Oh my god you’re all so ridiculous. I cannot believe you are defending this woman. Did VCO3 say something inaccurate? She is fat. She is dumb. She is an attention whore. If she killed my puppy and I pitted her and called her a fat puppy killer I bet you would all jump down my throat because IM BEING SOOOO MEANNNNN. Yeah lets just go easy on the people making a mockery of real victims and jump all over VCO3 because he’s ranting. And isn’t announcing that you are going to feed a troll just the same thing as feeding a troll? ---

[QUOTE=lissener] You blew it. Coulda been a great pit thread. Instead, it’s just another example of your bizarre self-destructive behavior in this forum. [/QUOTE] He didn’t blow it. The thread’s about an attention whore. You just thought it was about the woman in the linked article. ---

You know, I was coming here to post about the same thing-well, at least the fact that she’s exploiting a hideous tragedy for her own personal reasons. Only to see that **VCO3** has, yet again, stepped in a big pile of decaying maggot shit. Well done. Well fucking done. Tell me, dude, if she was slim and pretty would you still have pitted her? ---

If he’d stuck to insulting her simply for being a fraud, this pit thread would have gone a lot better. Instead, he pretty clearly linked being fat to being a loser (Which is going to offend any fat people reading. And we are on the internet here, so that’s a large demographic in more than one sense.) and linked having a Southern accent to being stupid, which is naturally going to piss off anyone reading here from the South. (Which, despite the stereotypes, is also a large demographic.) That last bit is particularly egregious since, as near as I can tell, there’s no evidence in that article that Tania Head is, herself, Southern. ---

First thing I thought when I saw this thread was, “you’re far more critical of Giuliani than I am.” I mean, he’s clearly got that late-middle-age paunch, but _geez!_ But this part fits: > [@](#): > > Because this is clearly someone with mental problems and someone in need of attention to…make up such stories. 😃 ---

Let’s say that Tania Head was black, and in the course of pitting her, the OP called her a “dumb nigger.” Should any black people reading the OP just remind themselves that they aren’t dumb, and let the slur slide?
