No, that’s a request. And by “pair” I mean boobies, of course. Smartass. ---

[QUOTE=twickster] No, I’m pretty sure s/he has someone specific in mind, but doesn’t want to name that person by name. Great bod; expensive wardrobe; fabulous job; desired by dozens of [members of the appropriate sex] who want to date this person … Yup, that’s all wrapped up (sic) in a single Doper. Who we’re all afraid to Pit because this person turns \*extremely \* nasty when his or her schtick is called into question. [/QUOTE] Lets see, there are threads right now about - skidmarks in your underwear should I shave my balls should I shave my ass crack did you ever pee & shit at the same time do you like anal sex And someone posting about their wardrobe or dates _really_ bothers people? Different strokes I guess. There are more than a few posters in love with themselves, not that it bothers me all that much. > [@Rubystreak](#): > > OK, this is going to take the wind right out of this thread, but… > > Autolycus, I’m sorry I crapped up your MPSIMS thread. If I wanted to cuss you out, I should have Pitted you. I do think you have problems, and your rape issue really did upset me. But you’re right, my yelling at you won’t help. It made me feel better, because you sure do piss me off, but now, I just feel bad. Feel bad for you, hope you do better, don’t want to have a pissing contest with you and call names. I hope we can bury the hatchet, and no, not in your ass. Very well done **Rubystreak** ---

Maybe not a good idea, given the snuggly sleepover this thread seems to be turning into, but just for the record: [QUOTE=Autolycus] I think I have posted enough. [/QUOTE] Got that right. Because… [QUOTE=Jodi] **Autolycus** , when I saw your [What are you thinking right now?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=413381) thread, I typed out “That you have too much time on your hands and need to find another hobby in addition to posting every random thought you have to a message board.” [/QUOTE] I had much the same reaction. I was tempted to post: “What I am thinking right now is, ‘Jesus, _another_ fucking thread by this guy? What the fuck is his problem?’” I didn’t, obviously, but that’s what I was thinking. As **Happy Lendervedder** says, the environment here is like a big cocktail party. And you, starting thread after thread after thread and feeling the apparent compulsion to post something, _anything_, in every thread you read, are like a guy at the party who climbs onto the keg and bellows loudly about not very much at all. Sure, I can go out on the deck, or try to tune you out. But I’ll wind up cold, or with a headache, and I’ll probably take off early. Bottom line: Dude. Chill. Seriously. In a social situation, you should listen more than you talk; and on a message board like this, you should read more than you post. Otherwise, you start to piss people off. Don’t be that guy. ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] Oh, FFS, I’ll do it. It’s **alice\_in\_wonderland** , right? C’mon, girls, grow a pair! [/QUOTE] If WOOKI is really bothered, (s)he should just go ahead and call the person out. Normally, people who _really are_ that annoying have plenty of detractors. I tend to be of a mind the one’s pit karma will dictate how one’s pitting goes. However, I’ll go on record saying that I haven’t seen alice say anything worthy of contempt. She might come accross as self assured, but I don’t think she possess nearly the overwhelming assuredness that people ascribe to her. ---

Goddammit. I was all set to make a lame observation on the name **Rubystreak** and its implication of menses, and everybody’s made up already. ---

[QUOTE=twickster] I believe the fan/detractor split is pretty evenly along gender lines. [/QUOTE] If this were the case, I think that would be both pathetic and sad. However, based on messaging and e-mails that I have received over the years, an equal number of boy dopers and girl dopers think that I’m a peach. Additionally, about an equal number of boy dopers and girl dopers think that I’m a raving cunt. Obviously my “secret e-mail” proof amounts to absolutely nothing in the big scheme of things, but that is how the numbers shake out. So **Twickster** , just because you think I’m fantastic, doesn’t mean that all the girl dopers do. 😃 /hijack ---
