What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I'm new here but couldn't help but notice there are a lot of stupid , for lack of a better word, non-recipes on here. Aren't there better sites for this then on a food site? Just wanted to know if this is the norm on here.

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I totalyy agree with you. There are too many non-food recipes? for a food site. I have not seen much of this until very lately!
knoxcop 2 months, 2 weeks ago said:
RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
You're right. Most of them make perfect sense and have their place, such as ways to get rid of ants in your kitchen, all-natural food related gift ideas, etc...those I have no problem with.
When you get up into stupidland, and tell people to put lotion on their legs after a shower----you're just wasting space and climbing the points ladder with your absurdity.
Excellent point, WT.

Yes, I agree. When I joined this site I thought - "What a cool recipe site - Wonderful recipes, great people." Then all of the sudden people started putting on some pretty gross, absurd - almost to the point of sickening - posts that have nothing to do with cooking. When I am thinking about cooking, I don't want to hear about saving my legs, oily face, roaches, etc. Give us a break people, let's cook not post things that aren't related.

Wait, I'm in the minority, here, I guess...
doesn't bother me at all...I mean, sence(sic) I'm just a dumb ass redneck hick who otherwise wouldn't have known that with both moping(sic) and dish washing that WATER is needed
don't even get me started on needing a detergent, too....
I am so very very thankful for the things I learn on this site...............................
and I think that photo of the dirty cotton ball was necessary to show what dirty means... and apparently dirt makes your face oilly(sic)....so, just wipe it down with some of that alcohol...and if you don't wanna buy none, just have some of your kin whip ya up a batch while they're makin' some of their own moonshine...
***I am NOT a 'gossip' or "talk about folks" kinda person, but I admitted to get an actual belly laugh the other night while reading some of the published "recipes"...a part of me feels horrible FOR laughing, because it's so unlike me to make fun of the less fortunate... but, the rest of me won out figurin' if it's gonna be put out there on a public board, when it's quite obvious there is SOME sort of...issue...and a good chance it will not be taken(sic) seriously....then I may as well admit my entertainment by it....

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I promised myself I was gonna stay out of all this hoopla....But hey, friends here know me and the I just have to say what I think
I don't think someone that posts how to get rid of oily skin, how to mop a floor, how to wash dishes, etc. should "move up the foodie ladder."....That being said, this is a food site....Okay, a social food site....That's why there are groups.....Anything I've wanted to talk about on this site that hasn't involved food, I've done in a group that someone else created or went and created myself....I think that's how the majority of us do it....There's a group for checking in and that's what they do there....There''s a group for bitching (Heat in the Kitchen), there's a group for bento boxes, there's a group for spiritual whatever, there's a group that I belong to that's for Massachusetts residents and we talk about Mass, stuff.........There's a place for everything and as far as I'm concerned, posting a dirty cotton ball on a food site as a recipe is not the place. If you want to talk about how to clean your face, take it to one of the 100's of groups created and DO NOT post a "recipe" for how to do it....I do not post a recipe for what I think of the Patriots....But I do talk about it in Massholes.....I don't know if I'm making my point but it is this....There is a place for everything here at GR....Posting a recipe about oily skin and then posting a pic of it is not the right place.....Post that stuff in a group....After all, there are so many lately!!!!!

Another thing I would like to say too.....This group was created by Kris, (although he's not around anymore to look at things posted here), to talk about things to improve the site....not to complain!!!!.......There is a "Complaint group" that all this should be brought to.....There's a point I wanted to make in that and it's that no one pays attention to what the deal is around here anymore.....Not even the site owner...But I love this site and the basic concept of a social food site was awesome.....Things here have gotten out of hand and if you love the site, look at what the desciption of something is here, and post appropriately .....Now I'm gonna shut up!!!....Yeah, right!!...LOL

Not sure why this would be the 'wrong' group. Lots of non suggestion related posts have been made here and simple fact is, it just doesn't matter. (having a 'Meatballs' moment. haha)
Kris is gone and there are no powers that be. My thinking is, as far as they are concerned, as long as people keep joining and spending time here, no matter what they do..it just doesn't matter anymore. They are getting hits on their eternal BETA site. Obviously that is all that they care about.
I believe someone posted not too long ago about the changes in the rules to the site...it's pretty much free game anymore.
As far as silky smooth legs and saving your jars goes...someone out there NEEDS that help... ;-P

