(26,467 posts)for example, you posted claims that 9 feet of hail fell on mexico during a thunderstorm, when in fact, a deep pile of hail had collected from a wide area at the bottom of a steep hill due to run-off...
if you had several DUers point out to you that 3 meters of hail, did not in fact fall on the area, but that the resulting pile of hail was the run-off from a much larger area, would you perhaps correct your claim, or, would you double down on it, and then call the people correcting you some nefarious gang of bullies?
I believe I went so far as to use the most simplistic analogy possible to explain the issue; pour a container of bb's on a flat plate, and measure it's depth, and then pour the bb's into a small bowl, and measure the depth. but that was perceived as some sort of ruthless attack.
while the exasperation of watching nadin double down on claims like this over the years has led me to lose patience and act less than polite at times (which I will readily admit), to this day I am fascinated how stories like this get portrayed as some kind of relentless gang-bullying. I have never seen somebody take the victimhood tactic to this level, or to take an internet message board as personally, as she has. The hypocrisy can be amazing, as nadin seems to sincerely wish me some sort of misery, despite playing the defenseless victim.
