Beginning in this thread on page 5 post#221 we have one mild jerk whose only contribution to a discussion is to pick on Lib. Fine. Then the fat ass Grossbottom comes in at post#239 and several more after that, also having had nothing to contribute to a whole discussion, there only to stalk and harass Lib.
Let me make this clear. This thread is not about Lib. Yeah he may have a bit of OCD and may even be a bit Aspie. (My guess) By his admission he doesn’t quite get some of the typical social norms. Or who knows maybe he is the attention whoring troll that some of you have concluded he is, even if I don’t think so. I understand why he’s been Pitted before and please feel free to Pit him again if you must. I don’t care. But why the fuck stalk the dude and join threads for no other purpose but to harass and bully him and goad him into something, shitting in a thread in the process. If you don’t like what he posts just don’t read it asshole. If you think he is attention whoring then just don’t feed it. Just because your name means that your are a big ass doesn’t mean you need to live up to it.
I agree, and Gross’ Warning was well justified.
I did however point out to Lib, in the thread, why its a bad idea to be revealing personal details that are better suited for PM (especially potentially embarrassing ones like mental health or medication) and I believe that’s true and it’s advice that he should stick to.
But I do have to disagree a bit. Whether it’s attention whoring or not, a poster talking about (say) their medical history and giving an in depth look into their mental health in a thread that’s got nothing to do with them or their mental health does risk turning the thread into a thread about them. Just like, if in support for one of my posts in the thread I’d started with “So while I was having sex with my wife a few hours ago…” and went on in that vein for a few thousand words in order to describe, in a roundabout manner, why I was feeling a bit tired that night and wouldn’t be posting extensively.
Some things really are better kept in PM.
Grossbottom was still a stalky jerk.
If you think I’m only a mild jerk then you’ve never had the pleasure of having me really tell you to fuck off.
You’re calling me out for one line of text, and defending a compulsive hijacker, liar, threadshitter and one-man tabloid, who’s spent the last near-decade being the authour of his own internet misfortunes.
It’s great that you think so positively of Liberal that you’re willing to put yourself way out on a limb in the Pit. You’re his newest champion! I do hope it works out well for you.
Doubt this one will even get to a second page, Rand Rover. It is pretty straight forward: bullying someone is despicable in any case; doing it through an anonymous message board is cowardly and despicable. Coming into a thread for no reason other than to bully someone is rude on top of that. It is threadshitting. Even if the subject of the bullying has annoyed others in the past or even within the thread. Again, anyone who feels the need to create another Lib bashing thread can go right ahead. This aint it though. No one is trying to claim that Lib is a poster without sin (not even Lib who states that he understands that he sometimes doesn’t get it when it comes to this interpersonal stuff and that he sometimes just thinks “different”). But that does not excuse stalking and bullying the man.
Grossbottom was probably one of those punks who snapped his belt in front of nerdy kids faces and who justifies his bullying by saying the victims “deserved it” and that he was just providing “order.”
Fat ass in name and in spirit.
On preview: oh the mild jerk shows up! Oh please do tell me to fuck off. Really. I’ll need detailed instructions to really get it right. I’m calling you out, you little snot, for coming into a thread that you had not participated in for no other reason to pick on someone. No other reason to be there at all. Just to harass. Defending or not defending Lib has nothing to do with it; he’s not on trial here. You and the bigger gob of mucous are.
So do be a good little goober and find some Kleenex to wrap yourself in and flush yourself away.
Oh, careful! She bites. Of course defending Liberal is what it’s all about. Or did you not read the totally off-topic, superfluous, self-aggradizing bit of twaddle that Liberal chose to post just upthread of my comment?
It just seems odd that a person so deeply concerned with hijackings is so very intent working Liberal’s shaft.
Oh, blah, blah, fucking blah. None of this would have happened had not Liberaltardian pulled his usual victim-card bullshit when his ass was caught out making retarded statements that he couldn’t back up. When he realized he couldn’t backpedal fast enough (hard to do with your foot in your mouth so far you’re licking your own balls), he whipped out another 30,000 word (or at least it seemed that long) [del]Daddy doesn’t love me[/del] “I’ve had problems, but I’m much better now” attempts to divert any negative consequences of his own idiocy.
