You certainly do have a graceful way of accepting compliments.
I think you’re a liar too. You lie almost as well as your mom lies in bed while I’m fucking her in the ass.
Liar.
The funny thing is that, after my original post, I did a couple of searches and found one thread where Giraffe was lamenting the fact that posters frequently assume he is a she. 
Doesn’t he, though?
He strikes me as a man in dire need of a big old glass of Calm The Fuck Down, personally.
Was this really necessary?
All right, so I do react with a lot of anger, and for that I am sorry and apologize to everone I blew up at. But do you think the anger comes from nothing? One stupid psychologist wanted me to take up painting to affirm my self-worth and feeling of usefulness. Imagine, sitting in a class at the community centre next to an old lady with her paints in a macrame bag who calls me “dear” and paints atrocities whose trash value is exceeded only by my own tacky creations. And other shrinks were equally useless. They don’t understand fuck-all.
But I am not even allowed to say that because Giraffe has decided that I am lying when I say I went to see a lot of shrinks. And I cannot discuss my personsl feelings or do something called “trolling” (whatever that is) because it will get my threads locked and get me banned.
So Mellivora, if you are truly interested, you are welcome to email me at valteron8@hotmail.com Sorry my email is not posted with my profile but I don’t know how to add it. I am not a computer “illiterate” but I move my lips 
That way I can end this thread and I can leave these people alone. I am not looking for sympathy, BTW. I have always said, if you want sympathy, look in the dictionary somewhere between “shit” and “syphylis”. 
Since my Mom is dead I guess that would make you a necrophile, right?
Honestly? I think it comes from almost nothing. Getting this infuriated because a psychologist suggested a hobby that doesn’t appeal to you suggests that you desperately need some tranquility. But your hostility toward suggestions on how to achieve tranquility make it unlikely anyone is going to try to help you achieve it.
This is untrue. You might not be able to say it and be un-challenged, but that’s a far different phenomenon. You can say it all you want.
Sez who?
Calm down, man, and learn to laugh at yourself.

Surely you know that the reason we have free speech is not because the stupid old constitution sez we gotta, but because it’s better for speech to be free unless there’s a reason for it not to be. There is a difference between saying you have a right to do something, and that you ought to.
Why do you not go with the psychologist’s suggestion?
I don’t expect my problems to go away immediately after starting treatment. Sometimes I don’t understand my problems that well. For instance, I am now on speech therapy. The therapist asks me to repeat a paragraph slowly over and over again. But I do it even though it sounds dumb. Why? I have faith in what she’s doing.
If you want speedier resolution, maybe you get to a psycharist and ask for some medicine to tide you about.
Do you have an issue with authority before?
First, people has asked for help here, even psychological help, on the forums. Perhaps choosing GQ was wrong; MPSIMS is a better place. Second, why the heck don’t you say this when you said you have tried lots of psychologists? And when Giraffe said he does not believe you, why not state the help you have gotten before? Why just fly of the handle when people suggest seeking medicial help? We are not mind-readers or anything. We aren’t supposed to know “any better” when it comes to your situation.
Second, IMHO you are over-reacting. You are making a big deal out of everyone is saying. Only mods have official capacity to tell you what you ought to do and what not to do. If you have started a thread explaining your problems and how you would like suggestions and help, I don’t see why anyone shall stop you.
Ever hear of “sarcasm”, Uvula? You will find it in the dictionary somewhere between “sap” and “stupid”.
You honestly believe that poster was complimenting me for using the word “bottless”? Were you born naive or did you have to study for it?
You are allowed to say whatever you want. It’s important to dra a distinction between what a moderator says AS a moderator, and what a moderator says as a member. Unless a mod gives a clear indication that he or she is acting as a mod, assume s/he is posting as a member just like the rest of us. Which includes being able to say you’re lying.
It’s subtler than that.
The poster may have been insulting you. But he wasn’t insulting you for using “bootless”; he was suggesting that your usage of this arcane word amused and entertained him. He may have been implying that this was the only noteworthy aspect of your post, which is an insult; he may also, by suggesting that its use immeasurably increased your stature, have been implying that your stature was very low to begin with.
