Hard for me to believe BBF has been here since 2002 and I never noticed him/her before. You’d think such amazing douchbaggery would have shown up on my radar before now. And is he/she ever coming back to this thread? Just FYI **ddsun** , the number of pages in a thread is user-controlled (up to 150 posts per page I think). So for me we’re still on page 1. But I see no reason we can’t go on forever castigating BBF. Unless we get bored. ---

**BBF** is having some kind of mental issue. Look at the posting history: large lapses between posting times, then all of a sudden he goes all apeshit on **Ambi** like a piranha with a newly-minted psych degree. My thought when skimming his posts was, “Put down the crack pipe, Asshole”. ---

So **BBF** how’s your pit thread going? ---

I was willing to cut the OP a little bit of slack initially in that other thread (because let’s face it, anybody who read Ambi’s threads since the beginning could be forgiven for assuming he might have a shorter than normal fuse and maybe a bit of a temper) but he just would not let it go. Now I come here and see this crap post and I have to join in on the reverse pit. Let’s face it, leaving the way the GF did is a scummy, passive-aggressive move. Sure we only have one side of the story but while there may be mitigating factors, there is no excuse for her behavior and there is no reason to come down so hard on Ambi. You can’t castigate somebody for making psychological judgments about somebody they’ve been living with for 6 months then go ahead and make psychological judgments about them based on a few message board posts. This OP is tone deaf, judgmental and prejudiced and that is my opinion based on message board posts. BTW-am I the only one assuming that if it came down to a physical confrontation, that Ambivalid could probably beat the crap out of BBF with one hand tied behind his back? Let’s not forget that he does pull ups **with** his wheelchair. ---

You are not.

This has been the oddest experience in all my time here at The Dope. I’ve never exchanged a single world with this guy, the OP. Ever. I’ve never even seen him on the board before. Complete nobody to me. Now, my initial interactions with him came right on the heels of posting my thread, which I posted only hours after having my world turned upside down. So when I encounter this strangely hateful, vicious, insulting nobody come out of the woodwork to do his best to worsen an already terrible personal situation, _for no reason whatsoever_, I reacted with irritation and anger. However, after time to digest the encounter, I chalk it up to the fact that there’s **always** going to be rotten human behavior on display on the internet. I am not all that anonymous on the internet; at least not here. Remove the anonymity, you return the normal human inhibition of confrontation.
