If you wish was to be labeled an idiot, well, here you go:

You're an idiot.

In this thread you make the essential jerktrollish post followed by the "I was being sarcastic" explanation. That's not original, son.

Since you won't be here much longer, would you mind answering something, please?

Why do you bother? Why go through registering and everything just so you can proclaim your ignorance to the world? What kind of validation do you get from that? I'd think that, if I was a moron, I wouldn't want everyone to know.

Maybe you just like getting any response--even if it's negative. If so, more power to you. May your efforts result in ostracism wherever you go.

Maybe you like the anonymity of a message board where you can spout things and run away. If that's the case, then, why do you put your picture
online where, quite possibly, someone may recognize you?

The name of your website seems pretty appropriate, though:

http://www.drunkenlosers.com

My recommendation is this: Go see the movie Animal House. There's a scene where Dean Wormer is addressing several of the Deltas in his office. Pay close attention to what he says to Flounder.

He's speaking to you.

I have nothing witty or new to say, but I do want llamasex to know that I think he's an asshole.

Why, you ask?

Well, maybe he'll realize that comments like that just aren't welcome here, no matter what forum you're in. Then again, maybe not, and the e-mails sent to the mods and admins'll do some good.

Why are you wasting your energy, Rysdad? He's obviously a troll. The only thing that has me wondering is the fact that he registered 8 months ago, and has only 23 posts, 6 of which were in the thread you mentioned. He's one of our Long-Term NewbiesTM, and he hasn't got past his "fumbling around like a jackass" phase. I'm sure the mods will either smack him around a bit, to knock some sense into him, or (more likely) they will just kick him out. Let's move on.

Can someone please provide a link to trollish behavior from llamasex? Because apart from his borderline assholery in the cited thread, I ain't seeing none.

I have no shame in what I said, I stand by it, Hell proud to say it even.

If you want my address it is deleted by UncleBeer you can come by and visit for all I care (actually you can't because I am about to go...), I'd post my #, but I am about to head to Vegas so it would do no good.

I'm not intending to defend llamasex, per se, but I do think that he's being unfairly jumped on for his very tasteless joke in the Jehovah's witnesses thread. How was his remark qualitatively different than any of the Challenger jokes, or any other black humor? Obviously it wasn't particularly appreciated, but seeing humor in tragedy does not automatically make him an asshole. One can even imagine his original remark being directed towards the parents in a kind of "be careful what you wish for" sense.

Of course, maybe he's just a prick troll. I dunno. But it's all too easy to misjudge the mood of a conversation, particularly an on-line one, and well-meaningly make a truly horrifyingly inappropriate remark.

While I think llamasex is being an asshole troll and should be banned, I don't want him dead or hurt IRL. Isn't it a bad idea to have his personal info posted here?

Why won't he be here much longer? Did he do anything that violated the terms of service the SDMB has set up? Is the criteria for being kicked off the boards simply not being liked by some people? I know you don't think he should be kicked off because you found what he said offensive. Here's a few other quotes from the same thread.

My mistake. I thought you were the type to cloak your idiocy, but I was wrong. Instead, your parade it for all to see. How noble of you.

No, son, I'm not going to list my name and address--mainly because there are people like you out there.

One more recommendation: Take freshman English. Your high school did you a great disservice.

I also am not a troll, I just refuse to be pushed around by popular opinion round here.

Ah well exactly what a troll would say, eh

I really don't care if people read my posts and decide I am a troll, find, I'd rather not have a serious disscussion with people like that anyways, but don't believe the hype. At least pick on your own if I am a troll or not, don't buy into because 5-10 other people say I am.

Sure - my address is deleted by UncleBeer. And my name is deleted by UncleBeer, and I have a degree in Agriculture. I'd give you my phone number, but I'm heading to DC for a week, so it would do no good.

Or is any of that true? What does it matter? Sharing your favorite color with us has no bearing on whether you're an asshole or not. Speaking of which, perhaps you were jumped on harshly, judged by your low post count, your name, and your comments. As innocuous as your comment might seem to you, it obviously elicited quite a response from many, reinforcing the impression of trollery. If I have misjudged you, fine. I apologize. On the other hand, if you do turn out to be a troll, I have no sympathy for the beating you will receive on this board.


