Really? Even though we’ve all been trying to explain where he went wrong, but he _still_ fails (or refuses) to see anyone’s point? That would suck if he’s not normally like that, yet risks getting banned or at least piled on\*.

\*I’m starting to get the feeling that he may like that and I hate that I’m feeding into it.

Sometimes we read things we want to make asshole comments about, but it passes and we **don’t**. Sometimes we think something we find abrasively funny would be a good idea to post, but then decide “meh…” and **don’t**. Sometimes we have bad days and don’t want to listen to people bitch about their lives, either in a funny way, or a deadly serious sadder vein, but those days we ought to **stay out of the Pit**.

Sometimes, some of us feel that everyone gives a flying rat-shit about how intentionally ass-holio we can be and just decide fuck you people, this is my bag of shit and I’m tossing it out there and I don’t care if it splits wide open and hits you in your face because I want people to know I exist.

Did I say “we”? I meant he.

Ah, ah. No accusations of trolling, **StarkRM**. You’re relatively new and may not have noticed the rule before, but don’t accuse other posters of being trolls. If you have a problem with something, use the ‘report this post’ function to bring it to the attention of a mod.

As someone who lost a parent to cancer all I can say is-

Fuck you you compassionless piece of shit.

Asshole doesn’t do justice. Evil does.

Insensitive?

No. You’re just a bad person.

By that, I mean the sort of person who simply does not have value. The kind who saps resources from the earth, and makes everyone else’s life a little worse in the process, and does nothing to justify their presence anywhere.

You’re the sort of person who doesn’t _deserve_ to live, the sort of person who, if they had a single moment in which they recognized their place in the world, would kill themselves, if only to avoid consuming the oxygen that worthwhile human beings depend on. I wouldn’t wish death on you, even if it were permitted, but only because my commitment to basic human rights is universal. Nevertheless, you test it.

The fact that, days later, with perspective and the benefit of time to reflect, you still consider your own petty concern with message board etiquette important enough to derail someone else’s genuine and real crisis just demonstrates that people like you only survive because you completely lack the capacity to recognize your own utter, utter worthlessness.

Man oh man. You gotta reel it back if you want it to really sting, fellow baby. You forgot to mention “I’m sitting around waiting for the donuts to get day old” (thanks to Kids in the Hall)  
Anyhoo, I [apologized](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6020599&postcount=49) and meant it sincerely in the other thread I started on jerk clarification. I thought I ought to try and “Bookend” this thread with that.

I posted my honest opinion of you, calmly and in all seriousness. I was not aiming for some over-the-top pitfest of swear words and nasty implications of sex with yaks. Instead, I posted exactly what I think you are. You are a person without value.

That’s very nice. I’ve seen it before. Doper goes on some insane attention-whoring look-at-me party for several days, starts extra threads to extend the celebration, makes bizarre demands of the moderators (did you steal that particular technique from Liberal?), and then suddenly starts kissing moderator ass, offers an apology, and hopes everyone will say, “Oh, that’s okay. It was an honest mistake!”

I think the time for an apology was three days ago, when you could have headed all this off. It doesn’t mean much when you wait till your attention-gangbang (by analogy to “attention-whore”) dies down and then try to save some face with an apology.

Hey! That reminds me…where the heck has ol’ **Lib** been, anyway? He’s one of the most interesting posters to this board.

He, along with **Mangetout** , is [taking a break](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=306492) from posting. I seem to remember some other high-profile poster saying he/she was taking a hiatus, too, but for the life of me I can’t remember who.

Well fair enough. I’m afraid that most people would think your judgment is based on very limited information and indeed “over the top”. For instance, did you you know that I no shit help older woman get up curbs? I’ll easily jog a block to do it if I think I can be of use. Now I don’t expect you to believe me, but if you don’t then why are you so quick to believe I was the asshole I seemed portrayed to you last post? I won’t bother to predict how much this would mitigate your opinion of me at all, I’m just saying: you don’t know me. Your words have too little sting for me to be kidding myself here.

Please excuse one final use of my sig. I generally only use it as a “good luck charm” but I’ve felt extra need lately.

In real life you may be a good person, but this is the internet. If you hurt someones feelings, you are an evil bastard, spawn of satan. Here the worst thing you can do is be insensitive or rude. No doubt, in Excalibres mind you have made Hitler look like a saint. You should probably be in prison and thinking about the wrongs you have committed. The kind of person you are is usually only found among comic book super villians. The injustice here is that we live in a society where someone like you is allowed to walk around a free man.

**Carnal** , you’re just pissed because you didn’t get in on the ground floor of the **Scylla-BobNewby-Weirddave** controversy. I’ve seen this kind of copycat behavior before, and recently too. It always backfires.

You’re wrong. I’m not pissed off at all. Unsurprising, since you have decided to not believe my stated motives you have only your instincts to work with. Salty turf indeed.  
If you’re wrong about this, what else could you be wrong about?
