i'll offer a $20 for it...

word...

Apparently neither of read each others' posts clearly enough.
I thought the poster above was your work.
But I do stand by my judgement of it (that derivative cliche'd poster - not your work).

Now, since you addressed me in a relatlively civil manner I shall do my best to return the favor.

You touch on a point which I think very important - how well do any of us REALLY know each other?
My answer would be that we don't really know anything if you look at it closely enough.
Therefore I wouldn't expect to get to know someone I met on the internet intimately.
On the other hand I do get to know some folks here pretty well.
I've met several and all have remained my friends in "real life".
In fact one whom I've met, Dorwayin, knows Tuesday pretty well too, and if you read what he wrote just above where you wrote on my page, you'll see a thoughtful informed opinion on the whole affair which differs from mine slightly, but I still think he's pretty much correct in his analysis.

One of the things that really bugs me is how all these folks I've never seen nor heard of tell me that they know of several people who were scammed by her.
No one EVER tells me who these people are or what the circumstances of this scamming was.
When pressed for information, the only person who had anything to show me, Munke, showed me something turned out not to be true.
When I decide to be someone's friend I will give them the benefit of the doubt unless shown otherwise.
I would expect that you're the same way.
If someone siad a lot of nasty things about someone you consider your friend wouldn't you defend them?
At least until someone showed you otherwise?
I'm not asking for definitive proof (I doubt there IS such a thing), but all I hear are accusations without anything to back them up.

You can understand why I wouldn't jump ship at this point can't you?

You say you know people who have been scammed out of a lot more money than I may know about.
So should I just believe you, like the "sucker" everyone I don't know seems to believe I am, or should I believe what I've experienced and known (in whatever limited capacity) for two years?
She and I have worked on music projects and art projects in the last year.
You and I have not.
I don't give her money (I have in the past, but not much).

And if I was duped, how do you know this?
Really.
How would you know?
Do I trust Tuesday beyond all measure?
No way.
Is she someone I'm willing to stick up for when she is accused of something no one has any eveidence of?
Yes.
Do I believe everything she says?
Nope.
Do I believe everything you say?
Nope.
Do I believe EVERYTHING my wife of 20 years says?
Um.
To be honest, nope.

Now, did you really mean this:

I think you were being disingenuous.
If you'd like to have a constructive dialogue in which we perhaps disagree, let's at least try to be honest.

I have been trying to figure Tuesday out for a long time.
I have given up.
Yes, she is my friend, but there's a lot that doesn't add up.
That doesn't mean she is out to take advantage of people, but I do think that she reveals so little of herself online that everyone enhances their view of her with their own fantasies and get very upset when she doesn't live up to them.

Meh.
So it is.
I choose to stand behind my friend.
And until someone can show me differently that's that.