Moderator's Notes: I've no idea if that information was factual. My natual caution told me it shouldn't be there anyway. Sooooo, it's not. If anyone else posts personal information, or even alludes to it, I'm gonna simply delete this thread. I don't have time for these stupid games. And they're no fun anyway.

Oops, llamasex (geez, what a great name, why didn't I think of putting "sex" after my username? Fledermaussex. Brilliant!) forgot to finish his sentence! Let me help him out:

I believe that's how he meant to finish that sentence. I'm just here to help.

I don't know if the info llamasex posted is true or not but I hope he knows that, as throatshot said, posting personal info here is not a good idea at all.

I don't really want involved in this thread but I'd like to add that I think lamasex's comment was very inappropriate, sarcasm or not. I have a dark sense of humor too but that was too over the top for me. I don't know if it's worth banning him for it, that's up to the mods. Just let him get an ass ramming here and I'll be happy.

For what it's worth, I laughed when I read llamasex's extremely tasteless joke. It may not be the cleverest utterance around here, but it's a great example of black humour.

That the OP can't distance himself enough to enjoy it, or at least ignore it, is his problem, not llama's.

Id just like to jump in here with a hearty "WELL DONE"* to UncleBeer and Gaudere for the hard work they have put iinto this thread.

C'mon, people (especially llamasex, let's use our heads here. The Mods have a tough enough jub as it is. There's no need for us to make it any harder.

So dark humor is only bad when it is slipped into a thread, but if the entire thread is dark, then that's okay?

I understand it was tasteless, I saw it as such but also got that it was a groaner, a bad, dark joke.

Can we all take a step back, realize that some folks have slightly different senses of humor and let it go? <sheesh>

While kaylasdad99 is still with us, I think we should use this time to give him the flaming he so obviously deserves.

Isn't it neat how I can continue posting even after you told me to shut the fuck up? Isn't it cool how I'm under no obligation whatsoever to accede to your request?

For what it's worth...

I can appreciate dark humor...when it's funny. I found llamasex's posts more sophomoric than funny. They were too easy and demonstrated, to me, a more childish sort of "Look at me! I'm playing with my peepee!" aspect.

Lastly, thanks to UncleBeer and Gaudere for cleaning up the mess again.

Thanks Rysdad for making this thread, so the other one can stay directed at the evilness of the parents, rather than the tastelessness of llamasex.

It seems relatively simple to me llamasex posted an attempt at humor that, in my view, was completely tasteless (at best). Inappropriate? Sure. Dumb? yep Asinine? Yesiree Bob! Funny? I don't thinks so, but others may. Is he a troll? Can't really say yet. Ban him? No way.

My post that you quoted was to show that not everything is funny, and that some posts, like llamasex's, are offensive. I wasn't actually advocating that happening to his mother. There's no reason to tell Rysdad to shut the fuck up over that.

The only thing he posted was that quote. Nothing indicating he was joking, or that he had any feelings about how horrible this was. Just a smartass comment, with nothing else.

For God's sake, the poor kid isn't even buried yet, and llamasex thinks it's worth a dumbass joke.

Ok, llamasex, you get your wish....however did you know what I wi......oh, never mind, this thread ain't about that.


but wait a sec, now that I do know what this thread is about.

Boo fucking hoo. Llamasex's black humor made the baby Jesus cry. Christ people. Grow the fuck up. Allowing yourselves to become grossly offended over something as small as this is no way to go through life. Compounding it by calling for his banning only makes you look more ridiculous than you already are. Turn off the Disney Channel and go take a walk outside.

Secondly, he ain't a troll. It was a joke. Maybe a driveby, but not a troll. Just because you found the post sophmoric and offensive doesn't make him a troll. The "reaction" he was going for seemed like groaning laughter. That's the whole purpose of a tasteless joke.

Thirdly, again, he made a bad joke, while gobear seemed serious in his wish for Llamasex to suffer the loss of a loved one. I believe llamasex deserves an apology and a retraction from gobear.