What he was almost certainly NOT doing, however, was mocking you for using big words. Had he been doing so, he would not have used “stature” and “immeasurably” in his post.
He may not have been insulting you: he may just have been amused and pleased by reading the word “bootless,” and not had anything else to say.
In any case, your reaction was off-the-mark and over-the-top and arrogant. Do not do yourself the honor of thinking you’ve got the most advanced vocabulary on this forum. If you’re not clear why, look up “hubris”: you’ll find it in the dictionary somewhere between “horse’s ass” and “humiliated.”

You do your own case no good by misrepresenting the situation, whether because you are deliberately telling an untruth or whether you are simply incapable of reading for comprehension.
You are allowed to say whatever you wish on the topic of your having engaged the services of the psych community. Giraffe expressed skepticism regarding your claims, but you have not been ordered to refrain from making those claims.
You are certainly allowed to express your personal feelings. In one specific thread, you opened a discussion of a particular act, then used your personal experience to argue for your viewpoint in a way that conveyed to nearly every reader who responded that you were suffering depression and looking for justification to commit suicide. You have several options in this matter:
- you can open a thread in GD or IMHO that discusses the ramifications of suicide and whether society should take action against those who attmpt it. This will be permitted.
- you can open a thread in IMHO or MPSIMS that permits you to vent on the utter ennui of your life. This will be permitted.
(It was only your linking of those separate types of threads that was closed because we do not wish to see posters encouraging other posters to suicide. We need the 15 bucks.)
The only accusation of trolling has been lodged by a non-staff member as a hypothetical. The fact that you have conflated several separate issues indicates that you are much more interested in simply ranting around showering everyone with your anger than you are with having an exchange of ideas.
You have (by malice or a failure of understanding) made several accusations against the SDMB or staff and have repeated them despite the fact that others have corrected your errors. If you simply want to be mad, have at it, but you look pretty silly making false chharges against people when everyone who can read the threads knows that they are false.
Of course. I just happen to think that in this case, from the Reader’s point of view, there’s a reason it shouldn’t be.
And I also believe that a majority of people who use that term after they’re told they can’t talk about something in a private forum aren’t using it in the sense that you are.
I thought s/he was, yes. I thought the poster was saying that you have a pretty decent sense of humor.
I may be way off, though.
Oooh. You’re “bottless” now too? Now I understand. Life’s very difficult without a bott. Others tend to think you’re stupid, or batshit insane, or just a fucking retard. I hope you recover your bott soon. It troubles me to see someone so unhappy and filled with anger.
Er, well, yes, actually, it was a compliment, as evidenced by the use of the Smilie Face emoticon, which here at the SDMB has the connotation of, “I am aware that my remark may be taken to sound snarky, but that is not how I am intending it”.
And actually, as Pit OPs go, it’s a well-constructed OP–short and to the point, and using the word “bootless” correctly. Thus S of P’s praise, smilie-face included to say “no snark intended”.
Now as to whether the OP has merit, that’s another issue.
Perhaps Valteron is unaware of referencing “Jack-Booted Mods”?
Also, for some reason, he is reminding me of this thread
While I would say that Spectre was probably having some fun, I would hardly county his comment as a sarcastic assault. You are enjoying your anger too much to actually pay attention to what other posters say and how other posters say it.
In the other thread there was a joke (that you misinterpreted) about “suicide by mod.” This occurs when a poster either decides that he needs to leave the SDMB in a splash of his own gore or completely loses sight of how this community interacts and begins escalating his own hostility to the point where he begins to violate rules that will get him banned. I do not suggest that you are following either path, but you have expressed yourself in this thread and the previous one in ways that are congruent with posters who have eventually gone on to commit suicide by mod. You may be having a bad morning. You may be deliberately looking to be banned. You may simply be a clueless, self-absorbed individual who fails to understand others and who needs to lash out at other people as a way to combat his own demons. I also do not care, particularly. I am only pointing out this fact in the off chance that you might want to consider how you are presenting yourself.
Have a nice day.
