[QUOTE=enigm4tic] as **Oakminster** would say, 1/10 [/QUOTE] And this is more clever? Why don’t you try to do better yourself, you fucking halfwit? **Rubystreak** speaks the truth. It’s a near certainty that that kid has a problem with alcohol which will probably get worse before it gets better. He was kicked out of college and is back living with his parents because of his drinking. What will be better for him, someone telling him the cold hard facts or others encouraging the behavior? ---

I think I like Ruby again. Or maybe I always have, but wasn’t sure. It’s a shame some people would prefer to hear from a drunken adolescent yanking our chains about what has been or might have been up his ass over someone willing to tell that adolescent to get a fucking clue. And another key point, as I remain convinced he is a troll: No rational person who has been raped, or wonders if they have been raped, is going to get off joking about it with strangers on a public message board. Get back on your high horse, Ruby, and charge. ---

To Auto: Forget what I said about theatre. I’m guessing you don’t play well with others. Try standup. You have a sense of humor, you clearly **NEED** an audience (emphasis added to distinguish you from those who _like_ an audience), I’m guessing Orlando has plenty of venues and in stand-up you don’t have to share an audience. Your material’s pretty easy to mine already, just work it into 8 minutes and hit the open mike nights. “Anyone here ever wonder if they got buttraped in Boston? Man that fucking sucks. Especially when their dick hits the ladle up there.” ---

[QUOTE=Autolycus] Second, the sentiment that nigh 100% of the posters in the original thread were laughing at me with derisive sneers, and that perhaps that sentiment extends to my entire posting history on The Dope, pisses me off to no extent. Call it a pet peeve of mine. [/QUOTE] There are two ways to attempt to correct that problem: 1. pay attention to the suggestions (and the snide remarks) and notice where there is a trend, then consider what sort of reduction in threads started or reduced TMI variety personal information one might post that prompts those infuriating remarks, following through by actually reducing the number of threads and posts that prompt the criticism or 2. post more threads condemning everyone with whom you disagree in the most ostentatious and obnoxious language. Guess whch one has been proven to have the higher success rate over the years? ---

[QUOTE=Waverly] Get back on your high horse, Ruby, and charge. [/QUOTE] Not into my ass, please. Seriously, I can understand where you get trolling from, but you have my word that was never my desire in starting the OP. I was sincerely worried that I was possibly raped. In my drunken state, the only evidence would have been physical. Since there was no soreness or anything else suspicious, I was truly concerned about whether my worry was legit or not. Just because I’ve been in a situation where that scenario is possibly does not make me a troll; it makes me a retard. In this entire thread, I’ve never claimed that I’m upon occassion a real fucking dumbass. Back on topic, my question was promptly answered, in a rush of relief I had a lapse of judgement and said some serious TMI, and penis ensued. I figured since I could rest assured in my sans-rape status, joking was ok. I’m sorry if you dont like crude humor. It was never my intent to play with anyone’s emotions. Honest. Of course, you can hate me all you want. It’s a free internet. ---

[QUOTE=hajario] And this is more clever? Why don’t you try to do better yourself, you fucking halfwit? [/QUOTE] It was clever solely for the fact that it was/is a cliched joke on something people repeatedly yelled about. It’s not an LOLworthy joke, it’s a play on a cliche intended to invoke a couple of rolleyes and a halfhearted grin, better than a poor one sentence attempt at a pit addition will get. ---

[QUOTE=hajario] What will be better for him, someone telling him the cold hard facts or others encouraging the behavior? [/QUOTE] I don’t believe anyone, at least in this thread, is engaging in the latter; but it is possible to do the former without sounding like a judgmental prick.

