OT Mods, Biases, and Sects Oh My!

lol no.
Btw i did read your moniker post. That was deep aNd one of the more interesting reasons for the name.

 

I did the 23 & me a few years back, but really haven't kept up with it. It was a saliva test. I constantly get updates that they've added 4th & 5th cousins, or the like. Big whoop.

 

No, I am Spartacus, er I mean cup.

 

I’m prolly sharing too much but.........I did the DNA test on Ancestry several years ago. I too get the notifications of 4th and 5th cousins I never heard of (along with confirmation that some of my first cousins are actually related....duh), but about 6 months ago I got an email from a lady a year or two younger who said that our DNA indicated we were first cousins on my mother’s side(???!!!???). Her mother had gotten pregnant as a teenager, eventually married another man (and had more kids) and always refused to talk about who this gal’s father was. She passed away without ever talking about it. As “my cousin” is now in her mid sixties, she wanted to know more about her origins before she dies, so she took the Ancestry DNA test.

I was blown away and thought it might be some sort of scam, but she sent me pictures of herself and her resemblance to my late mother was breathtaking. Of course her mother is gone now, as is virtually anyone who could possibly provide a definitive answer. So all we can figure out is that my mom’s younger brother (a feckless, spoiled rotten hellion if there ever was one) impregnated this lady’s mother and then refused to take responsibility for it (it totally fits my uncle’s.....and my grandparent’s way of dealing with life). Of course my uncle is now dead and his only living (and acknowledged) spawn is is a much more accomplished and criminal individual than my uncle was, so going there for DNA confirmation is a non starter. So we’re in a kind of limbo and living with a lot of assumptions that we cannot easily (if ever) verify.

But.......she seems like a very nice lady, now lives in Vancouver BC and has a daughter who has competed (Equestrian events) in the last 3 Paralympics (the girl has Cerebral Palsy) and who is also an accomplished writer. So my siblings and I have found her and her family to be an interesting addition to our family and we all look forward to meeting once this Covid thing passes.

My sister in law also discovered a half sister she never knew about through DNA testing. So be aware of what you might find lurking out there if you do the DNA thing. Fortunately (flabbergasting as it was) it worked out well for my family and I. I’m afraid to try 23 & Me........it might show me and @ABM to be cousins.......

 

Bless your lucky stars that you're related to ABM and not Trump.

 

I had an uncle much like yours. He worked for an uncle on the other side of the family and managed to steal his company checkbook and write bad checks. He was wanted in several states. He joined to Army during WWII and then deserted. He was a horrible alcoholic. Told his wife one day that he was going to the store to buy some ice cream and she never saw him again. He deserted a daughter then. I remember as a little boy I was really into these gasoline driven model airplanes. most of them were 049s had one tiny 029. I was absolutely fascinated with this model plane in the 5 and dime store known as a Fire Baby. I drooled over that plane every day as I passed by on my way home from swimming in the lake. It was way out of my league at $10.00. An ice cream cone was a nickel as was a coke and a phone call. My uncle constantly promised to buy that for me but he never did. Broke my heart.
My grandfather also sired another son whom no one ever knew. My father was the oldest of 8 children but this person would have been a little older than my father.

I'd check out one of these DNA heritage places but I don't know which one is the best 23 and me or Ancestry.com.

 

I can see the resemblance. You owe me a beer.

 

so curious...

is this your version of bar room talk to strangers?

or is this another attempt at trying to start drama, get a response and then claim innocence?

@PtldPlatypus is this also not okay to ask?.....

 

And his post was positive?????


i wouldn't expect you to understand. You already made that clear. But for one last attempt, he is clearly trying to rile me up.

You have made it clear you are okay with this.

However you are not okay with me asking him about his excuses for chasing people around this place.
I don't expect you to understand. Why would i? You are biased.

 

you cant be serious can you?

its not his post that has me riled up. Its your biased moderating.
I never brought this post up until you reprimanded me for asking about/ calling out his bar analogy in another thread.
Nice try at spinning this though.
I knew you were biased. I didn't know you were a sidestepper as well.

but then you dont get it...

 

yes i gave a great answer. Because it didn't rile me up and still doesn't.
Its your guys modding, allowing him to TRY to rile people up and Actually supporting his behavior that gets me riled up.

I also never claimed his post was a personal insult. You make more shit up and/ or spin it like platy now?

Wtf are you guys smoking with how you are twisting things?? I need to get some if it causes the mind to veer off like that....


Ill spell it out for you....

hcp didn't rile me up. Its your allowing his attempts to rile me up while condemning me for questioning his bar excuse that got me going.
Are you not able to separate the two and see the difference?

i mean what in the literal fuck?
You can not allow him to do that crap while not allowing others to go back at him.
If you don't see the bias in that then that's soley on you.
Don't spin it. Its black and white.

 

Dude! The only thing that will ever end this is one of two things.
He leaves me the fuck alone or you guys call him out like you call me out.
Anything less and you can blame yourselves for anything continuing. Or just ban my ass....