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
WT---You are fine, we were all new at some point, LOL. And believe me--no one here is likening your placing this into the wrong group to telling someone to put lotion on their legs after showering. So you are fine.
Otherwise, this same troll has been playing this site for a fool now for well over a year and a half. The person in question is not illiterate, nor unintelligent, no matter how she labors the point to prove otherwise.
This person's whole goal in life is to be top-dawg-top-spotter at GR. It sees this site much as a teenager sees the top level of a video game, or as some of us see level 34 in FarmTown. However, to go to the severe lengths this person has (under different names, mind you) gone to to obtain that goal of "winning" is nothing short of sick. There is an obsessive-compulsive sickness there.
She's played this game before, and she'll play it again. It's sad but true. We've all been the butt of the joke (or most of us "regulars" have) at one point or another---and some of us see through the multiple personas, different IP addys and registrations, troop names, lowballers, high-raters, and the rest of the melodramatic bull$hit it slings with it's efforts on a daily basis.
Studying as I have and doing the work I have in the past, I can tell you that this person is no more of a raging success in life than they are here on GR. They may always get close, but there is rarely a cigar--in their real life as is reflected here. I would wager that interpersonal relationships in real life are as rife with misgivings in her real life as they are here and that is just sad.
Point is, since the site owner doesn't give a red damn about what is posted here, and since he has literally excused himself from any culpability on the site's part--since the troll has done nothing illegal in her sad little attempts at being NUMBER ONE on GR---avoid it at all costs and laugh at her idiocy/insanity.
You know what they say---the definition of insanity is repeatedly doing something while expecting a different result. We've all seen this one before, folks. Let's just laugh and shake our heads and go on to the next one....because after all--she'll be back! LOL at the troll!
Sincerely,

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I gotta say, for me it's not so much the "non-food" recipes that get me, but the absolute absurdity of some posts. Like rubbing alcohol straight from the bottle onto your face (missed the pic!), which happens to be one of the most damaging things you can do to your skin, btw. OR mopping, or put lotion on after you shave. These are NOT recipes, nor are they such unusual tips that they bear sharing here as recipes. NOW, if someone wanted to say put cornmeal or bay keaves out to get rid of ants, then yeah, that's something that is not so common that it shouldn't be shared.
I'm with you Keni, I refuse to get caught up in it. COmic relief for sure, no more, no less. And if others are so silly as to rate crap like that a 5 and move that crap up to the top, then, they are just as sad. Can you imagine, in the near distant future, the unsuspecting new bride comes to this site to really learn something, and clicks on a top foodie page and sees that crap?? Rating that crap is only contributing to the demise of the site as we used to know it. IF you believe this person is really what and who they say they are fine, make a kind comment. But you don't have to rate it a 5. OF course, some people rate everything a 5 because that helps their own ratings, and if they give crap a 5, then maybe the crap poster will give them one...lol...if it weren't so funny it would be really sad.

OK, and while we are on the subject, what is up with posting the pagan rites and ritula here so that the posters won't "lose" them? HOW would you LOSE them? Can't you type them in Word or something? This site was not meant to be personal storage for un-related items of each of the members. Can you imagine the fallout that would come I we dared to post the Ten Commandments so we wouldn't "lose' them...? LOL Good thing we have our Bibles to find them in.

Hey sparow... :) [sic] just is a term(Latin, I think) used like when you are copying somethin' that you know is misspelled or misused, but you are trying to keep it authentic to the original text...
like if someone were copying the way I type, they could use [sic] to show that they weren't unintentionally forgetting "gs" or whatever ;)
basically, it shows that you aren't just misspelling a bunch of stuff, you are showing where someone else made errors, and they are left is cus they're pertinent to the point or the story or whatever....
And, just a FTR... I do have a few non recipe messages posted.... for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Memorial Day, and, a message bout my cast iron information...I did those as blanket "messages" to all my friends since there isn't a "send to friends" option with messages.... BUT, I understood that I'd likely get marked down for those(and did on a couple), and I don't think 4 out of the 200 recipes I've posted counts as overkill....... :)

here we are:
Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", "as such", or "in such a manner". In writing, it is placed within square brackets and usually italicized – [sic] – to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding quoted material has been reproduced verbatim from the quoted original and is not a transcription error.[1