Here are a few questions for you, **Autolycus** , and then a few opinions. You say you’re “getting help” with your drinking. What kind of help? Medical? Have you told any fibs to your doctor about your drinking? Like about how often you drink, how often you get drunk, and how much you drink each day? I have a hunch. Do you really think that anyone here actually believes that you believe that you might have had a cock shoved up your ass but that you are unsure about it? Has everyone in your real life simply gotten sick of your sick need for attention? So you have to seek it here? You seem to be moderately intelligent, completely without useful skills, and desperately in need of human contact. Develope a skill or two. Make a friend. Try the real world. This is a diversion for most of us. I think it may be a little too important to you. Amusing us with your facility with words and fantasies is not going to get you anywhere that matters. ---

Oh for fucks sake, Auto. I don’t mind humor, crude or otherwise, as long as it _is_ humor. I also don’t give enough of a fuck to invest the equivalent of two cents worth of emotion into hating some dipshit on a message board just for being a dipshit. I’m just not going to be the guy to say, “Dude, man, you so funny! You be good in theater!” You should not work in theater. You should dry out, pull everything out of your ass including your head, and go back and get your fucking education. ---

[QUOTE=Rubystreak] My first pitting. Soooo exciting. Great, now we’re in the right forum, so I can say what I really think: [/quote] Well, I guess that “I will ignore him from now on” was just that much more bullshit. Bravo. > [@](#): > > 1. You are an alcoholic. You need help. I don’t know how you can deny this, if you indeed are. You say you’re seeing a doctor. I hope it’s helping. I say I am seeing a doctor, because I am seeing a doctor. Clearly you know my own life better than I do :rolleyes: > [@](#): > > 1. You live with your parents because of #1, but bitch about them, as they take care of your loser ass, on this message board. Lame. Again, I hope you are taking steps to get on your feet. Spending hours on your parents’ computer writing idiotic screeds and tell-all confessions probably ain’t the way to do that, though. This is completely irrelevant to the discussion. You are clearly just searching for more shit grenades to throw at me. In any case, me and my parents are completely cool now. I have a great job starting next Tuesday, I found a girlfriend, I am making many non-Internet friends, and I will start school again next Fall. To whoever said I was kicked out, that’s blatantly wrong. Fuck you and return when you can read for comprehension. > [@](#): > > 1. You are an attention whore who will say fucking ANYTHING to keep the spotlight on himself. Your posting history is my cite. Civilized discussions usually have these lovely things that I personally like to call “examples.” Try it sometime; you just might like it. > [@](#): > > 1. Some people are laughing with you, allegedly, but a lot of people are laughing AT you. Fine by me. Like I’ve said before, I’ll tone it down a notch. That still doesn’t excuse you for being a pompous bitch . > [@](#): > > 1. Everyone here knows WAY too much about your life, including what has gone in and out of your asshole. Is that what you really want? Again you speak for everyone with such confidence… If you are Queen, then I certainly didn’t vote for you. (help, help, I’m being repressed!). > [@](#): > > But then there’s the question of rape. Do you really think maybe you were raped? Or did you just say that to get attention and bring up your drinking problem yet again? I really want to know, but really, either way, you’re fucked up. Sometimes rape can be joked about and be funny, but I wasn’t sure you were joking. It was disturbing to me. If I had realized that you were the OP, I wouldn’t have opened the thread. My bad. If I had realized what an enormous douchebag you are, I wouldn’t waste my breath even pitting you. I thought just maybe you’d realize how big a pompous jerk you are being. My bad. For the record, I was seriously worried about being raped. My question was factual. Call me fucked up all you want, it wont change a thing. > [@](#): > > Let’s not kid ourselves that he’s a healthy, well-adjusted person who uses this message board recreationally. He’s not. I cut out the rest of your polemical, thinly-veiled attempt at winning over the crowd with a bunch of spineless name-calling. I hope that’s ok with you. I use hope in the same sense you use the word, hypocritical and meaningless, as in “I hope you are getting help” Like I said before, if you truly cared about me, you would have taken a vastly different course of action. “You’re an alcholic, cmon now and get your head out of your ass” Puhleeze. And another thing. MY problems and YOUR posting behavior have absolutely nothing to do with each other. I did not pit you because you might be right about me, I pitted you because your style resembles an arrogant old maid. You are arrogant, judgmental, proud, selfrighteous, and yet you try to convey a sense of warmth and care. Fuck Off. You act like you never had any rough times with alcohol, that your shit dont stink. I for one am sick of it. What’s even worse is your feeble attempts at cajoling the crowd into taking your side through name-calling, poo-flinging, ad hominen attacks, and a air of superiority so stifling that it makes Donald Trump look like Mother Teresa. So go ahead, judge away. Judge 'til you’re blue in the face. Clearly nothing I can say will stop you. ---
