You know how every once in awhile there are _‘defining moment’_ posts or threads, when forever after someone will always be remembered for what they did or said at that one point in time?

**Boo Boo Foo** just had his.

61 posts since the OP and we’re all on Jamie’s side. It’s remarkable. It’s like a [fixed point in time.](http://drwho.answers.wikia.com/wiki/What_is_a_fixed_point_in_time)

Clueless twit is clueless.

Film at six and eleven.

Though I believe she has one original accomplishment here. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone start a pit thread against someone only to have no one at all agree with them in the first two pages. So she does have that going for her.

ETA: Simulpost with **Cinnamon Imp**. High five!

I read what Ambivalid said. He doesn’t seem to have done anything to deserve that kind of hate, OP. And so what if he’s talking about someone off the boards who can’t defend themselves? We talk about people, WTF does it matter if they’re not here? This isn’t a court of law, this is a place to share your thoughts and feelings about stuff. Talking about others is like 90% of what people do

I’ve seen lots of Pittings that blew up in the Pitter’s face, but rarely one so unanimous, especially on the side of a poster who may have had his own rough spots.

You can put me down also on thinking that the OP is an asshole.

It’s the conch answer of Pit threads.

It’s unlikely he’s a sock. He joined in 2002.

Boo Boo, you are clearly a Foo!

Did you not glean from the negative feedback you were getting and the way the mod locked you out of the thread that your opinion might not really be shared by anybody? Did you somehow think you could convince everybody your consternation was valid by repeating it in a Pit thread? Did you think you’d get cheers for calling out a handicapped guy? Did you think you’d get redemption for kicking a man while he’s down, giving him the occasion to rise above it?

How’d that work out for you?

Thanks for catching that, looks like the eyes are not doing so well either.

Ambivalid did call BBF a complete fucking pile of shit, and told her (her?) to shut the fuck up and to fuck off. Not exactly my definition of rising above it.

I don’t agree with her partially because of her timing. I tend to give people a pass when they are raw like I am sure Ambi is now. Looking back once we heal a bit we all tend to take some of the responsibilty for a failure we did not initially see in ourselves.

I find it hilarious that the OP doesn’t know enough about **Ambi** to know he uses a wheelchair but apparently knows everything there is to know about his anger situation, how much he yells, the level of care he needs on a daily basis, who of the couple has the mental issues, that the GF is “lovely,” that she was driven away by violence–basically, he thinks he knows every little detail of the situation aside from what might be considered to be one of the most obvious ones.

OP, you’re a clueless, stupid, shitheaded, stubborn asshole who needs a liberal correction with a million pound clue by four. I’m SO glad to see this ill-advised Pitting is going so well for you because you absolutely deserve it. Fucktard. :flip:
