Lovequest Anna's anti-troll plea to Catie -

[Marvin]

Ok, so, the background:

Back when Catie was ramping up, Anna was desperately trying to shut down Catie. However, Chris had already met Catie IRL at that point (if my memory is accurate). Catie was already tangible to Chris, so Anna was fighting a losing battle.

Anna's last ditch attempt to dislodge Catie was that she would appeal to Catie's humanity:

You really need to leave Christian alone. It's so painfully obvious to anyone on the outside that you have a fake profile specifically designed to troll him. Just about every paragraph holds a clue against you. The fake license was a pathetic effort, but one you knew would work well enough on someone naive. Too bad you used the wrong font, didn't match the background color, made your fake signature longer than the signature box would allow, and forgot to put the second signature over the picture.

I don't care what you're hoping to get out of this--whether you want to troll him to do something funny, or simply get him to trust you to ultimately help him. You are doing far more damage than you think. You're messing with an autistic man who simply won't see the truth because he wants the lie so badly. And that's sick. You're not just messing with him, though--you're messing with his mom, and you're messing with me.

Whatever your opinion of his mom is, it doesn't give you the right to break her heart either. She doesn't deserve to be given false hope that maybe her son HAS found a soul mate and WILL be taken care of after she's gone. Because that's her greatest fear, and you're playing on it like a predator.

So just stop. I know you're probably pretending to be upset with him right now so that you'll get him desperate enough to do whatever you tell him. It's obscene. Let it go, walk away. Delete the fake accounts, and never do anything like this again.

(I just want to point out: Anna doesn't know Barb. Like, at all. She's pulling the "his poor mother " guilt trip out of her ass.)

"Don't you dare try to gain his trust so you can help him! That position is already taken!"

I gotta say, the shit Anna brought up about the fake license was particularly grating.

See, Catie had jimmied up a fake Maryland license. And while indeed she did fuck up some parts of the license, other parts of the license were dead on. Anna is full of shit.

 

[Flowerwall]

I wonder what Chris would think of the fact that Anna called him naive.

Most people are shittier forgers than they think they are. I reserve judgement until its out in the open.

 

[MrsFrizzle]

"You're messing with me!" Like anyone cares about Anna's noble quest to be an arm's length white knight to a crazy person.

 

[WilhelmIIofPrussia]

I wonder if she has carried on trying to get him to realise the "truth" since then or if she has given up. She also seems to share some of the views of some of us on the forums especially the view that Chris desires to live in an optimistic dreamworld.

 

[Ja'mie]

If Anna is right, Catie really did her trolling efficiently. Mess with Chris, get Borb and Anna as a bonus. Well played, Catherine...well played.

Well, it's more that I have a Maryland ID card and I can confirm the points where Anna was incorrect about that forged card.

well in defense it would be kinda easy to fuck up that really long license number. i think md license numbers have more digits than most other states do.

Well, my issue is more with her critiquing the font. There might be a checksum on the license number that Catie fucked up. (Though Anna didn't bring up a failed checksum, I don't think.)

"She doesn't deserve to be given false hope that maybe her son HAS found a soul mate and WILL be taken care of after she's gone."
Implying Barb gives a shit.

 

[jemas42]

Anna seems like the very, very, VERY dangerous combination of someone who is basically good but stupid. My exposure to her is limited, but she seems like she just wants to be a less involved Rocky; No trying to get Chris to improve himself, no trying to get him to stop his stupid shit, just stop the trolls. Like if tomorrow the CWCki was shut down and we all left this forum, Chris' life would magically get better. Which it wouldn't. I'm not even 100 percent convinced Chris' life would be in any way better if he'd never been trolled.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I can't help but notice that she only refers to Chris as male. Was this before or after Chris decided that the corresponding gender was now female?

"She doesn't deserve to be given false hope that maybe her son HAS found a soul mate and WILL be taken care of after she's gone."
Implying Barb gives a shit.

Oh, Barb gives a shit alright. We know from the other texts that Barb apparently thought this gal-pal was trying to woo Chris as a means to obtaining their house.

At the same time, Barb probably wouldn't want Chris to leave either since if she doesn't already see him as part of the hoard, she sees him as an indentured servant.

i doubt she'd even be smart enough to know how to do that

also please tell me you made "catie" live in dundalk cause that'd be totes lulzy

 

[ballsbedangling]

I was just thinking that myself,
and I wonder if Anna thinks that there really is some girl out there for him Who would be willing to take care of him I really doubt it. I mean other than once barb is gone and Chris is put in to a crazy house and there's a lady taking care of him but that's their job

 

[KillerKarlKox]

It's sad because most recent trolls have tried to be more helpful to Chris than she has in her entire life.

 

[Marvin]

i doubt she'd even be smart enough to know how to do that

Heh, well, just wanna cover all my bases.

also please tell me you made "catie" live in dundalk cause that'd be totes lulzy

Haha, well, I was more an observer of Catie, but that would've been great. That or Glen Burnie.

 

[Le Bateleur]

Poor Brave Catie

Chris should have been a lot nicer to her after all the effort she put in to her side of the relationship.

I bet he never even considered faking an ID for her! Monster.

 

[Enormous Red Straw]

You're messing with an autistic man who simply won't see the truth because he wants the lie so badly....
[Barb] doesn't deserve to be given false hope....

So, according to Anna-Logic, it's wrong to target Chris because his autism and desperation render him too vulnerable.

But if that's true, then why is it wrong to give Barb false hope? She's not ostensibly autistic; she's not supposed to be stupid; she's allegedly capable of sniffing out scams, isn't she?

Apparently not. Even Anna's acknowleding that Barb is dumb as a box of rocks, no more capable of spotting a troll than good ol' Chris.
