Why am I reading this thread?
Masochism?
I also have “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me” (Warren Zevon) as an earworm now. Huzzah.
Speaking as a moderator, he’s a gigantic asshole. But everything he’s posted here is kosher by Pit rules.
Uh huh.
So why that specific descriptor? What does being gay have to do with whether or not you think someone’s crazy?
Crazy bitch? Totally fine as an insult. Crazy fucktard? Why not? It’s fun and it’s got a beat you can dance to. Crazy Muslim? Hrmmm… Crazy Jew… eeeek. Crazy negro/gay/lesbian…
…yeh, fuck you dude. Just call her a “crazy fag” already and show the board the asshole bigot you are.

Saying “fuck you” to other posters, however, is specifically prohibited. Please don’t do this again.
No warning issued.

See, protoboard? This is what we do to people who are actually unwelcome. Problem is, they don’t give a shit.
Okay, Protoboard. I get that you’re unhappy with your life in Portland, is it? And you’re unhappy with a lot of other things also. And that’s a shame. And you feel that you’re unliked here. It could be. If so, it’s still a shame.
The thing is, you’re really not going to see a lot of “love” between posters on any message board, especially a snark happy one like this. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of that going on, it’s just that folks here aren’t great at heaping love and shit on each other. We’re better at negative reinforcement than positive reinforcement. And there’s indifference too, which isn’t as mean as “we don’t like you” but if you’re looking for “we love you”, it’s still disappointing. And those who are indifferent just aren’t all that likely to bother to post indifferent remarks in a thread.
Now, for all the rest of you fussing and fighting here in this thread, we had a way of dealing with this sort of thing in the AOL SD days. I have an acoustic 12-string guitar. I have a John Denver songbook. And I’m not afraid to use them.

Thanks for that image!
You ninja’d me.
Grotonian, if someone kept complaining about having headaches all the time, would it be insulting to suggest they see a GP?
This guy has complained about unhappiness and difficulty relating to other people for a while. There are people who specialize in helping folks with that sort of problem. It’s not an insult to suggest checking them out.
Are there Halal rules as well?
I’m bored with the current hijack. Could you lot please change the subject to something else entertaining? For instance I wonder if there are places where puzz is illegal?
Yes, but asking about them is Haram.
First Halal pit rule, don’t ask about the Halal pit rules.
Second Halal pit rule, don’t ask about the Halal pit rules.
Third rule. No pooftahs.h
Close enough.
No, we’re smug Calvinists, apparently. Whatever the fuck that means. Something to do with an old comic strip, I’m thinking.
If this is Calvinball, I’m definitely winning.
Ooo, bad luck, dude, I’m afraid that today is Opposite Day.
That’s OK, Panda Darth needs a win, too.
Don’t recall having heard of you before clicking this thread but if what has been posted and referenced here is a fair representation, then … yeah you probably should quit this forum.
The pattern you seem to describe here is someone who, possibly cluelessly, posts insulting rants with a go-to for stereotypes and broad brushstrokes, and then cries for Mommy when people call him on it.
You are, judging from the contents of this thread, apparently looking for a place where can in willful ignorance make stupid insulting comments and only receive positive affirmation in return. You won’t get that here.
Skimming your posting history I see you thread complaining that Canada won’t let you move there because you bring little value to them. Well the powers that be don’t prevent you from posting here if your only flaw is the lack of value you bring but no one will be all that warmly accepting of you if do not at least defend your perspectives with some intelligence or minimally at least in an entertaining way. Whining when called out and claiming that people informing you that you are wrong and out of line is “bullying”? That is neither. Oh and there you are, just asking questions, about if there is any truth to the ideas of Marxism being Jewish and not returning to the thread to discuss what was posted in response.
People are welcomed here if they bring good questions, bring good answers, bring intelligent arguments well expressed (especially if they are ones that challenge what people reading think is true), or are fun to read. The impression from this thread and that quick skim is that you offer none of those.
So yes, you and this board seem like a poor fit and you likely should just quit it.
Dseid: Day-um, you nailed it with eloquence. Well done. Well done!!
