There is a whole history of that sort of stuff. Again cite? BG may have a tendency to line up in lock step with the left, post links to long articles with very little commenting and over use rationalWiki as a source, but I honestly don’t recall any of this degree of invective coming from him, particularly out of the blue like this. Its not like he’s Der Trihs. If he does this all the time I must have somehow missed that and would like to know what I missed. Otherwise put up or shut up. ---

Since you asked so nicely… No. I don’t give flying fuck whether you believe me or not. If you haven’t seen him do this type of stuff, you missed it or weren’t paying attention. This is the Pit, not GD. ---

Well but part of the deal there is, hyperbolic invective against someone in a position of power who has been and continues to be a deleterious political force may be crass and offensive and socially unacceptable, but some would say at least it’s going after him. Saying we want his ex wife raped to death (apparently connected to how she once used “rape” to mean rough unpleasant sex with Combover Boy but later walked it back) seems to be just shock for shock’s sake. ---

That makes it seem like the comment is a bit of rhetoric, something quite common online. Of course that sort of shite is “quite common online.” That certainly doesn’t make it appropriate. ---

Brainglutton has over 73,000 posts, an average of more than 16 per day. He will say anything that comes into his mind, including all sorts of shitty one liners that are completely unfunny and often in terrible taste. I wonder that he hasn’t been called on it more often. Honestly, dude, if you’re reading this, just because you think something doesn’t mean you have to share it with the world. I honestly wonder what he does for fun. He doesn’t seem to have any interest in movies, music, art, food, socializing, physical activity or anything other than spamming this board. I’ve always been curious about him. Even\*\* Der Trihs\*\* had his video games and obscure sci-fi novels. ---

> [@Fotheringay-Phipps](#): > > BTW, FWIW, here’s my theory as to the reaction (in aggregate, that is, not that of any specific person). > > I think it’s at least in part a sort of what one might term “political correctness”. Specifically, it’s a reaction to the notion that there is a “rape culture” in which rape is tolerated to an extent to the point where people find actual rape to be less serious than other crimes. And people’s reaction to this is to effectively declare rape to be off-limits as the subject of humor - even where other horrible fates are acceptable - since any such humor is associated with the notion that actual rape is humorous. You seem to be saying that liberals find rape offensive - but for the wrong reasons. ---

I don’t recall seeing rape jokes from him before, but I’ve gotten heartily sick of his “Lolz buttsecks!” jokes in threads relating to gay rights. Not as over-the-top offensive as the one that inspired this pitting, but still juvenile and off putting, especially taken in aggregate. ---

> [@Jimmy\_Chitwood](#): > > I guess I must be thinking of somebody else. I have this vague recollection of a couple of instances of extremely cringey rape/Hitler/dead baby types of jokes totally out of nowhere. Maybe you recalled the time someone started a Pit thread about a Holocaust denier attacking elderly Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel in a San Francisco hotel, and **Brain Glutton** decided it was the perfect occasion to make the following comment: > [@Brain Glutton](#): > > I think (Holocaust) denial is more the work of antisemites and white supremacists who resent the amount of guilt-weight the Jews, and particularly the Israelis, have been able to milk out of the Holocaust. > **[Elie Wiesel attacked in San Francisco](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=407808)** > > I’m not even going to bother with expletives - this thing pits itself. Some holocaust denier attacked Elie Wiesel at a conference. There’s just so much wrong here that I don’t know where to start, except with my fervent hope that this jerk has an...

Well, like what? The only sort of thing about being tortured to death that I can recall here has to do with criminals, or accused alleged criminals. (Which I’ve spoken against from time to time.) I’m having a hard time thinking of politicians and celebrities that are routinely wished to be tortured to death by posters here. Perhaps you can refresh my memory. ---

He does, from time to time, post something absolutely disgusting and horrible. He’s a prolific enough poster that I’m not going to bother to wade through all his posts to find the every couple or three month posts that have made my eyebrows go up. You can either take my word for it that he does so or not. I don’t really care; I know what I’ve read. This one, however, did more than make my eyebrows go up. This one is despicable. You can defend him for it if you like; I don’t really care. I know what I read in the Trump thread, and it’s despicable. ---
