Perhaps an audit of all the money donated to those in Sneed by various OSers is in order.

I don't know who you are but I love you.

This is a public service, so thank you both for stepping up. An audit would be fascinating.

To everyone who has rated; thank you also, but comments are more than welcome too. xox

I would like to point out that this has 12 likes and only two, now three comments.

What will it take for people to get it?

Unfortunately, Robin is now using two additional avatars/blogs under her command and control to boost her ratings. My post from yesterday demonstrates this:

http://open.salon.com/blog/the_equalizer/2011/06/11/the_family_that_rates_together_stays_together

Today finds two thumbs up once again coming from two blogs that she controls:

http://open.salon.com/blog/weiners_wiener/ratings

http://open.salon.com/blog/katherine_b/ratings

That's two thumbs up for her current post made under very suspicious circumstances and an easy way to help ensure your post lands in "TOP RATED PAST FOUR HOURS." We don't need any bloggers on OS "gaming" the cover.

She has three additional avatars, not two, but who's counting? xox

The true culprits are her enablers.

Agreed. xox

gaming the cover is nothing compared to grifting generous and compassionate OSers. Those that continue to support her are her next victims. Good luck with that. you know she loves you
$0$.

She's counting on their kindness. $o$

It's kind of pathetic if it weren't for the grift.

True, Emma. The grift and the character assassination, both of OSers and whoever she has scammed on the outside. Once she's milked them for all they're worth they're suddenly abusive, dangerous addicts who she was lucky to escape from. xox

Yep.

xox

I guess one must be a member of the OS club to parse the meaning certain posts here. what is a Sneed? A (Robbin Sneed?). what specifically is the Sneed's offence? Or, put more simply, what's going on? Just curious. I know that for many this is not a site to write on but one to rant on, but that said, could you be more explicit?

Indeed.

The Sword of Justice warns all to flee this psychopath. Close your wallets and your hearts. Open your eyes to the beast who stands before you, and be warned.

Perhaps instead of $, people could donate lithium.

For years the Sneed has preyed on people, both in Open Salon and out. She is a con artist and this post is simply a public service to alert people to that fact.
Sword; indeed. xox

Does lithium react well with liquor? xox

A few good searches exposes a wealth of intrigue on this character..Dedette Hardie aka Robin Sneed. Tomorrow and tomorrow creeps on at this petty pace from day to day ...

The pyramid scheme is rather interesting too. xox

Actually, Google says alcohol + lithium = depressed central nervous system, likely to pass out - somewhat dangerous. But possibly if lithium (being serious here for a moment) worked, the need for alcohol (thought of as self-medication for people with mental or 'chemical' problems) would diminish.

Anyway, I wish the whole problem here with the multiple personalities would diminish.

Are multiple personalities the problem? I'd posit that con artists and libelers are more worrisome. xox

Yeah yeah, I was just looking back at my comment and seeing that I should have said 'nasty multiple personalities'. A lot of the MPs around here are just fun.

xox

Never met anyone like her, before or since. She's a genius of sorts really. Still living on the outside and all.

"When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

John 8:7

Well there's some hubris. Someone has hacked God's OS account and is dispensing quotes with probably some withering looks? On the other hand, it might be Him which would make getting answers to prayers a bit easier if He went digital. Imagine--omnipotent servers. Awesome.

If only He could chase the spammers from the temple. xox

I thought it was "let him that be without sin cast the first stone." Not that I'm a bible scholar. Or that I trust interpretations, or that I believe the loving CHRIST was necessarily quoted correctly.

Proverbs 6:16-20
There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes,a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.


not fer nuthin there christ, but Robin has devised her share of wicked schemes, born false witness and stirred up dissension.

or is all of that ok with you since she eventually deleted the posts?

i'm just sayin...

oh, and say hi to yer mom for me...k?

Ferget it Jesus, the world has gone old testament. An eye for an eye. Stoning the full Monty. Bring out the lions.