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I need to put my two cents in, just to make a small point. Yes, I've been posting spells and rituals of late. I seem to have gotten the 'bug' because it's close to Halloween (or Samhain, in my world). I didn't post them to save them for my own use. I already have them saved on my hard drive. I posted them to share with the other pagans who are on GR. There are quite a few pagans here, and food is important to us, too. It plays a large part in our ritual and our worship, in which we share our blessings with the deities who guide us.
I also monitor a group in Decorative Entertaining, and some of the non-food recipes I've posted were specifically put here for that purpose. As a foodie, I enjoy not only feeding my friends and guests, I like entertaining them with my food and hostess ability as well. Others also find this enjoyable, or there wouldn't be so many Party groups, with so very many members.
I'm sorry if some members here find my posts disagreeable, but I will continue to post them until such time as some site master orders me to desist. I try to title my posts so that you will know immediately what it's about, and if you don't like what the title suggests, I suggest you don't open the 'recipe'.

There's room for everyone's thoughts on what food or traition is important to them. It's not like there aren't other groups here that discuss things other than food.
If you don't find it interesting, don't read it..................and for Pete's sake.......lighten up already.......I know you all have more important things to worry about.
Shame on you...petty, petty, petty.
knoxcop 1 month, 2 weeks ago said:
RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
PAT2ME--You are right, some of it is petty. However, "pettyness" in and of itself would be construed as posting a notion on a recipe site about putting damned lotion on one's legs after showering---or using hand sanitizer during the height of flu season in your home.
Posting a food-related "recipe" to keep ants out of one's kitchen doesn't cross the line. Nor does a recipe on how to dry out salt once it's clumped. A myriad of examples on what is right or wrong here could be extolled--but the fact remains that SOME of this crap does NOT belong on this site.
I'm sorry if it offends someone here, but posting spells and Samhain this or telling someone how to wash their face with rubbing alcohol when it has NO food-related products involved in the instruction or carrying out of such is just not right. If your "spell" or whatever has a food product IN it, then fine--whatever. If you're telling someone to rub their face with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol--WRONG.
Lastly, to tell everyone here who reads this section, "I'm going to post whatever I want and to hell with what you say" is the epitome of childish disregard. That's fine, but when saying this, you are also blatantly smacking of spoiled self-indulgence. It's ok, though. 20 bucks on a board says you also get away with acting that way in real life.
Just sayin'.

Hey, Judy....not saying I agree that some of that stuff has any place whatsoever in a food networking venue.......but, since there doesn't seem to be anyone monitoring the site, unfortunately no one is going to set any guidelines and enforce them.
I also think the statement above could have been phrased a bit less caustically. If you choose to disregard the wishes of the majority on a community site, you could say so with a lot more tact.
I guess what I'm saying is since we don't seem to have a way to regulate it, the only option we have is to disregard it. If the subject of the topic seems off the wall ( to put it mildly).........don't read it and upset yourselves any further.

Do I REALLY care? Nope! These potions are titled accurately. They just seem inappropriate for a cooking site. Do I think the reaction of observing the site seems unmonitored and hence the concoctions will continue... so there, is juvenile and unworthy? Yup.

Pat, I was referring to statements made by others, for example, SGS who said plainly on her page about using hand sanitizer, "I don't care what any of you say, I will post what I want..." and also a few posts above mine, someone said, "I don't care, I'm still going to post what I want to..." (in essence).
I think we are in total agreement--but just to clarify, it wasn't me saying these things. I actually *do* care what I post, and (so far) all of my "recipes" are just that---recipes.

I don't think one here and there like mine from a year ago or the occasional poem to friends is that big a deal but when you are posting numerous nonsense ones on a daily basis and other members coming behind and giving 'high 5!' and encouraging the nonsense like they are encouraging a 1st grader learning to read. Well, then it does get a bit annoying and maybe some people do feel insulted. We are all adults, or supposed to be, here at GR. Lord knows the moon gets full and THERE ARE AGENDAS behind most of it. We are all entitled to an opinion for sure and will speak it when we feel the need.
As far as the non food recipes are concerned...don't almost all of them have accompanying groups that were made by the same person? Why aren't the 'helpful' posts put into these groups that they belong to as different threads...I mean really, why were the groups made if the creator is not going to use them?

We all know why the groups were created, hun. Because creating a group equals more points to the top.
Ah, well. Inventing useless groups, other "fans" of your recipes and inventing ugly sisters for one's self seems par for the course here at GR for those desperate for points and attention.

