You’re funny. That was funny. You can’t figure out enough ways to nail me

I am, in fact, a complete funster. But I wouldn’t nail you with a twelve foot plastic dick and a gross of condoms.
Recall, please, that I have already explained to you that non-sequitur responses indicate someone who (a) has nothing to say (or nothing else to say) but (b) lacks the self-discipline to just drop the subject and walk away.
Is any of this sounding at all familiar?

So it’s OK for Liberal and others to beat up on PRR. You will not take them to task for that because PRR bugs you

Wrongo. I haven’t done so because I didn’t read that part of the thread. I came in at the bet bit and read from there to the end.
I meant Pit . Is Dope a board and Pit a forum or the other way 'round? Or are both both?
[QUOTE=Jodi]
So Sarahfeena, are you saying that you can just yell at someone in some random thread? That’s really mean. What would motivate someone to do so? For that matter, what motivated you to post your last post? I will be better able to rate the validity of your point if you can explain your motivations to me. Assuming I find them acceptable, of course.
Colibri, you are being a naughty meanie mouth. Please list your motivations so that I may evaluate the legitimacy of your positon also. Personally, I suspect you’re just not functioning that well.
[/QUOTE]
At a later time, I will PM you with my motivations for delaying in explaining my motivations to you at this time. I would right now, but let me tell you some reasons about myself as to why I can’t do so: I am feeling verklempt, plus I’m going to go have sex with my wife.

I will wait by my computer for your PM. Wake your wife first this time; you know how mad she got at you before.

[QUOTE=Jodi]
People’s motivations are none of your fucking business. And you assumed their motivations in the worst possible way, by calling them"vultures" etc., so don’t pretend you were sincerely inquiring. If you had been, you would have asked first and judged after.
[/QUOTE]
No, I’m asking about motivations. But we’ve already established the issue with ‘sin’ versus ‘sinner’. Consider ignorance fought. I didn’t think that people didn’t make the distinction.

Why, yes, indeed, Jodi, despite all evidence to the contrary, I insist that people randomly flame out at people in all kinds of threads, without any repercussions at all. And I find this totally acceptable…in fact, desirable. And my motivation for this is that I am a mean old bitch and love to yell at people. Thank goodness I found a board where they will let me get away with it willy-nilly.
I’m off to MPSIMS to find an enemy to flame right now.

Just trying to say that I kind of thought ‘Isn’t it kind of mean to attack people personally’ would be answered by a group ‘yes’ the way it would be if I asked ‘isn’t it kind of mean to kick puppies?’.

What you did is the equivalent of entering the Coliseum in ancient Rome and lecturing the crowd about the sanctity of human life. Yet, you seem confused as to the significance of that guy in the dress with the leaves on his head pointing his thumb at the ground, and you haven’t quite grokked that those lions ain’t gonna lay down beside you.
I have a cold, so at the moment I don’t even want to think about having sex with your wife.

The SDMB is a board, and the BBQ Pit is a forum of that board. At least that’s my terminology.
Many posters live happy and fulfilling “words on a keyboard” lives on the SDMB without ever visiting the Pit. Just a thought.
You meanie. I think I might send Jodi a PM about you.

[QUOTE=Quiddity Glomfuster]
Thanks very much for this. This is the bit I don’t get. And I don’t get it because it’s not the way I work and I figured I’m more or less a regular person and so that others would work the same way I do, which is if you hear a group being remarked-upon and you don’t belong to the group, you ignore the remarks. But you’re saying that most people don’t.
I guess I’m not often in situations (can’t think of any, really) where that would happen so that I could observe peoples’ reactions or discuss them with them to know that they took offense in these situations even if they aren’t involved. You’ve given me food for thought; thanks much.
Just trying to say that I kind of thought ‘Isn’t it kind of mean to attack people personally’ would be answered by a group ‘yes’ the way it would be if I asked ‘isn’t it kind of mean to kick puppies?’.
That was great. You explained very well. Again, thanks very much. I see what it was that I wasn’t seeing about my remarks. Still have to work on that other thing.

The best example I can offer now comes from my own personal experience… I used to play softball (as a matter of fact, it was the heartbeat of my life) and our coach usually even got pissed if we won. Which is another story in and of itself. But anyway, our ‘after game’ talks typically had her deriding us for something/anything. And the absolutely most motherfucking annoying thing ever, was she’d say shit like; “If y’all aren’t going to give this 100 percent. If you don’t want to ever try, why are you here??” and it would hit those of us that gladly labored through 4 hours of practice weekly and played under insane conditions (broken limbs, missed weddings or funerals, etc.) as quite a slap in the face.
Perhaps the first time we could forego what she said as so much anger delivered that she really didn’t no what happened to her aim, but game upon game, week upon week, for freakin’ years just meant that she really didn’t care enough for how much effort was put out when she was pissed. All attempts to get her to realize this (like after an extremely talented player would quit), fell on deaf ears. And truly, it only took a couple of words to rectify the situation and in turn, she didn’t even name anyone individually to acknowledge the contributions of others. However, that didn’t stop her personal attacks either. She just loved generalities on top of everything else. Gosh, me and my hubby looooooooooove me ma.

Then you’ll have to take my word for it that Liberal and others were doing to PRR exactly the kind of thing you decry when it’s done to Liberal. Behavior like that is chronic, and is why people don’t like Liberal. And you know what? Shit like that goes on ALL OVER the Pit. So if you don’t like it, it really behooves you to stay out of the fucking Pit. DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND. THIS? It’s not going to change no matter how much you don’t like it, and all the guilt-tripping and clucking at people about how wrong it is will do anything but make you sound like a disapproving, uptight, condescending snotrag who is trying to undermine a legitimate and valuable part of this board.
The Straight Dope Message BOARD. The BBQ Pit FORUM.
These are elementary elements of how this board works. It is incumbent on you to make yourself aware of these basic terms before you bitch people out about how they behave here. No one would post about the soil they use in gardening in the Pit. The Pit, as is detailed in the sticky at the top of the page, is specifically for vitriol and bile. They belong here. If you simply want to discuss cooking and gardening, then this is not the forum for you. Walk away.

First, to clarify what I meant with my very own useless examples of what does or doesn’t constitute an attention whore, I completely agree with what you’ve said. Whenever I’ve been particularly depressed (or whatever) and I’ve come on the boards bemoaning my life, it’s because I wanted a friend. Even if that meant I had to get it in a cyber way. However, I can still see how others would brand it as attention-whoring in addition to seeking help, etc. It can be both.
[/quote]
Well, at the risk of another drubbing, my question about that would be ‘so?’. As in why would anybody care? (again, just a question). I don’t know why someone being like that would get others infuriated to the point of vituperation. Just totally confused about that, me.
Gotcha. In that case, I was just tossing it out. I didn’t mean it literally. I gather you’re telling me that people take things pretty literally. Or some people. Or most people?
I’ll be along in a while. Seriously, thanks. I wasn’t able to don others’ eyes here so I appreciate very much you lending me yours. It’s been extremely helpful.