Oh, and if anyone wants to reach me I can be contacted at:

Wait a minute... 05673 is not a Burlington Zip Code... maybe everything you say is a lie... or maybe it's all true...

which is your point I think... who cares where you're from llamasex? Posturing behind your "real" address and name means absolutely nothing here. What makes you think that giving that information makes your statements any more valid? It doesn't. In fact, it just looks childish. Just an FYI.

Oh, and how come there's this mass decision that someone's a troll, and then everything about them is open to ridicule?

Am I the only one here who is shaking her head in disbelief at all of the people jumping llamasex's shit over this? For fuck's sake, what a bunch of reactionary, knee-jerking crybabies.

He has 27 fucking posts (including the ones he made trying to defend himself, I have no idea how many posts he'd made before the comment in question), and everyone's got their panties in a wad because he hasn't yet figured out how to use the rolleyes smiley. When questioned about the comment, he said outright that it was meant to be sarcastic (in a "Well, the idiot sure got what he wanted" sort of way). Why is this not sufficient explanation? If he'd used the rolleyes smiley to begin with, we'd all have understood from the get-go what he meant, and the pile-on would never have happened.

Why do y'all *continue* to pile on even after he's explained himself? Am I missing something here??

It wasn't pointless. It was directly to the point. If he wishes his humor to come across, then he'll need to at least write better lest he be miscontrued.

Yes your missing the fact that what ass-fucking-Llama said was completely inhumane and was probably one of the worse pre-meditated reactions to a described situation I have ever seen. Not only was he not thinking of the brothers and sisters of this little girl who has passed but he was not thinking about the moral implications of what he was writing. This is a horrible travesty. NO SARCASM HAS NO PLACE WHEN SPEAKING OF CHILDREN DYING BY THE HAND OF THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS FUCKED-UPNESS.

Thats why Jadis.

and RYSDAD Rock on with this bashing. he had no right to say what he did. Also the pic that you up a link to......BBUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAAAA!!!!!!!! WHAT a freak. firs tof all you want ot know what school he goes to check out the pizza from Papa Johns on the coffee table and the paper sitting right next to it. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING FUCKED-BY-A-LLAMA?

Also I am usually very very passive, but after entering the thread where YOU Llama said those inhumane things I felt I had to come in and give my two sense! ..... dick

Rysdad,

"Don't be a jerk" may be applicable in all forums, but certainly it means something different in the pit. A vast majority of pit threads are laced with profanity and call people such nasty names as "goat felchers" and worse. If IRL someone were to throw insults at me even close to some of what goes on here I would certainly think they were a jerk.

I guess what I mean is that saying "don't be a jerk" in this instance doesn't seem to mean much more than saying, "I don't like what you wrote so get the hell out."

There are many insults that have already been thrown around in this thread that qualify (IMO) as much more jerkish behavior than a joke gone awry.

Well, frankly, I agree with MGibson, in that I found the dark humor to be worth a giggle. Yeah, a bit more tact would be appreciated, and yeah, a bit more respect would be nice, and yeah, I think that, above all, it was an assholic post... but jeez, we've laughed at worse. I mean, if we allowed ourselves to get pulled down by every example of scum-sucking (in)human activity, then we become a very sorry, stressed-out, angry bunch.

But my advice to Mr. Llamasex... just apologize. There's no shame in saying "Oops, I didn't mean to piss off so many people." It's not "giving in to popular opinion." It's common-fucking-sense. And try not to piss people off in the future... subtle humor is far more amusing than the over-the-top, Tom Green style.

Nope.

Llamasex finds a child being tortured to death by her parents to be funny? In what universe is a child's death the occasion for humor?

And yes, I wish him to suffer loss so that he may learn firsthand how grief feels, just as grandparents, siblings, someone, must feel grief for that child's death.

And if you think curses work, grow up.

Uh, I'll just say this...

I searched for previous posts by llamasex, and I only found one that was "beyond the pale," as it were.

If his posts in the thread I mentioned in the OP really were attempts at humor (however poor and inappropriate), then I'll withdraw the troll label.

Some of you probably know that I have a hot button when it comes to child abuse. I worked for several years in a shelter for abused children, and as a guardian ad litem for the courts, and I've seen evidence of abuse, no, torture, so extreme as to be incomprehensible. I personally find extremely few, if any, jokes about child abuse funny.

