

I am responding to your post here as I don't want my log filled with Babs crap.
Diablo comparing me to Babs is not funny, its mean, and it hurts my feelings. Diablo is manipulating the crowd by doing this.
Babs says things like he wants to do better and change his life in an attempt to manipulate people to feel sorry for him and take the spy glass off of his scamming and thieving which he successfully did with Howard and others.
When I say that I want to change my life, I mean it, I'm not trying to manipulate anyone to not think I'm a scumbag so I can take their money and have them bail me out. I am working everyday to be better and reach my goals. El Diablo going out of his way to say I'm a better person than Babs.....how is this even in question in the first place. And, Diablo saying he wouldn't be involved with any type of normal bets with me; he is purposefully trying to control how I am seen using his reputation here by making statements like this and comparing me to an actual ****ty person.....I guess for his own entertainment.
Why does he and others have a problem with someone being encouraging to me like Loco? Loco knows me irl, knows my personality/who I am, and is doing what he thinks will help me the most.....and it does help me more than anything else! Yet, everyone has such an issue with someone being encouraging to me and then Diablo comes into my log to compare me to an absolute piece of **** person in his attempt to control the participants of my threads perception of me.

I want my log to be something that is helpful to me in reaching my goals. I want feedback and encouragement. Negativity in my thread is NOT helpful and does absolutely nothing for me except bring me down.
My log being "unwatchable" or not entertaining to you is irrelevant.

Rexx, the cops won't do ****. They're going to laugh at everyone involved like a bunch of gambling degenerates. You need a hardcore"Lynch mob" willing to get dirty to get **** done.

I'm not even going to mention in detail some of the extremes that me and some of my closest friends have gone to/are willing to go to, in order to get street justice on people like tbab. They don't respond to law in order. They respond to extremes. Nothing they do is sensible, just like what fuels their urge to do the things that they do.

M,
I think you're wrong to see Diablo as a net negative for you, but I'm not really interested in debating it further. As I said, you've made it plain that you pretty much just want a pointless echo chamber in H&F, and I now hope you get your wish.

LKJ,

What do you think Diablo comparing me to Babs does?

Do you really believe he is trying to help me by doing this?

Do you really think the intent of me saying I am going to change something is equivalent to Babs intent?

Ah, thread's gonna light on fire circa 2016. Eat your heart out golf.

There are just a lot of parallels. Impossible to not notice if you've followed both sagas. Stop being so defensive!

The thing is that no one is keen to explain anything to her anymore.

Rexx:
I’m pretty good at getting dumb people to trip themselves up in their lies (or sometimes simply their bad/dumb reasoning). The more clever they think they are, the easier it is.

Lkj:
M says she wants to change and probably believes she wants to, but just like Babs she’s not fully committed to taking the steps she really needs to change. Notice how they both react similarly when confronted with realities they don’t want to face.

Diablo,
I think she's made some progress that reflects some level of actual change, at least on the health stuff. Obviously she's a hopeless writeoff at this point as an employee.

Certainly there's a bunch of easily-fixed leaks that she refuses to fix also, which will slow her progress, as will silencing people who try to confront her with hard truths. Anyway, her willingness to lash out at those who have bothered to take time to help her is irritating to me, so I'm just done following her log on any sort of regular basis.

El D,

I did not think this was your intent when you made your offer to help Nima. But when I read his post that he was willing to pay a fraction of the Sterling debt, it crossed my mind that it was the first time in pretty much the entire thread that he put any beef behind a statement of his own culpability. I should have recognized exactly then what was going on. But my grift radar is poor.

At this point she's so actively rejecting advice, I'm going to get a good chuckle when she gets fired the same way Babs did: long in coming, well deserved, and yet mysteriously completely unexpected by the target.

Lkj,

Of course she’s made plenty of positive changes. I didn’t say she hadn’t, just that she’s not fully committed to make the changes she needs to achieve her goals. Which is fine, idgaf either way and I don’t get weirdly angry about it like thremp or weirdly frustrated like cit. Never any shortage of threads like that around here.