The Old Testament does seem more appropriate; those apostles wouldn't have known Eisheth Zenunim from Agrat Bat Mahlat. xox

8 months of food and lodging, plus cigarettes, plus a cleaned out liquor cabinet, plus tickets to movies and the Dalai Lama, plus rides to places she had to go, plus all the clothing my friends gave her, minus the part of her food stamps that did not go towards high sugar treats, minus maid service that consisted of cleaning my living room and kitchen floors twice and rearranging my kitchen so that I can't find anything, minus dog sitting duties in April - not in the snow as reported, add it up, I am too exhausted.

"Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

Romans 12:19

nobody is seeking vengeance ... just truth.

Colossians 3:9-10
Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator

Whoops, now we seem to have crossed the big line, for God himself, through this Loving Christ, appears to be threatening us. How Christian of him.

Does someone have a stat counter on this post so we can see Christ's IP address? Would it surprise anyone if it were the same as these fictional family members and the published memoirist her-very-self?

I may have to go dig up those old records and put up some links if this keeps up. Does anyone wonder why she can't/won't go back to Colorado, hmmm? Or whether there are other even closer relatives by marriage out there? We've all been had, folksies. It's time to start believing only what you hold the proof of in your very hands.

*snicker*

yesh! can someone get christ's IP fer gods sake!

oh wait... what? nevermind...

Lorianne's Bible verse trumps the Loving Christ, methinks. Then there's And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. - Jeremiah 9:3

RomanticPoetess, the Sneed preys on kindness, but being kind is a good way to be regardless.

Tired, wasn't she unjustly persecuted in Colorado? That seems to happen to her a lot.

xox

CK whose legs are rarely shaven.

She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire. - Ezekiel 24:12


Old school. xox

Why remember when she wanted to have Professor what's his name fired because he is a lefty? Now that was really special.

Do you mean the thing with Dennis Loo? Beware the Sneed! xox

Yep, that one. She accused some of his friends of being a cult. How does she keep running into all these cults?

It's just bad luck, I guess; cults and drug addicts and abusers, that's all she ever meets. Of course, she's never aware of it 'til it's too late, which always coincides with the moment they realize they're being scammed.

Take care not to get Sneeded, dear ones. xox

sneed /snēd/

sneed·ed, sneed·ing, sneeds

verb: to rob, despoil, or take advantage of; to engage in swindling or confidence schemes.


xox

Wait, free booze??? I LOVE YOU POETESS!! ;D

xox

Like pretend farmer, I love you.

She chose to repay loving kindness from good people with cruelty. It gives me no pleasure to rate or comment but it needs to be said, not to hurt her but to protect those she hurt from further injury and also to protect those who haven't been used and then abused by her yet.

What was gifted to her in cash and housing could have been gifted to someone wanted to get back on their feet and might go on to help others. It's sick that she sucked all that up when so many are desperate. She hurt more than just a few.

Good for you to put another post up and keep the warnings going.

Beware,
beware of the Sneed
Evermore.

Wow.

xox

It is a shame that the gifts, cash, room and board, was wasted on her, because there are a LOT of people in the US right now that could really use the help, clothes, a home, food.
Now the ones who have reached out to help her, and have gotten used and hurt, will think twice about helping someone in the future.

I know I do already, have come across a few women that could have used a nice home, clothes, food, a jump start to life. But instead of taking them into my home to help them, like I would have in the past, I got them out of the dangerous situation and took them to a shelter.
After I left from dropping them off, I felt an aching in my heart, because I know that wasn't really ME and what I would have done.

I do hope that people will read what the her victims (ones who have stepped up) have said on the subject to heart and listen before it is too late. Hopefully more of the victim will step up and use their voices too.
Thank you for this, and like pretend farmer said I love you whoever you are..

This has been a public service message of the Open Salon Network. Thank you to everyone who came forward, on this post and others, to relate the truth of your encounters with the Sneed. xox