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I too am a relatively new kid on the site & must admit to the guilty pleasure of your Subject/Discussion. I think I joined when all of this was starting & wondered first, what it was doing here, then how come there was so much of it if it didn't belong?
Then, actually thought I felt sorry for this individual & wanted to do something that would allow her to have a platform where I wouldn't have to see photos of dirty cotton balls in between browsing new individuals sites, then try to get my appetite back again.
I honestly thought that someone was having me on, that it was a joke. Well, I thought so until I started reading so much hurtful & angry words between what I want to believe are decent people. This anger actually grew in 2 places. the 1st is on the non-food recipe producers site the 2nd, was something to do with someone on this site having an attorney who was collecting info & a lot of angry threats & 1 person who has multiple identities on this site & so on.
Neither group represented what I wanted to be a part of here so I put on my thinking hat (It's pretty moth eaten now) & realized that I cold decline the invitation for the drama & threats group (As an additional message was sent to me in which the sender thought it was lol funny to tell me to send her my dog & no one would get hurt. Actually, it felt like being the new kid at Junior High School. But I could & did choose to walk away & ignore the nominal barrage of hurtful words.
As far a s the non-food site was concerned, I thought why doesn't this person have her own Group where She & her like minded friends & family & anyone seeking this information could search out so it would be separate from other Food Sites or Groups. So I created her own Group for her, with a nice Photo & even made it private upon her request.
So, as I'm sure all of you already know, no good deed goes unpunished & I am now receiving my punishment. i am directly in the cross hairs of the aforementioned group & the latter. I'm pretty strong so I can take it. I still hold out the hope that the latter Group will settle down into their new Private Group & GR can slowly return to being a predominately Recipe Site again.
Am I A fool or foolish? Attempting a practical solution or an aspiring, soon to be retiring ideologist? Don't know. Time will tell, I hope.

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I just didn't see the point of starting a "new group" for her things when she already started about 30 of her own "new" groups. I tend to stay out of the drama myself but many of the groups are duplicates and I fear that with so much info on this site- that is unmonitered at best. there will be no room for the actual groups involving food and hosting related stuff. That said, I left SGS a joking message on the shaving legs recipe. Something to the effect of here in Massachusetts it is so cold we need the furry legs. and then nicely said you might be bogging down this site with all the groups, no name calling, no mean spirited ness on my part. & I got a very nasty response from her. In my opinion she is not who she says she is & probabloy an alias for someone playing a joke. But thats just my opinion. I say live and let live but to call the "troops" out every time someone says something or does something you don't like is like being in High schools and they are just bullys. Talk about Juviniele behavior, take a look at some of the behaviors of your so called "friends".

Dang, LaurieG. Too bad you're not closer, or I'd buy you a drink for that one.
That said, why anyone would feel the need to shelter this person or dissuade any of the truthful statements made about her FROM her is beyond me. In my humble opinion, "Jolie"---you haven't been here long enough to discern the truth of the matter. To jump in face first and immediately start communicating with and defending one of the sight's biggest hemmorhoids is very telling. In plain English, you're not fooling anyone. Take that any way you like.
Have at it if you must, defend away....but don't expect anyone here who DOES know what is going on to patronize the effort with anything but rolling of the eyes and disgust. The grass roots players here, the ones who have been here forever and are STILL here (under their original monikers--imagine that) know what's up.

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I told myself to stay out of this drama, but I have kept up on these posts (like a train wreck, you can't look away) and outside of my own dialog with dagnabbit and Sandy and kingofallasses, I have read numerous exchanges from all these so called "troops" and such, and I have to agree with Knoxcop, I don't buy the excuse of Jolilives as to why she is "helping" Sandy with her group. I feel she is encouraging the stupidity to continue and I have read the many posts to and from Sandy to her and also seen the various "friendships" with others. I think that Jolilives is as much of a problem as Sandy herself and all her crazy ass friends! I came on here over a month ago and within a few days couldn't help but see there are some really strange going-ons, but I also see there are some people with some common sense like myself who can see through these crazies! I don't understand why the "troops" including dagnabbit, would be so adamant about coming to the rescue of one crazy ass bitch! Doesn't make any sense whatsoever if they are not connected in some way. Just my opinion, for what that's worth!

