And just to clear things up, I live completely independently. I own my own home and have lived alone for more than a decade. I’ve had periods of cohabitation (one in particular spanning two years) during relationships. ---

Boo hoo Boo Boo … bye bye. But beware bounceback? iiandyiiii why are you against free speech?! 🙂 Did not read the original thread. No idea why the woman ghosted him. Do understand why being ghosted would suck, especially this sort of ghosting, even _if_ the ghoster thinks they had good cause. Do, as far as it is possible to make these sorts of assessments in these sorts of contexts, think that Ambi is a good guy and an interesting one to boot. Whatever the other side may or may not be … sorry for your pain Ambi. ---

**Boo Boo Foo** , your behavior in **Ambi** ’s thread was atrocious. And then you open this Pit thread. Stupid is as stupid does. But it’s more than mere stupidity. Add rude, insensitive, brash, narcissistic, … just a total Fuck Wit. ---

Of course that is a thread that Ambi could have started as well. He does not take well to people abusing disabled parking spaces … ---

> [@Morbo](#): > > There’s also [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14280525&postcount=758) post, in which he mocks **Bob Ducca** ’s Pit Thread started _about_ **Ambivalid** , in which his being in a wheelchair is frequently mentioned. Granted, this was before **Ambivalid** ’s name change, so maybe he didn’t connect those dots, but in light of this thread I found it ironic to say the least: Damn son, that **Bob Ducca** really tore things up back then… Hey Jamie, we’re cool now right? ---

Oh damn… forgot about this bit: > [@](#): > > In protest of JamieMcGarry’s wheelchair vigilantism, I’ve donated $10 to the HMCC. The best part, in the “In honor of” field - I put Jamie’s name. I think it would be fun if every time Jamie starts one of these threads of his, we each donate a buck or two to the HMCC. They do good work. Maybe he’ll knock it off if we make him look like the world’s biggest HMCC supporter. You can donate here if you’d like. > > As I said in the “Slipped under the radar” thread, maybe we can raise enough for them to buy a non-wheelchair accessible lat-pull down machine. ---

> [@DSeid](#): > > Of course that is a thread that Ambi could have started as well. He does not take well to people abusing disabled parking spaces … That’s basically what I was thinking. That’s how we met Ambi in the first place. It just seems weird to me: 2004 - Boo Boo Foo advocates on behalf of disabled people when he sees a non-disabled driver blocking access to disabled parking spaces. 2015 - Boo Boo Foo mocks wheelchair-bound man over the recent breakdown of his relationship, accuses him of exploiting his girlfriend for round the clock care and ridicules him that she could do better than a guy in a wheelchair. What happened in between? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ambivalid/737174.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ambivalid/737174.md?page=10)
