Van, I can't possibly claim to know Annie as well as you apparently do, but having said that, I respectfully disagree.
If you did know her like I do you'd not only be agreeing with me, you'd be PM-ing her yourself and begging her to shitcan her 'puter following the completion of reading your PM.
I don't know too much about Annie's personal life offline. I do know, however, that she manages to hold a job and to support herself on a level which is at least acceptable to her.
There's where you're enormously wrong. No, she isn't even remotely happy with how she's managed to support herself with her job. She lives at the poverty level, to the point where she's
still relegated to owning only a bicycle. She'd like a car, or a motorized scooter. Something. Of course she would. She just can't afford one, and she can't afford to fix her former beater car, and her credit is too fucked up to allow for a loan for a new car. She sweats the money for an
inner tube for her bicycle's flat tire and she lives (last I heard, anyway) with a guy she doesn't respect, and it's as much down to financial need as anything.
She's not a whore though, don't get me wrong there. She's not selling herself to this guy. She's just in full on malaise mode, so she stays put in her dreary circumstances.
Beyond that, you're assuming she even has a life offline. Again, there you'd be very wrong. She's pretty much either at work (at a mind numbing job she pretty much hates) or she's in her cave at home, online. I don't know if she's still going to the gym or not or if she's still trying to find new fuck buddies online with those adult dating services she started using but aside from those two things she had no other offline pursuits.
I have no doubt that there are plenty of internet addicts walking around, and many of them can't do the above.

Most of those people of whom you speak wouldn't accept the poverty lifestyle that Annie lives, is the difference.
It's also worth noting that she managed to do this while moving to a city where she did not know a soul, with little more than the clothes on her back, and without the benefit of significant formal education.
Huh? She moved to New Mexico to be with her then boyfriend.
I also know enough about her to know that she has enough of an offline life that at one time she had a live-in boyfriend. Yes, I'm aware that relationship subsequently ended, but as I recall, at the time you trumpeted that as a positive development in her life.
If in fact it did ever end (I don't know), yes, it would've been a positive move forward for her. However, if she replaced that guy with nothing but more internet time then at best she traded one personal weakness for a larger helping of another.
As for her fronting, consider the following:
As velocet pointed out not long ago, the racial tone of this board has changed from the initial racial tone of the Rome message board. There was a time when someone like plznojiggs would be banned because of his nic, or when people would berate Pickle for posting a picture of Dame which obviously did not do her justice in an attempt to berate her. By contrast, mvscal and others of his ilk have now won out, and n-bombs are legitimately in play in here.
All true, but at this point who's the main lightning rod causing most of those idiotic posts?
Annie, that's who. It's her never ceasing racial obsessions and her never ending racial boogeyman act that spurs most of those people into action.
Take her outta here and the vast majority of that crap leaves with her, and good riddance. Annie is definitely not without blame there.
At the same time, there once was a rather significant contingent of African-American posters on these boards. In addition to Annie, there was, just off the top of my head, Index, Invictus, Lawman, Dame, DMA, and Chris Tucker. For whatever reason (and I'll leave it to others to speculate whether this has more to do with the change in racial tones on these boards or the hazards of board migration), all of the others are now gone. Annie, alone, remains. And under these circumstances, we all know that it's very much a part of Annie's nature to carry the banner.
Problem is, she carries a self loathing racial banner that wasn't championed by any of those others you mentioned. Like I said earlier, someone like Invictus, Index or especially Dame would want to smack Annie square in the mouth for those comments of hers I noted in this thread.
As I've said before, Annie doesn't hate you, me, or any other poster here. What she hates is the fact that racism is, sadly, still alive and well in the U.S. in 2006.
And what I hate is that she's the main proponent/practitioner of it. No, she's not upfront and trolling with it like Mvscal or Pickle. She's far more sincere with it, and it's far more damning.
This is the forum she has chosen, for whatever reason, to vent (and in this regard, and along these lines, if calling me names is what's keeping mvscal from climbing the nearest bell tower with an Uzi and picking off little children below, glad to be of service). There's also the point to consider that you made about IndyClown recently: that his only contribution to these boards has been to hit, and later be taken by, NoCal, and to post it all in these parts. Love or hate Annie, one has to admit that her contributions to these boards have been far more substantial than that.
Granted. Then again, she's now reduced to primarily being a mockery of herself. She's become a constant punchline, an iconic character in an SNL skit.
She wants you to get out of your comfort zone, and take a good hard look at the way things are, and how she and other members of her racial group are affected by those things.
Hardly.
She wants us to allow for her failings, and those of others like her. She doesn't dare step out of her
own comfort zone, ever. She just keeps trundling along, excuses falling out of her pockets like bacon grease from Ned Beatty.
Her probing questions to others?
Diversions. Strictly diversions. They're her way of moving the issue away from herself, or from a discussion that isn't going well for her. They're her means of misdirection. When she doesn't like the direction in which a topic is headed she starts asking non sequitous questions in order to change the subject.
And if she has to piss you off to accomplish that, she considers it a small price to pay.
You really don't know her, do you?
"A small price to pay"? Annie literally orgams when she's rebuked. Her goal is to be admonished.
At a minimum, I submit that Annie has made most people of good conscience on this board think from time to time.
So did Josef Mengele. Just like Mengele, she mostly pisses people off when they think about what she had to say. Moreover, the main problem with Annie is that for all her seeming curiosity exemplified in all her incessant badgering she's really not curious about much of anything. Regardless, she always has her mind made up and nothing's going to change it, before she even starts in with her questions.
Again, her questions aren't posed in an effort to learn. They're posed in an effort to spin.
Without naming names, that's more than you can say about a number of posters here.
Admittedly, again, yep, she's made herself a very obvious and effective lightning rod.
On a personal level, I feel grateful to have gotten to know Annie, if only on the limited level that the Internet provides, and I would hope that feeling is mutual.
It's far more than mutual. She absolutely worships you.
Problem is, she also worships Mvscal, Moorese, Bace and any and all other people here who are much smarter than her. She doesn't discriminate in that way. If you can slaughter her, she falls for you.
You just get the last piece of cake because you're also a great person, a decent person, a kind person, a classy guy and you love giant breasted black women.
You're her Unattainable Ideal. You're just the monolith on the mountain she admires from afar.
I am aware that it is extremely unlikely that ever would have happened but for the Internet, so I would hope that at a minimum, something good has come from the time Annie spends here.
It's fine for you, and at least on her end you demonstrate to her that there
are decent white people out there; white people without the Hidden Agenda.
So, yeah, that's fine. Problem is, it's all Discovery Channel level knowledge for her. Watching us here on the internet is hardly different for her than watching documentaries about snakes in the Outback. They have about the same amount of practical, applicable relevance in her life.
Then, just to make sure, she always balances out the good feelings she gets from people like you with a couple hours spent perusing Black Voices.com and her other favorite "black excuses" conspiracy sites.
Somewhere out there there's bound to be some story about some minority who seemingly got fucked over just for being a minority, and damned if she isn't going to find it and take it to heart before she calls it an evening.
Oh, but before she finally calls it an evening she's got to make sure to post a stupid thread about it, to feed her fire.
Gotta make sure to reload that racial loathing/mistrust, dontchaknow...
In the end she would've been far better off just turning off her computer and going outside to fly a kite. Maybe go for a walk in park. Go to a club and go sneaky fuck some chick or dude in some dark corner.
Something. Something
real, something tactile and tangible.
I enjoy seeing Annie around here.
Never would've pegged you for a sadist.