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
I said something on Sandy's page one time that got me reamed real good but that's ok cause I can take it. What I spoke was the truth and so be it. She is a troll from a way back.
WT there are about 5 "big players" here on this site and we all know who they are. I will tell you one thing tho. You can ask Kn0x something public or private and she will tell you the truth about it.
There is no trash under that girl's feet and whoever her friends are here you can bank on to be honest. Saw the other day where she wasn't answering any more private msgs from anyone she didn't know.
Cant say as I blame her one bit but do know this. Honest people here are few and far between. Better count that big 5 up handy and call it lucky if they decide to be nice to ya!
Going back to lurking now...I just wanted to throw my .02 in the ring.

Yeah, you know what, I'm tired of "fearing" what the troops will do to your ratings if you speak your mind. It's bull shit to be blunt! It's as if they own they're bullies in a play ground. Super childish, if you ask me! And you are right as rain, wt, I don't buy the "troops" coming to the rescue of sgs or her obvious aliases either unless they were connected somehow. I do have to say sgs has GOT to be as stupid as she talks because NO ONE would be as dumb as to believe we can't tell that the king and cbq, as well, "speak" with the same damn bad grammar - no wait, it doesn't even qualify as that - just plain ignorance loud and clear! I read what she wrote to Clandestine when he/she commented on several of her lame 'recipes' and she had the gaul to call him uneducated! UNBELIEVABLE! Is she really that blind to her own ignorance?!

Knox you have no right to say panther is a troll with hundreds of aliases. You are one of the biggest bullies and giver of unfounded information on this site.

In case you don't read very well, WICKTORRIDVAGINA, nobody even mentioned you here until you butted your big nose back into the mix where it doesn't belong.
Once more you prove yourself to be a very mean spirited little troll and perhaps people would enjoy reading some of your fine work in your "private" (joke) rooms. Hmmmmm I may have to put up a few little linky linkies.
Knox knows more than you may think she should or would about this site......and the people on it matter of factoids. Syntax that yourself beeyotch.
Finally, I admire her for who she is and what she says. If she says I have more then one handle maybe I do that is for me to know and you to send out the military and your lawyers on.
You sicken me. You and your whole damn bunch. Pisser you cant do anything about me or to me being as I don't have anything posted under recipes so you and your "troops" and your old personas can't come back to negate whatever is said by giving "1's" on stuff.
To be very clear about it....I am not on your team, WICKTORRIDVAGINA. And I don't want you on mine.

You set yourself up as a deep well of nefarious information and your buddies and pals follow your accustions like you lead them with rings in their noses."
So do explain what you mean by "giver of unfounded information" and "nefarious" information. We're all waiting with bated breath...NOT.
Personally, I don't care what you say either way. I am just waiting for the military to come knocking on my door because I may have said something about you or your other personas. Or perhaps one day I shall have a "paralegal" come to my door to collect a statement about the goings-on here on GroupRecipes.
Really---save yourself the humiliation, hun. You reek of your old persona and I swear I can smell you from here. LOL! (

Fewer pieces but ones that are special. Think Madeleine Albright's pin collection/wardrobe.

I never knew I would start such a hilarious dialog by my question over a month ago, but you all have entertained me so much. I did just get a message from a Chefzilla on here basically asking me what my "deal was?" I have no idea who it is, but they were extremely rude and accused me of having an agenda more or less especially since I only have posted one recipe. I guess he/she is a member of the "troops" I have seen and talked about earlier. I thought it was totally out of line of them to say that to me. Anyway, just keep 'em coming, you all are cracking me up. Oh, and chefzilla also asked if I was a friend of Joymaries. After all this craziness, she wonders why I've chosen not to put any more recipes on here?

Really well, though I haven't been there in a week b/c of this cold/sinus thingy. It's getting busier all the time and in the 1st week of Dec we/re going to shoot a commercial there. Thanks for asking, Pat
LOOP-DE-LOOS all of them!

Greekie - didn't know about your new business venture until I just saw Pat's comment here. Fantastic! Accept my wishes for great success and fun getting there. I am sure your food will be a big draw.
Hmmm, a specially decorated apron for the establishment's big boss seems necessary. Design input? I'm thinking a picture of a slice with crystals to evoke how mouth-watering moist and yummy your pizza is....

Hey, GG, if you want a special apron for your commercial shoot....I'll get a blank apron from work and whip out the bedazzler and make you a Notyourmomma''s special....with all the credit going to Borinda for the design idea. Seems to me I have a bunch of Swarowski crystals leftover from skating dresses that I could put to good use......you'll be just as dazzling in the commercial as you are in your wedding dress.
Seriously, best wishes on your business venture. I hope it is a great success. This is a hard time to start up a restaurant and I'm sending you lots of positive thoughts, hon.

