Unfortunately, **AudreyK** , it’ll never happen… he just loves the attention, so he’ll never leave the pit. He’ll check in on this thread every couple of hours and giggle, rubbing his little hands together in glee at the ire he’s raised in the other posters, and feel that surge of importance that he’s denied in his otherwise dull, dreary and pointless life. Poor little guy… I almost feel sorry for him. Almost. **Phlip** , just go the fuck away, will you? Nobody’s amused, nobody cares, and you’re just revealing your ignorance and childishness to the world, just in case they hadn’t come through loud and clear in any of your previous posts. ---

And just FTR, I’m not a big fan of Calista either… I find the show annoying and it’s become even more of a caricature of itself over the last couple of seasons. I’d find Calista infinitely more attractive if she’d put on another couple of pounds, but I don’t think her attractiveness or lack thereof is worth any amount of vitriol. [sub]I’m much more a Jane Krakowski fan. My God, that woman’s hot.[/sub] ---

Lord knows they’re creepy enough – those pale white eyes, the tails that keep moving after they come off, those little sticky sucker toes that grasp at you from out of the darkness… \ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Stoid \* > \*\*But as far as saying that skinny-star bashign is equivalent to fat bashing, or even fat star bashing? Not really, folks. Neither is nice behavior, of course, but they are hardly equivalent. Each incident of bashing does not occur in a vacuum. > > Calista Flockhart is considered by most people, and certainly by the press, to be a pretty girl. She is referred to and treated as such by the show itself. It is supposed to be understood that she is considered a hottie. That is the starting point. So when some folks come along and deviate from that perception, it’s not nice, but neither is it devastatingly cruel. If Calista herself could see it, I’m sure it would hurt or bother her, but she could just go back to work, pick up another magazine, turn the page, and find herself being fawned over and held up as an example of beauty and femininity. She’d recover. > > That is NOT true of fat people, or of, say Camryn Manheim. For Camryn, it is just the reverse. The show, the press, and the average Joe treat it as a given that she is unattractive because she is fat. It is her daily experience to see jokes, mean references, judgments, etc. It is a refreshing change of pace to have someone say “Hey wait, I think Camryn’s hot!”. > > Again, not nice to bash anyone for their appearance. But don’t try to say that they are equivalent experiences. > > stoid \*\* It _is_ equivalent IMO. From everything I’ve read about Camryn Manheim she _is_ considered to be beautiful according to the press. Every time the Emmy’s come on television they always say how wonderful she looked and how stunning her dress was, blah blah blah… just like they do every other actress that walks down the red carpet. Calista Flockhart’s image in the tabloids, magazines, and t.v. shows always have something to do with her weight. You think she doesn’t get that on a daily basis? She does. Just like Camryn Manheim gets the fat comments. They’ve both probably been hearing about their weight all their lives and it’s something you _never_ recover from no matter what size you are. It hurts just the same. ---

I love when little ass kissing “wanna-be-down-with-the-IN-crowd” posters come out to bash me. Zanshin seems to go with whatever flow happens to be the most popular as he did just a few days ago in this thread. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=96574](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=96574) It wont take you long to find his comment about Oprah Winfrey and BBQ sauce. Shes fat so she may eat you right Zanshin? In fact several posters didnt seem to agree with your snide remark. And thats just on the first half of the first page.I didnt even read much past that post to find more, but I am sure there are more like that. Somewhere soon after that post I am sure that you made some sort of apology because of all the people you pissed off. Don’t wanna be booted from the IN crowd now eh? Im sure you’ll come up with some sort of lame justification about why its ok for you to “joke” like you did because you were just “kidding”. Im sure if I look through that monster thread I will find more of the people that are bashing me in this one talking shit on Oprah. Just sit down and shut your fucking pie hole you miserable wanna be. Also, a message board is not THAT important to me that I need to send my posts through a fucking spell checker before I post them. All you people that bitch about my grammar etc… can thank MS Word or some equivalent program for your perfect spelling. ---

Yeah, Ok jr8. Apparently you missed the whole point of that comment. 95% of the people that bitch about grammar on this board USE A FUCKING SPELL CHECKER.

You’re lying, **Phlip** , in a desperate attempt to cover up the plain fact that you cannot form a coherent sentence without fucking it up. It’s not about typos, honey, it’s about a fundamental understanding of the language in which you are trying to communicate. You remain a semiliterate assmonkey and a waste of good cartilage. ---

In crowd? IN crowd? You little feces-flinging dweller under bridges, if you actually thought I was part of the in-crowd (if there is even one on the MB), then you’re more of a fool than I gave you credit for. I’m not part of any clique or in-crowd here, and that’s fine with me. \ In that thread, yes, I did make a fat joke about Oprah Winfrey. I ain’t proud of it, because that’s not the kind of humor I typically espouse. I did it because I have a personal dislike for the woman, and took the opportunity for a cheap shot. That apology was already stated in the thread you referenced. And if you think that was going with popular opinion… well then, you can fuck off, little man. There’s a difference between acknowledging a mistake and going with the flow. I sincerely hope someday you can recognize that. \ Which is in sharp contrast to your pissy tone in this thread. You seem to feed on the hatred and anger you’ve stirred up from the other posters. If that’s what you need to make you feel better about yourself, then I pity you. Your response to my post just goes to show me that you’re not capable of reasoned debate or defending your own position – all you’re capable of is personal attack. And that makes me pity you even more. You must have a lonely, bitter life. Personally, I don’t see why you feel the need to flame Calista Flockhart about her weight. You may not find her attractive, that’s fine. At her current weight, neither do I. But why do you have this anger associated with her physical appearance? Actually, from your posts, you seem to have a lot of latent anger (well, more of a teen angst, I guess) built up against… well, everyone in general, actually. **Phlip** , your posts add absolutely nothing to this board, and your lack of intelligence and creativity make your posts the intellectual equivalent of finger-painting on the walls with your own poop. ---

Each incident of bashing does not occur in a vacuum. \*\* > > It _is_ equivalent IMO. \*\* I have to jump in here an whole heartedly agree with **Rachelle** here. A few years ago I was _REALLY_ thin. (Now I’m fatter - I’ve ballooned up to a 4! 😃 ) People seemed to think that my thinness was cause for their comments. I was described as “ugly” “freakish” “disgusting to look at” “skeletal” etc. etc. on a _DAILY_ basis. That’s not nice. It doesn’t make a person feel good about themselves, and it’s just as hurtful as calling someone a fatty, or oinker, or whatever. Also, for the record, I was _NOT_ anorexic, or bulimic - I just wasn’t that crazy about eating, and I’m still not. However, I can say that telling a person that _IS_ anorexic or bulimic that they look disgusting is not useful. It is not helpful, and it certainly doesn’t inspire that person to eat normally. Also, for the record, I don’t think Calista is particularly attractive, but not because she is thin - probably because the character she plays (ie. Allie) is so annoyingly goofy. Al. ---

Zanshin you dumb motherfucker. Where in ANY of my posts did I say a single word about her weight? This was exactly the kind of response I expected from you. “Yeah I said that about Oprah but it was different from you Phlip because I said Im sorry” I THINK SHES FUCKING UGLY. I DONT NEED TO DEFEND THAT COMMENT. WHY IS THAT SO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND ZANSHIN. Would I need to defend myself if I said that she was pretty? Probably not. In fact there would probably be an overload of posts saying that she is too skinny. I didn’t say the PC thing, thats why I am getting bashed by little twits like you who go around trying to make themselves sound all righteous. Just so you know, righteous doesn’t equal smart. So get off your high horse Zanshin. Your still a wanna be and a never-will-be. ---
