Okay, I'm proscrastinating doing something and I'm one of those people where the more important the task, the harder it is for me to start it...

Since we got on the topic of our long-lost, much-missed friend moonraven, I thought I'd go through some old threads. I think this one is a classic
Mercado sux, shop at Walmart title thanks to our other old friend and moonraven sparing partner MixtecaMike.

Any other candidates for favorite moonraven memories?


She hasn't posted in more than a year and she's still in the top ten in total number of posts! http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/job/memberlist.php

I thought she was extremely rude and sour; virtually everything she posted was an attack. I'd just as soon people forgot about her.

Here are some classic lines:

Have you noticed that you can't seem to post anything without talking about your sexual preference? (Or someone else's sexual activity?)

Is there some reason for that?

You really are a piece of work. Doesn't surprise me that you're living in the US.
Please stay there.

Probably the same reason you can't go 2 posts without mentioning your flawless Spanish, your PhD, your many published books, your support for Hugo Chavez, & your atheism???

Sorry I missed reading your epic novel about Latin America that was published here on Dave's. And I am sure that new folks who join this forum are also sad to have missed it.

Are you aware that you asked us to take our clothes off with you?

Not a good start for your first post.

The presence of caricature gringo attitudes on this forum is what makes it very hard to resist calling attention to same--even for the most PC among us.

I, for one, do NOT understand Australian English. And given the boorish comments on this forum, I am now even less inclined to try.

As for other mean-spitited misogynists/ageists on this forum like Johnny the MAN (how transparent can you be, woman-hater?), please be advised than Moonraven doesn't HATE 99% of native English speakers--hating is an activity specific to misogynists/ageists like you--she just isn't comfortable being around most of them.

Maybe because they are nasty little twerps like you? Possibily.

There were times she seemed that she had valid and educated points to contribute but were all too often lost under her lack of tack and poor delivery.

I think this pic adequately shows what Moonraven was :

[M@tt]

broke up the boring days at the office, i guess.

she was the most shameless self-promoter i've ever read on this forum but maybe one of the few that you were inclined to believe. i'm sure everyone's aware of all her credentials since she beat us with them on a regular basis.

i feel like everything important she had to say was marred by bad (i.e. tactless) delivery. then there was the unimportant or insane. she once said something about venezuela being the only country in the world where anything important or interesting was happening. i'm sure i got it wrong but someone else can do the research.

i would love to have met her in person, i just can't believe she'd be anywhere near as awful in real life. she does have family, after all--not just spawned from a volcano or the pits of hell to torment us all.
she's be a good person to study if you were writing a character piece about someone with immense potential whose fatal flaw ruined them, kind of a greek archetype. michael jackson always comes to mind.