You got that right Knoxcop when you say "juvenile, obsessive and downright crazy" behavoir! I just got another message from chefzilla - she is bat shit crazy! I've asked her to leave me alone, but obviously she enjoys the dialog! I refuse to be pulled into her craziness!

Hey LeCLARE---You know, it might just be worth a minute or two of your time to call someone at Langley AFB. Dial up the main switchboard, then ask to speak to whomever there is in charge of their IP services.
I'd be letting some commander or security person in on the nice little package of pm's you've been getting from this person, if I were you. I said "person" as opposed to "persons" because we all know it's one and the same.
Either way--everything on a base is monitored closely, and a simple ping here and there will tell them who's been accessing GR site.
Plain English--you've got more than enough to fry her crazy a$$ off this site once and for all--if there is any truth at all to her claiming to be "on site" at a military base.
However, if she's not on a miltiary base (and its doubtful she is--just more of the lies she propagates daily)---then that too will be revealed if they don't find the site accessed.
Feel me? Just sayin'.

Be smart... ignore the nuts of the world. So not worth your time, thought, or aggravation. You feed into their ill behavior by answering or even giving them this degree of attention. Think of it this way... how many of us have puppies who are attention whores???
Make pizza. Notyo --- thank you for taking on the apron project. Way to go with the happy perspective!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In essence, Borinda---you are correct. For the most part, trolls should generally be ignored.
However, when someone makes veiled threats of meeting someone in person, BLATANT threats to others here of "military action," against them for mundane musings on a website, then comes up with (who knows how many) different personas to post under to cross their points off-----I say throw it back at them.
She keeps throwing out the military, Langley AFB was mentioned as a meeting place for her vengeful acts against LeClare, etc. My take on an idiot such as this is to give them a dose of their own medicine.
I say use what info she's given and call her on it. She's really good at talking about "calling out". Notice in this thread she supposedly called me out and I'm still awaiting her response.
Good thing she's not in Knoxville TN---because I can guarantee you one thing. If she were, and she decided to play her billy bad ass games here, I'd serve her GR dinn-dinn to her on a silver platter and I don't mean the eatin' kind, either.
Call 'em LeClare. Call me first and I'll tell you who to talk to, what to say and how to nail her a$$ to the board. I do hope she's reading this. There's one thing to sitting in front of a computer having fun with people day and night.
It is quite another to spoon out the load of horsesh!t this one has and feel as if she's gotten away with it. I'd shove Langley up her everlovin .....

See, that's what she's counting on. She is counting on the sheer sanity of most people. She's counting on you to take her words as internet chatter and nothing more. You let her win when you dismiss her.
I've never claimed to be sane. I would bask in the glow of printing out her pm's, disk capturing screen shots of her benign little threats (every thread! paralegal! lawsuit! military! Langley! Meet me!) and with each keystroke I made, I would own her a$$ a little bit more.
I swear---were it me---she would regret ever studding the keys to my pm box. Really.
Maybe it will shut her up just knowing you are thinking about it. We can always hope....

Knox, I actually agree with you that specific threats are not a joke. Instead of handling those within the ranks here of people who are e-friends I would contact the police and fast. Threats are not a joke and in an age of hackers and lunatics I'd prefer being overly cautious to being cavalier and thinking I can handle it alone. Give that a little (or a whole lot, acutally) thought, please. We have some incredible friendships within this site but we are not face-to-face acquaintances and therein lies the limitations.
Just sayin' I'd rather you play it safe. This is something I won't make a joke of nor downplay. Safety first, please!

RE: What is with the crazy non-food recipes all of a sudden!
My point exactly, Borinda.
Playing and joking with our friends here is all in good fashion. Most of us have fun here each day and have met some fantastic people. (I know I have!) But then you have this insidious little grouping of trolls, namely one---who thinks it is completely fine to threaten other posters here with military action, legal action/lawsuits, and/or meeting in person at a military base.
I should think that our U.S. Military would be sorely grieved at this persona/troll using their name and mentioning Langley in her trolling efforts. I should also think that Langley would be taking such grievous offences into consideration when charging her with misuse of base equipment and openly threatening another poster here with meeting that person ON BASE and also harrassment, and cyber stalking---all of which carry jail time---especially in the military.
Fun is fun and most of us have it here at GR and enjoy our foodie pals immensely. This troll has taken it too far and SHOULD NOT be allowed to get away with it!
