I was going to type out a long, detailed and annotated post, illuminating your idiocy, ignorance, lack of empathy and general rottenness. Then I realized that would be a waste of time and effort. Instead I will simply paraphase a line from Barry B. Longyear:
Claude, you’re a rotten little shit. Why don’t you do something about that?
Lol, more than 150 views, and really, no one has anything to add.
I was about to defend him based on that first link as it does seem odd that a 9 year old could call and text her father but not open a door or call 911… then I read the rest of the posts and the WTF is strong with that poster.
I think he may be a character in Law and Order SVU.
stpauler, the problem I have with that first post is that it seems based upon the assumption that a 9 yo would recognize that a car running in a closed garage is a deadly threat. IMNSHO that’s not a valid assumption. And carbon monoxide toxicity is one of those killers that is damned hard to recognize from symptoms, if you’re not already aware of the risk.
You’re right. The girl sadly knew something was wrong but she might not have known how to fix it (or maybe she was just worried that mommy was passed out drunk watching Napoleon Dynamite).
I like peanutbutter and bacon sandwiches.
You monster.
I read that one thread, and had constructed a pretty sympathetic narrative around him. Single parent, extremely limited opportunities to socialize, takes up with blowhard neighbor, a sort of compromised friendship because, hey, who else is going to wander over with a six pack, or be available for a conversation at 9 at night across the hedge. Then someone linked to the, you know, that post. After that, I just quit reading.
Truth be told, “that” post doesn’t strike me as all that shocking. It contains details meant to shock that were not necessary to make his intended point, and his endless effort afterward to explain and re-explain didn’t help.
And I agree with Cesario about the Borg Queen.
This being the BBQ pit and all… I want to. I want to move past that day that solidified my persona here as a piece of shit.
Will a mod please think about moving this to a forum that will facilitate my request to let everyone know that the comment in question, while truely fucked up, was just random shocking shit?
The posts that followed I really did mean. I think it’s ok to have fucked up thoughts. and I believe that many of of us do have sick shit in mind at all times.
I’m a jaded, cynical, hatefull, loathing, depressed, atheist…
However I’m also a loving, caring, thoughtfull, giving, warm father.
I’m not a murderer, rapist, or pedophile. I let my keyboard overload my ass and I’m sorry. I apologize.
If this isn’t good enough for y’all then please suck a bag of dicks and choke on em.
[Facepalm] Claude you do realize that the last line in your post make the whole apology moot?
Seriously, had you left out that last line, I’d be willing to put you in a better place in my mind. But you didn’t so…
That’s what I love about a good pitting, it brings out the best in people.
Hey, different strokes. I thought the last line was just right. Mr. Remains’ post was an explanation, not an apology.
And if you explain something to the best of your ability and people still want to dwell on it, you can either repeat your explanation wearing sack cloth and ashes or you can move on. The last line said he was moving on.
(But it will be a long time before I can read one of his posts without some bias against the guy.)
Claude, yanno, I’m almost sorry I included that last post of yours in this Pitting. It was a cheap blow, and I’ll admit that.
What appalls me far more than a single incident where you were admittedly and pretty obviously looking to play the shock jock is your whole attitude in that thread about losing your best friend. You had this guy, whom you claim to have known for year. Said guy was, in your own testimony, a misogynistic shit who saw nothing wrong with threatening violence on any woman who caught his ire - and who would routinely make predatory sexual comments about women in your presence.
And all of this was hunky-dory in your mind until he dast mention your daughter with his normal schtick. At which point you went nuclear on him.
I can see two possible, and mutually exclusive explanations for your reaction. Either you had been tolerating his alleged humor because you knew nothing would come of it, and felt that he’d crossed a line by involving your daughter; or you believed him to be completely sincere in the line he was talking, and only found it offensive when it was directed at someone you gave a shit about. Ignoring your toleration of the verbal misogyny for the moment (which is enough to earn you a Pitting all by its lonesome.) if the first scenario were the case, you’ve shown yourself to be a hypocrite of the “can dish it, but can’t take it” variety. If the second scenario were the case, your toleration of what you seem to believe to be credible threats of violence towards other underaged women turns my stomach.
That you then, less than a week later, are making disparaging comments towards a nine year old girl, implying that you were judging her for a failure of understanding a fairly subtle threat to life and limb as if she were an adult pissed me off further. As I explained in post #5 in this thread I think you were jumping to conclusions that cannot be considered warranted. Further, based on your performance in the thread about your former best friend - and illuminated by your shock jock comment - I interpreted your post in that other thread as being an attempt to milk a tragedy for personal amusement, by demeaning a nine year old child.
In short, I believe you have shown yourself to be the sort of ass who views the vast majority of the population to be here solely for your amusement, their suffering unreal, and suitable only for mocking and derision. Believe it or not, I don’t think this means you can’t be the loving father you call yourself. But it does emphasize to my mind what seems to be chronic theme through all your posts: There are standards you use with the few people you are personally close to, and then the rest of the world can be treated as your punching or joke bag.
ETA: Which only seems to be confirmed by your own post in this thread.
OtakuLoki, I’ve held you in high regard since I first noticed your posts. Posts like #16 are why. Very well said.
Um, wait. You can get them by the bag?
Any way you slice it, the friend is history and that should count for something.
I thought it was odd that the little girl did not open the door , get the fuck over it.
The “suck a bag of dicks” thing was added cause this is the BBQ Pit.
Not really. Somebody else will fuck and beat your daughter eventually.
