That's nasty and uncalled for. If you can't see that part of the reason for the thread is to stop the piling on that you created in the Troll thread, you can go right back over there to play and be picked on. |

I just know from the board that her mother has/had some severe issues, that Anne couldn't always live at home and Anne herself has had some physical and emotional challenges. I'm always really impressed with how forthright she is when she discusses those issues and how steadily she deals with them. |

OK, here's the thing. You're not "joking" any more than any other bully is "joking" with a person they're picking on. Athena has taken it all gracefully, but you and she aren't friends joking around about a topic that you both find amusing. You are being aggressive and nasty by constantly needling her about this. |

Athena has taken it all gracefully, but you and she aren't friends joking around about a topic that you both find amusing. You are being aggressive and nasty by constantly needling her about this. Right...like I'm the only one that has ever joked about it....if it makes you happy, you have put me in my place. I'm not going to listen to you, but you have put me in my place 
ETA: I have never seen Athena in her yellow jumpsuit so I am not actually making fun of her. Anymore than everyone here making fun of my 80's hair is actually making fun of me. Most of the people that say that about my hair have never even seen me to know what I actually look like. So you are taking "bullying" a tad too far. Yes, if I actually saw Athena and made fun of her physical appearance (or whatever) then that would probably be mean. But I haven't a freaking clue....big difference.
And I hope you come to doxie's defense and everyone else that constantly gets stuff thrown at them
