Two things I've noticed about OP. First, she only responds to those who agitate her. She has yet to acknowledge anyone who provided help, or even stood up for her. She is definitely baiting certain members for an argument.
I was shocked by this, CC. I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that I absolutely did not "undermine" myself to inflame a thread! That was genuinely offensive, b/c I was letting LisaSTL know in that situation that I myself had made some mistakes in the past that were unintentional and was not saying that I was "perfect" or anything like that. I'm very surprised you took it that way. Since you mentioned thinking that I did this another time, I wouldn't mind you letting me know where it was? I'm genuinely shocked by that and that you (or anyone) would have conceived of that. I assure you, again, that no such intentions were had on my part.@ wrote:
Second, she will undermine herself to further inflame a thread. In the "cheating" thread, her starting premise was that 2 bites was too little and cheated the client. Then halfway through, she slips in that she submitted a report in which she didn't even eat the burger, she gave it to her father and used his comments for her report [www.mysteryshopforum.com]. I'm sure that tidbit was just an effort to keep the diatribe going and rile people up since what she did was completely unacceptable. She did something similar in other threads, but I didn't bother to call her on it at the time.
Chris, this is a thing that I've been beyond curious about and frustrated about.@ wrote:

Thank you for the kind last line, spicy1. If I'm "worthy" it is only due to God's grace! Everyone is a flawed person in some way, yet with God's help we can also all improve. I appreciate the uplifting words.@spicy1 wrote:
Listen to me shoptastic! These people, forum members, they aren't talking to you personally.
You......yourself.....your actual person.......they are not talking to you.
They are talking to a random name on a forum.
If they met you in person they would never have the guts to say the things they say.
Most of them get a kick out of hurting other forum members, especially if they can do it in a gang.
You need to understand that you have given them reason by responding to them.
This is all that most of them have left.
bgriffa$$'s parody is only funny to very sad people.
Yes, many people get a kick out of hurting other people
Don't let it be you
You are smart, you are worthy, you are valuable and people care about you!
I can respect that, kathygry. No ill-will, nor offense taken.@kathygry wrote:
Shoptastic, do you feel your posts have made a positive contribution to the forum? I must admit, there are times, when the "Good Old Boys Club" of this forum can be somewhat overbearing, but you managed to insult every single mystery shopper. Not only those who post on here, but all who shop. I think most of us feel our integrity and objectivity are some of the most valuable assets we provide to the end client.
Your long, rambling posts make it difficult to follow your train of thought and I can't help but wonder what your narratives look like!
I will also say that while BG's post COULD be seen as very snarky and in poor taste, it was also really very good!!! It completely mirrored what most of us see in your posts.
I wish you no ill will, but really do not know what you expect and want from the forum members.
I rarely post, but felt the need to speak out.

Were you thinking that a person would be too full after Meal 1 to give an accurate evaluation of Meal 2's food?
If so, that's interesting. I wonder about that.
*skip to the bottom*
Hmmm. I wonder about this dilemma. For sure, anyone can still accurately judge food that's messed up in an obvious way: burned, too salty, raw when it should be cooked, has a hair in it, not hot enough, etc. But what about finer distinctions of tastiness or flavor? Can you really appreciate something the same and accurately when you're already full? If not, then is that unfair for a client who is asking you to evaluate their food? sad smiley
Got me thinking with your post!

I think (can't remember) your comment that you deleted about me being on the evening news was inflaming the situation a bit and that's probably part of the reason I brought up your past needling of me. Making the comment you did to me in the emotional state that I was in seemed particularly inappropriate.@MSNinja wrote:

just returned after month of moving & nothing changed w op. it looks like she got worse. is there a tower w her nsme on it/@CoffeeQueen wrote:
The OP attacks the honesty and integrity of every shopper in this forum, in nearly every thread. Yes, it's done in a very sly manner, but it is most certainly done. She constantly questions whether accepted and common mystery shopping practices are unfair or cheating. Those of us who prize and care for our integrity are deeply offended. We are fighting back in the only way left to us... to demonstrate the absurdity of her conclusions via silly threads. I reported her last thread which actually uses the word "cheating" in the thread title. The thread remains, and that is fine if the moderators don't agree with me. But I am even more concerned now,as she is passively aggressively talking about how "angry" she is in this thread and how she doesn't know what to do with the anger. We are not psychiatrists here and if this out of control, passive aggressive bully, is not going to be reigned in then I may have to take a leave of absence.
changed her mind? i think her mind needs outsde help. like someone send forum not phsychiatry office.@CoffeeQueen wrote:
Yes. A thread with "Cheating" in the title that explicity says that shoppers who don't eat enough of their food are cheating the client is a thread that is designed for a flame war. And here it is. She will say she just wanted a discussion and changed her mind. Oh yeah, after 3 days of us defending our integrity she finally changes her mind. Amazing.

I am not afraid to say it publicly. I was accused of a personal insult for suggesting he/she stick with hobby shopping. Nonsense threads are only irritating. Most of those were designed with only one thing in mind, trolling.

A big theme for me in this thread and elsewhere is respect and not being disrspectful to others. That's why I also brought up previous times that you called me a food blogger in the past, MSNinja, when I was talking about your humor. I always felt it was part humor and part borderline taunting me. You also made that thread once with a title that was obviously an attempt to parody/mock me.
I never took huge offense to those things, because I thought it was partly good-natured too. My point was that you can sometimes cross the line (with me and others on the forum), but that you also have a good sense of humor when you're not trying to "mess" with others.

i took your advice. have fun.@bgriffin wrote:
Unfortunately no one knows how to unplug her network cable remotely.
I do think this is thread is a fantastic idea though! She is free to type up 10,000 word posts and get all upset and she ignores the rest of the forum. We can all just take turns dropping in and typing 1 line responses. That's all it takes to elicit 10 pages of posts. She gets a conversation to monopolize and we get a discussion that isn't disrupted!
