> [@BMada](#): > > She’s pretty much making light of the situation, like oh yay my first pitting, why not get in her face about that? Why on earth would anyone want to get in her face? Haven’t you noticed that practically everyone in this thread is giving her the benefit of the doubt? Haven’t you figured out the reason for that yet? It’s not because everyone thinks that what she said was hunky-dory. It’s because she’s been here for 9 years and has 22,000 posts. We KNOW she’s not an asshole. She admitted that what she said came out wrong and tried to clarify. That’s good enough for the rest of us. Nobody else is demanding an apology. Why do you think that she owes one to you. ---

Thanks to this tortuous and torturous thread I have been lured out of my lurking status. So, I bid all readers a greeting. OP, I note that you have worked in the hospital industry. Have you ever explored the possibility that your Serotonin level is low? ---

So it wasn’t the implied racism at all, it was the challenge “go for it, big fella”? I was going to suggest you quit hogging all the stupid, leave a little for the others. But now I see you’re actually like stupid squared. “Up in my shit”, let me just say, “Hey homie, draw stumps!” ---
