DreadCthulhu what is your problem?

In this thread here HDS asked for advice on how to humanely kill a fish.

And you come up with this gem:

This is of course not the first time you have come up with stuff like that:

From here:

Or here, in a thread where Rubystreak posted that her gerbil had died:

So, what’s your deal?

Well, he is Cthulu. It kinda goes with the territory.

And to expand on that (and prove I really do know how to spell Cthulhu), he’s basically staying in character.

Yup.

Not a lot to do BUT cruise message boards, when y’r lyin’ dreamin’ in R’lyeh for the stars to be right…

The above is a quote from DreadCthulhu in a thread I had last May. I’d accidentally run over two kittens and was literally sick over it. DC, with the sensitivity of a rhino, posted that lovely paragraph. Judging by some of DC’s comments, I think he occasionally lives under a bridge.

Sounds to me more like your problem. Looks to me like DreadCthulhu’s (that is a pia name to type) “deal” is to say what it wants.

Mags, you as SO going to be one of the last ones eaten…

Most of that was hyperbole I believe. I wouldn’t express myself that way, but that’s how he chose to do it. It wasn’t in the fluffiest, cheeriest, best of tastes, but not everyone chooses to communicate that way.

There are some very perky and sunny people who post on this board, and some downright curmudgeonly grumps. This place has all kinds of personalites. That’s why I like it. There’s even a place for people who choose to post “in character” often, or others who are more “no frills” types.

I’m “on the fence” with this otherwise. I wouldn’t have said things the way he did, but I’m not him. At the same time, with at least one of those comments, I can see that it caused upset. (Though I don’t believe he meant to cause pain like that.) He’s already been pitted for one of those comments I believe…

What I don’t understand is why he feels the need to post in threads where someone asks for advice with useless stuff like that.

Nothing wrong with adding a bit of levity at times, but is it really necessary to play off your username in most of your posts? Ok, ok, we get it, you’re “the” DreadCthulhu. You so bad!

Normally I like DreadCthulhu’s posts, but those are out of line. Playing a role doesn’t excuse being a dick.

I think it’s all bullshit. I asked Great Old Ones at bingo tonight and they’ve never heard of him.

I like the taste of small animals. Why do people stick to just eating certain types of fish, cows, pigs, chickens, turkey, sheep, long pig, goats, ect, when there is a whole world of other critters out there for eating, many of them which are available within their own back yards or even within their houses??

You going to address the OP?

Agreed. The “I’m Cthulhu! No, really!” schtick is getting a little old. Maybe you could tone that down a little, huh DC? And while you’re at it, maybe try not to be such a bastard? Just a suggestion.

The OP asked “What’s your deal?” - and to clarify my post above, I am trying to encourage people to broaden their horizons on what food they eat. Simply throwing away dead/injured pets is such a waste when they can be eaten.

What about people, Cthulhu? Giving up on us all ready? :smiley:

Well for what it’s worth I think that rather than berate ** Cthulhu ** it may just be as well to stay in his good books.

You never know when you may need him

It’s cuz he’s evil.

I dunno. On the one hand his posts seem fairly harmless to me. A few were amusing in the begining.

On the other this isn’t quite the right board for roleplay. If I constantly typed in ole English with thee’s and thou’s people would be all over my case in a second.
