Wow, I'm still amazed. I think I've finally read the rantings of a true kook
here in AUK.
Because of Ms. Karen Anderson's private diaries posted here, I find myself
making an exception to my policy of non-involvement with those who may be
mentally ill - why, not even a real mentally ill person could do such a fine
job acting like one so I think it's all some put on to troll gullible people
and to make herself the center of attention as she obviously has no real
life.
But first, let me pose you a question: Is Karen actually concerned about any
of us and what anybody posts or does she just want to prance around on
center stage? After reading this post, you'll most likely conclude it's the
latter case. There are some kooks who sound like childish twits with their
excessive use of profanity and ad hominem attacks of a scurrilous nature and
there some others like Karen who write a very good representation of a
stuck-on-herself, aging female who thinks she's the center of the universe.
There are also some who are less than provocative because they sound like
mindless automatons spewing the same childish one-liners post after post. I
think Karen is the more successful troll because she sounds pretty much like
a clueless, stereotypical, divorced housewife who has imagined friends all
over the country with whom she commiserates. Yet, she obviously spends 18-20
hours a day posting to Usenet so who do you think Karen is in real life?
Karen's rantings are very believable precisely because she acts pretty much
like a cross section of middle-aged women we all know in our personal lives.
I believe Dr. Joy Browne calls them "stupid and cheerful" and advocates they
be that way on purpose in order to avoid interpersonal relationship snafus.
But, therein lies the problem for poor Karen. Her acting stupid and cheerful
certainly does come naturally to her but what Dr. Brown doesn't mention is
acting stupid and cheerful tends to diminish a woman's standing in a man's
world. Stupid and cheerful is easy to be around for a while. Then it tends
to become quite odious after some prolonged exposure. It's easy to have sex
with stupid and cheerful, for example, but do you really want to wake up to
it in the morning when you expect a good breakfast prepared for you?
So, with this in mind, can a normal man sit back and let the Karen types
overthrow conceptual female beauty and allow her to sublime helpful and
intelligent, the noble and the good of womanhood, and instead drag people
down into the sphere of her own cheerful and stupid nature, or should we
tell Karen what we all think of her. Boy, do I have some choice words I'd
like to use? But, not knowing for sure if Karen really suffers some kind of
mental illness or is just a very realistic troll it is perhaps better to err
on the stupid and cheerful side lest she be driven over the edge.
To some of us here this choice sure sounds like a no-brainer but choices
have consequences and at this time of year with Christmas cheer and all
would it not perhaps be better to err on the side of caution and accept
Karen not as an act but as a real life woman with some problems such as
lacking interpersonal relationship skills? Mankind needs to do more to view
the realm of moderated chaos which is the normal female mind as a miracle
and less to view realm of totally unbridled chaos which is the mind of any
left-behind, stupid and cheerful middle-aged woman whose time has come - and
gone! I say all this because I hope you are all mindful that a mind on the
edge can easily be tipped into oblivion and Karen seems mighty close to that
precipice.
There's something about Karen's rantings that seem genuine yet there is
always a hint of a sham or a deception when her diatribes are read
carefully. She may well be a master manipulator laughing her ass off at how
she can stir up the hornet's nest so easily.
You know what I'm beginning to think? To Hell with Karen! Is she even worth
this much of my time? It's typical of Karen's posts: she condemns bigotry
and injustice except when it benefits her personally which is most of the
time because she writes to inspire just that. Here's a clue. When trying to
understand what she is up to, look at what she is saying and what it's based
upon. Don't let yourself be distracted by the patter of crocodile tears and
the vigorous hand-wringing; keep your eye on the shell that has the pea
under it. And focus your mind on the fact that if she had her way, everybody
would live in a broken down RV on a dead-end drive up in the cold country
and would act like they did so because they had found that to be the best
way to live. Now, ask yourself is that the perception of a normal mind? I
thought it appalling that Karen wrote that she told somebody she would pray
for them and then she delighted in revealing she did no such thing. Sort of
a slap to their face. And she did this believing that she has the mandate of
Heaven to subject human beings to these indignities while complaining how
rotten some people treat her.
But if you read her writings while mentally focusing and weigh each point
carefully, it's clear that she receives a great deal of correspondence from
people all over the country. Like most normal women Karen networks. And one
of the things that disturbs me about her is the number of people who realize
that she loves getting up in front of people and telling them that men are
spare parts in the social repertoire -- mere optional extras. She then
boasts offline to her phony friends about how she'll vanquish those who
taunt her in a matter of days. It's all part of the Usenet spectacle that is
Karen Anderson. Of course, she soaks it up and wallows in it like a pig in
mud. So those of you who wrestle with Karen should bear in mind that you
can't win. A pig loves mud.
Although Karen has obvious popular appeal, she likes to feel like the poor,
set upon victim. Her posts encourage those who enjoy seeing her slapped
silly. Such activity can flourish only in the dark corners of a kook
newsgroup otherwise some lawyer Karen hires will probably sue for cyber
bullying. If you drag it into the open, Karen and her little dog and pony
show will probably run for cover, like cockroaches in a dirty kitchen when
the light is turned on suddenly during the night.
That's why I decided to use my analytical prowess to shine a light on
Karen's somewhat successful efforts to troll the entirety of AUK. Some of
you just ain't much brighter than Karen it seems so an explanation will do
you all good. Don't give her any more kook awards. She's playing you all for
fools just like I do and she's found how easy it is to manipulate all of you
twits into doing her bidding.
So, in conclusion, don't be sucked in by Karen. I don't really think she's
as stupid and cheerful as she portrays herself. It's an act rehearsed for
many years to have you all groveling on the floor at her queenly feet.
