This thread has turned into a truly disturbing group exercise of classic bullying. Yes, **BigT** was quite wrong in post 1669. **Miller** immediately posted a rebuttal that was pointed and direct and sufficient. The following posts were vile. And reduced my respect considerably for two Dopers whom I’ve come to admire over the years for the quality of their characters as expressed by their posts. Yes, **BigT** lashed out in response. That’s what sometimes happens when bullies gang up on the vulnerable. Nothing about **BigT** ’s response makes sense. That’s because it’s not a response to the facts, it’s a response to people being douchebags. Right now, all I’m thinking is “Fuck you assholes.” This is why I rarely post here any more. I remember when “Don’t be a jerk” was taken more seriously here. ---

If **BigT** can’t handle being insulted, he should confine himself to the parts of the boards where insults are against the rules. So should you. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > I think the issue was your use of “accuse” when you meant “excuse” in that post. Yes, that. Still don’t understand why certain posters (and, truth be told, the mods) give Big Tard such a break around here. ---

> [@mhendo](#): > > And what the hell is “self-absorbent”? > > Sounds like a kitchen towel. Technically that would be something like “super absorbent”. “Self-absorbent” implies that the thing has absorbed itself and therefore presumably vanished from existence. Which is kind of an appropriate metaphor for **D’Anconia** , where any remnants that may have been left of intelligence, self-awareness, or usefulness on this earth have vanished, making this fucking illiterate dumbass a useless waste of space. He’s not like a kitchen towel because a kitchen towel is actually useful for wiping up spills. **D’Anconia** is about as useful as a red wine spill on a brand new suit jacket. And about as welcome. ---

> [@xenophon41](#): > > This thread has turned into a truly disturbing group exercise of classic bullying. Bullshit. **BigTard** ’s entire posting history is one of moralizing, sanctimonious potshots at other posters. Everyone posting in this thread knows that. He is no innocent victim being taunted by others for sport; he is a smug, self-aggrandizing shit heel who lives to condescend to those he thinks don’t measure up to his personal moral standards. If anything, \*he \*is the fucking bully (ineffective as he may be). > [@](#): > > Yes, **BigT** was quite wrong in post 1669. **Miller** immediately posted a rebuttal that was pointed and direct and sufficient. The following posts were vile. No, they weren’t. They were commensurate with **BigTard** ’s posting history. He is a vile human being, and deserves every bit of the vitriol he attracts. The fact that you feel sorry for him (for whatever misguided reason) doesn’t change that. **BigTard** is an asshole and everyone knows it. > [@](#): > > And reduced my respect considerably for two Dopers whom I’ve come to admire over the years for the quality of their characters as expressed by their posts.

Nothing about **BigT** ’s response makes sense. That’s because it’s not a response to the facts, it’s a response to people being douchebags. Yes, this often happens when people encounter a douchebag. And **BigTard** is a well known douchebag.

I suspect you don’t remember it very well, because this is kid stuff compared to how the Pit used to work. For example, time was, you could say, “Fuck you assholes,” without drawing a mod note. Speaking of which… [Moderating] **xenophon** , saying “fuck you” to other posters is a violation of the Pit’s language rules. Please avoid doing this in the future. No warning issued.

Bump… I think it’s worth it. 🙂 A gay man who was refused a marriage license by Davis is running for her job. "David Ermold will return to the Rowan County courthouse Wednesday, nearly two years after Clerk Kim Davis refused to give him a marriage license because he was gay.Only this time, he does not want a license. He wants Davis’ job. Ermold filed to run for county clerk on Wednesday, hoping to challenge the woman who two years ago told him “God’s authority” prohibited her from complying with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that effectively legalized gay marriage nationwide.