Wait, no, you’re right. The Most Exalted and Enlightened One (yay drugs!!!) isn’t at fault here. It was Jeff, that fucking bastard, who shat in that thread and is so deserving of a pit thread. Asking what this stream of [del]victimhood[/del] consciousness crapfest has to do with differentiating between Christian and Jew was way out of line. That motherfucker should be taken out and beaten for daring to question the poor mental-defective who’s too frail and feeble-minded to even keep his personal issues out of a thread, let alone defend himself.
So, thank you for bringing this horrid crime against humanity to our attentions. We’ll all be more careful in the future to restrain ourselves from commenting when our resident short-busser decides that he’s on the center stage.
Some of us think that mental health issues are nothing to be embarrassed about and should be talked about in public to help remove the stigma. So, we take medications. So do people with diabetes or Parkinson’s.
Personal medical conditions are something to be embarrassed about when discussed with a group of people who aren’t expecting/asking for them. Mental illness is no different than any other type of illness. You don’t tell a group of people about your hemorrhoids, or talk about your irritable bowel syndrome or how much mucus you coughed up during your chest cold. Personal details of that sort are simply not to be shared amongst casual acquaintances. It’s no more appropriate to talk about your meds and depression (or whatever) than it is to talk about the sex you had last night or how your ulceritive colitis is effecting your bathroom habits.
Nobody wants/needs to know if you’re obsessive compulsive or what your shrink says about how you relate to people, or what have you. Not any more than they’re curious about how firm your stool is. Defecation isn’t shameful either, but the person who decides to tell other people about their bowel movements because they want to “'remove the stigma” simply doesn’t get it. The condition itself isn’t the embarrassing point, sharing it with anybody with close friends and family is.
The acronym TMI exists for a reason.
Edit: Not to mention that a thread that has nothing to do with illness (mental or otherwise) is certainly the wrong place to bring it up, let alone at length.
Of course, it does. Otherwise, any discussion of nuclear power accidents in Pennsylvania would take up too much typing just repeating the name in every post.
Three Mile Island? Hrm, radiation.
That reminds me of this really annoying infected blister that just oozing and…
Oh, and, the above “sharing it with anybody with close friends and family is” should read “sharing it with anybody but close friends and family is.”
Stupid cut and paste errors.
Amazingly I was able to read it and to respond to the pertinent part, of which there was a section, skim over the rest, and respond to the pertinent to the thread part of it, of which there was a bit in a way. It is not so hard to ignore the rest of it. Even, Bryan, for those of us who don’t feel the need to say we have big penises, I mean IQs. (Sorry to confuse the two, both are usually bragged about by those who have small ones.)
Again, I am not going to defend Lib here. And you, Jeff I labelled a only mild jerk because unlike Grossbottom you didn’t bully and stalk so much as just made the one comment. You are merely annoying and annoyingly stupid, honestly. A friggin 5 page thread at that point and the only contribution you deem worthy of making is to try to slap down another poster? By copying their entire too much information post and calling more attention to it?
For the sake of discussion let us assume that Libis a “compulsive hijacker”, an attention whore, and worse. Yeah? And the your best response to a compulsive hijacker and attention whore is to escalate a hijack and to give the “self aggrandizing bit” extra attention and responses? Exactly what kind of idiot are you?!? A hijack can only be a hijack with the complicity of doofuses like you.
If you believe he trolls or attention whores then don’t feed him! If you believe he really doesn’t get it (and I know a few people with Aspergers in particular who really act somewhat similarly, they really don’t get why they shouldn’t give so much specificity in that venue, but dayum, there are things they know a lot about!) then just ignore it and move along or try to gently educate in a PM. Either way poking with a stick (as Tom called it) and calling attention to it is stupid at best.
Anyway, for what it’s worth, I do sympathize with the Cherokee nation. I mean, for God’s sake, the beads they used to make by hand are nowadays made in Japan.
