I’m not going to put up any links or anything, but in a recent parody thread of mine, I offended you. I made you to feel that I thought you were stupid, and that I was smarter than you. I was paying so much attention to making sure that the thread was properly paralleled that I ran roughshod over you and your concerns.
I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart. And I want you to know what I really think of you. I think you’re a bright and witty contributor to Straight Dope, and I think some of your posts are the best I’ve seen in my three years here.
I know that my passion can make me come across as unfeeling, but I’m not. When I break someone’s spirit as I did yours, my own heart is broken until I can make amends.
I’m also not as intelligent as you make me out to be. If I were, then my company would be making a lot more money than it is. Besides, I’m one of the few Dopers without a college education, so I’m probably in the lowest ten-percentile anyway.
I do apologize. And I’ll carve a special place for you in my memory so that I don’t hurt you again.
It’s in the Pit because that’s where the offense occured, and because I believe that Jarbaby deserves a public apology in the place where she was publicly humiliated.
Given the proliferation of oh-so-subtle, unlinked parodies of late, I wasn’t sure whether this was sincere or a parody itself. I’m pretty sure I have not been whooshed, in which case, this was pretty classy.
Well done Libertarian.

Doesn’t your son read the SDMB? You should be ashamed! Go spank yourself! It does this whenever its told or it gets the hose.
[sub]I’m sorry. I have a thing for smart, articulate women who like wearing spiked dog collars and being told what to do. That, and I have poor impulse control. I tried seeing a psychiatrist about it. But, the power dynamics of the whole patient/therapist relationship lead to a tawdry affair that almost cost her her license.[/sub]
