Thank you for displaying your incredible ignorance and possible bigotry regarding disabilities, **Boo Boo Foo**. Somehow I’d missed it before (or anything notable from you as a poster), but now I’ll remember it next time I see your name pop up in a thread. ---

It’s almost like there are some phrases that act as verbal shorthand that aren’t literal descriptions of the exact circumstance but convey the essential information and are widely understood by English speakers. Phrases like “walked in” instead of “rolled my wheelchair in”, or “I say this” instead of “I type this”, or “he said” instead of “he wrote”. Ambivilad, if you stop posting “…I walked in…” and start posting “… I rolled in - I say rolled because I’ve been confined to a wheelchair since…”, I, for one, will roll you into a quarry and throw rocks at you. ---

Do you imagine, you are the only person of the opinion we all have _some_ ownership in the events in our lives? Well, Dr Therapist, you’re not. I’m sure you think this makes you very clever. Mostly it makes you look like an insensitive douche. However the rest of us have the humanity to recognize that the time for such observations is not while the initial shock is still so fresh. No, the time to come to such observations, is when we’ve had time to process and then reflect on events. In our own time. You made a complete jackass of yourself in that thread. Literally new heights of, beyond the pale suggestions. When you finally clued in to exactly how inappropriate it was to suggest/dictate '‘taking a run’, to get over it, you just doubled down on the stupid and blame the guy in the wheelchair for using the word ‘walked’! Are you striving to become king of the jackasses? And now you’ve started a pit thread to point out we’re only getting his side of the story. Well here’s a clue, that was self evident for the rest of us! And while he openly admits she hasn’t been formally diagnosed with any disorder, and openly states he does raise his voice in heated moments you maintain he’s attempting to paint himself in the best light and unnecessarily slag her. That he openly stated both these things makes your objections transparently ridiculous. You’re not a doctor, you don’t know, you weren’t there, this much is true without question. Also you would appear to be the douchebag all other douchebags bow down before. ( Ambi isn’t everyone’s favourite poster, he’s clashed with many in the past, but not a one of them are joining in with this bullshit story you’re telling yourself and trying to convince us of! For good reason, they’re not jackasses like you!) Now go away! ---

When I was in high school, ‘Boo Foo’ was slang for ‘butt-fuck’. Seems the OP has an appropriate user name. ---

I wonder what the odds of the OP experiencing a “hey, maybe _I’m_ the asshole” moment are? 10-1 against? 50-1? ---

From the idiot who can’t tell a subject line from the author one in a private message we get this pitting. How absolutely beautiful. Rarely is moron so cleanly displayed on the SDMB. Most of the time moments of clarity muddy the distillation. This is pure, 100% grade a stupid here. Delicious! ---

This an example of a part time asshole getting pitted by by a professor of assholiness. I salute you **Boo Boo Foo** You are one giant Fuck-Tard. Possibly a lower semi-god of Fucktardedness. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Couldn’t say this in the other thread. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to say it here. > > Ahem. You’re a fucking asshole. Now go the fuck away. Agreed. I remember the OP from some music threads where he said the stupidest shit, but that was some time ago. I went back into ambi’s thread and say his name and thought “oh, no - here we go” and boy was I right. The very fact that you started a Pit thread shows how cluelessly stupid and tone-deaf you are. Please go away. ---

Is it OK to dislike both the OP and the Pitee? **Ambivalid** came across as a tone deaf boyfriend, and **Boo Boo Foo** is one seriously motivated, unstable hater. Props to **Ambivalid** for keeping the fire burning by always responding to **BBF** in his breakup thread. I didn’t read all of it, but by all accounts it really kept the drama mill churning. Fight the good fight, **Ambi**! A phonebook-sized treatise from Broomstick about why **Boo Boo Foo** is total Poo Poo Too is the icing. Like watching someone try desperately and breathlessly to explain to a Schizophrenic that the voices aren’t real. ---

> [@elbows](#): > > Ambi isn’t everyone’s favourite poster, he’s clashed with many in the past, but not a one of them are joining in with this bullshit story you’re telling yourself and trying to convince us of! I concur. I don’t think I’ve clashed personally with him but there have been moments that I thought he was being a total douche\*. But this? This is idiotic. The OP is a classic example of “I’ve dug myself into such a deep hole I might as well keep going and try to punch through to the other side.” \*\*BBF \*\*must be about mid-mantle by now. Has anyone told **Ambivalid** he’s got a pit thread? It might cheer him up. - TBF, there have been moments I thought _I_ was being a total douche. Sometimes you just can’t stop yourself. ---

Anybody else read the OP and hear **Ambivalid** ’s writing as the voice of the wheelchair guy on Family Guy? And he’s being interrupted by **Boo Boo Foo** with the voice of Moe, the bartender on the Simpsons. It starts to make sense… a little. Maybe. ---

Please go away. Sigh. “saw” his name - meaning saw BBF’s name as a poster in Ambi’s thread. Regardless of my typo, BBF is still a jerk of the highest order. ---
