You have been the #1 cause of most of the hatred on the forums with your name calling and accusatory statements against the locals and the state. If some of the newer people posting could have seen the names and horrific things you have said about the people and state of NH they would be shocked.
My question to you is WHY do you enjoy the bashing. Is it for the excitement, the drama or is it just plain meanness?
If you truly want people to help with this mystery then you will control the urge to throw out little digs and insults. Enough is enough!

generally speaking, more smarts may correlate with less common sense ;-)

So wait. Which here is fact and which is opinion? "Pike was treated like garbage" is not a factual statement. It is an opinion statement. Anything with any sort of emotionally construing language is opinion. "Dissed" and "humiliated" are also subjective terms. "anathema" also. "Enthusiastically discouraged" is coloured language--if something was indeed discouraged it might be fact (I don't know because I wasn't involved at the time) but "enthusiastically" is subjective and so is "people went ballistic."
This is highly emotionally charged languarge and does not contribute to factual evidence.
These are simple concepts that students learn in College English 101 when they are taught to write an argument or persuasive essay. I'm not tooting my own horn. I am simply stating that in this instance--like Dawn with her phone knowledge--I know whereof I speak. Because I do this sort of evaluation for a living.
The original Maura Murray forum was begun in 2004. Fact.
Pike eventually stopped posting. Fact.
Everything else: evidentiary at best, subjective, and highly emotionally charged with the poster's opinion, which she is trying to persuade us to agree with.

I agree. Shack has since 2004 been using various MM forums as a platform for venting her rage against the NH locals and the NH LE. Just recently she spent some time with some people in Littleton who said they were unfamiliar with the MM story which immediately prompted Shack to go into her 'hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil' rant. OK, Shack we get it, the locals have at one time offended you, now please settle scores with them elsewhere not here.

Shack likes to speak in code because IT EXCLUDES THE NEWCOMERS and she yearns for the 'good old days' when the insiders spoke only to each other and rules were reverentially followed and everyone knew their place and stayed in it.

I also think NH is a beautiful place and I do plan to visit there someday. I love Seattle - however - there are parts of town I won't walk in at night. There are small towns that are quite odd here in WA too. Still beautiful - still nice people - but then again - Ted Bundy and Gary Rigway are from here too . oh and the two from Spokane........

Because we're morons. I've done it, both because I didn't have time to charge it, because I forgot to charge it the night before, because my battery was wearing down because it was old....because the plug gets wobbly as it ages and isn't always connected, and.....because I'm a moron with poor planning skills. Some from column A, some from column B.(it happened this weekend, because I usually charge my phone overnight, and was called away from home with an emergency with very little juice in my phone....and my phone charger doesn't work at the moment.....ugh)

Duh! Of course it's subjective, of course it's my opinion. What else could it possibly be? Do you want to compare credentials? Where have you been published? Do I have to write IMO, IMHO, MOO after every post? Thus contributing to my carpal tunnel syndrome?

I still don't get it. What is the theory? just that NH is bad - which I don't believe in anyway shape or form to be true - as I have stated above. What is FIT's theory. please dummy it down for me.
