You guys are sooooo mean!!! Don’t you realize – you’re all so prejudiced against the mentally ill!!! Thank you, thank you, **lorene** , for finally starting this thread. **BigT** and his whole kindergarten teacher schtick makes me want barf. I believe he once actually used the phrase, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all\*.” _vomit_ (BTW, **BigT** , I’m OCD too. I don’t use it as an excuse to be babied and whine about how everyone is mean to me) \*I’ve always preferred Alice Roosevelt Longworth’s version: “If you haven’t got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.” She even had a pillow with the phrase embroidered on it. ---

> [@Fiveroptic](#): > > Way to go, **lorene** , just…way to go. Because of you and your meanness to **BigT** ard, I’m very, very upset. I may not sleep tonight. ☹ Thanks to YOUR meanness to **lorene** , I’m even more upset. For all you know, she could be depressed or something. You could be stigmatizing her for her depression. Why do you hate depressed people, **Fiveroptic**?!?! > [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > He wasn’t just pontificating general defense of pedos who don’t act, but his exact words were that he’s fantasized about pumping a 5 year old “full of jizz.” That’s um, slightly different than just saying, “I’ve had those thoughts on occasion myself and I know they are wrong and as such, blah blah blah.” Nope, he puts it right out there about pumping her “full of jizz.” > > Personally, I found it perfectly cromulent. That five year old is somebody’s daughter- at least his daughter his physically an adult and not all that far off in age from a 22 year old. Agreed. I made a similar point to **BigT** about it, and got this in response: > [@Friend talkin \*\*\*\* about my daughter](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/friend-talkin-about-my-daughter/566131/84): > > It wasn’t just that he admitted to having a bad thought. If he said something like, “I’ve been turned on by prepubescent children and it’s something I’m working on dealing with,” it would be one thing. But it’s the fact that he thought it was funny and that he hangs out with people who think it’s funny to demean women like that. And the fact that he himself still thinks it’s okay to talk about a woman disrespectfully as long as he doesn’t know her father. > [@Friend talkin \*\*\*\* about my daughter](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/friend-talkin-about-my-daughter/566131/87): > > He has no reason to do so. A single thought means nothing. And if I had to point out every single time you guys talk disrespectfully about people behind their backs, over half the Dope would be pitted. > > It’s basic human nature to talk bad about people. I don’t like it, but I’m honestly tired of people only selectively noticing it. You came in with a preconceived belief about the OP, and are only using that as validation. I don’t understand why seems to selectively pick the most obnoxious people to defend. **Claude** ’s single thought about jizzing into five year olds is fine, but our thoughts about how creepy that is aren’t…because we thought them repeatedly? ---

And I know I’m preaching to the choir, but _ **it wasn’t a single thought** _. It may have been a single night of posting, but he posted the thought and then defended it over the course of several posts. It wasn’t just a toss-off. ---

Given his unusually passive nature, I don’t foresee him coming to this thread to defend himself against (clearly) a horde. He might make an appearance to keep spreading the good word, though. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > I believe he once actually used the phrase, “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all\*.” _vomit_ You know, the thing is, I agree with this. For ONESELF. So the very very first person to be listening to this rule should be oneself! You should not be lecturing other people, that’s their choice whether they want to say or not. I’m down with this Pitting. ---

This guy has been a douchebag since day 1. I’ve never pitted someone, so I hoped he’d just go away, but he’s more irritating than the usual suspects. He’s the special kind of super-loser douchebag on government assistance yet claimed to be conservative. He could, of course, get a fucking job rather than whine online all day. But that would be too much to ask.