I make no apologies for that.

Llamasex finds a child being tortured to death by her parents to be funny? In what universe is a child's death the occasion for humor?

And yes, I wish him to suffer loss so that he may learn firsthand how grief feels, just as grandparents, siblings, someone, must feel grief for that child's death.

no, I take that back, because I don't want anyone to really suffer just so lamasex can have a moral education. Perhaps he can have a truly horrific nightmare, in which he suffers great loss and through his pain he learns to be more empathetic, like Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.

And if you think curses work, grow up.

NO SARCASM HAS NO PLACE WHEN SPEAKING OF CHILDREN DYING BY THE HAND OF THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS FUCKED-UPNESS.
Ok, I'm glad that you're the end all and be all of deciding where and when sarcasm is appropriate. And do tell, what are the moral implications of llamasex's sentence? What do you even mean by that? And (keeping in line with the grammar corrections of others) didn't you ever learn not to use no double negatives (no this has no relevance on your post, but it seems that pointless insults are the name of the game).


Please tell me which of the following sentences is permitted under your strict and heavy-handed rule:
[list][*]"I wish I could throw as big a barbecue as the FBI did at WACO."[*]"At least when Hitler killed all those innocent Jews, he got the money-grubing-stingy-no-good ones too."[*]"Hey, if we nuke Afghanistan into the ground, we could take the crater, fill it with water, and in the winter we could throw the biggest ice-skating party the world has ever seen. That's reason enough for me."[*]"It sure is good that guy shot all those abortion doctors; now they won't be able to commit the unforgivable sin of murder."

(The preceding sarcasm was not authorized or licensed by Phlosphr or any of his subsidiaries.)

Go start your own thread where you can be the arbiter.

As for me, I'm done with this one. It's gone far afield enough now now that it doesn't really reflect my OP.

Mods...please feel to close this thread at your discretion.

Well, I got here too late to know what llamasex's personal infomation is. But that's ok. I know exactly where to find someone like him.

C'mon gang, we're going to the petting zoo!

(Bolding mine) Am I the only amused by the irony here? Rysdad, you :wally
Okay, hands up, those of us who were confused by the word miscontrued.

Thought so.

Hey, just like to appologize to [b]Rysdad[b] before this thread closes, if it does. Didn't mean anything in the least insulting towards you, and I'm sorry if anything was construed as such.

My response to Phlosphr was a bit rough, but I'll stand by that. Plus, it was all sarcasm

The same one that came up with the following jokes:

Q: Hey, gobear, how do you make a dead baby float?

A:
1 part Milk
2 parts Ice Cream
1 part Dead Baby

Q: Hey, gobear, whats about a foot tall, read, and can't turn around in a narrow hallway?

A: A baby with a javelin through it's skull!



Bah.

I understand now. It is perfectly ok for you to type something more offensive because you weren't actually advocating anything happening to his mother. Oh, well that makes it ok then.

The only thing he posted was that quote. Nothing indicating he was joking, or that he had any feelings about how horrible this was. Just a smartass comment, with nothing else.


So he didn't put a little smiley face in his post, yeah that makes him the biggest ass of the year.

Yep, he violated the "don't be a jerk" rule, and he posted in a trollish manner, e.g., posting something inflammatory just in order to garner a response.


This is the Pit. And as you've demonstrated you're allowed to be a jerk here. You yourself posted something inflammatory in the OP when you called someone an idiot. I guess that makes you guilty of trolling by your own criteria.

Isn't it neat how I can continue posting even after you told me to shut the fuck up? Isn't it cool how I'm under no obligation whatsoever to accede to your request?


Yes. And of course just remember that you're not a moderator and just because you think something is trollish behavior doesn't make it so. What kind of asshole expects someone to be banned for posting something offensive in the Pit? I'm curious. Did you actually email a moderator and bitch about his post?

A world where people understand what "whistling past the graveyard" means. A world where an Irish wake is an appropriate way to have a funeral.

A world where people's ability to deal with grief and horror isn't so insecure as to demand the same reaction from everyone else.
