Then, I suggest buying one of those small, portable fans to bring with you to your car; it can get a little stuffy with the windows up.

Nothing.
Except that it’s the OP for a totally different Pitting. Please, stick to the topic at hand, and don’t hijack your own thread.
Which they have signally failed to do. You’ll notice how you’re the only one whining about how people are being mean to you.
Big Rayon Leer? Go ahead, try it. Got 192 others.
As an aside, I’ve found it interesting that the only people I’ve ever known IRL who thought it was stampin-in-their-jammies funny to make fun of Oprah’s name were flaming racists. Along with “Oafrah”, another word they used was “Aperah.” :rolleyes:
Well, Oprah has a way of lounging on her couch while feigning ignorance about the topic their discussing (there are gays? Who cheat on their opposite sex spouses, on this thing called the innernets?) then pontificating about it, but what’s “Aperah?” Makes no sense to me.
I don’t mean to hijack an otherwise entertaining thread, but I need to know: WTF is up with “Oafrah”? What’s it supposed to mean? Is it a play on the word “oaf”? Is it the result of someone misspelling “Oprah” as “Ophra”?
Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s super-clever.

Seriously? why is a gag on her weight racist?
You’ve been here for 18 months. Learn.
See the button in the lower-right-hand corner of every post, the one that says “Reply”? That’s “reply with quote”. Click on that and the post ya wanna address will come up in the Reply To Thread window. Then for each slug of quoted text ya wanna address, you highlight the text ya wanna quote, in the Reply window, and then do a mouse rollover on the icons until you get to the one that says “wrap quote tags around selected text”, and then you click that icon.
And PREVIEW, dammit! Preview, preview, preview. And only when your coding is as clean as God’s snotrag do you click Submit.
Or you can click on that Reply With Quote button, and study carefully how the coding looks in the Reply window that comes up–pay careful attention to the position of the brackets, the slash, the poster’s name, and the equals sign.
ETA: And if ya wanna address multiple posts, or multiple posters, you Copy and Paste the bits and pieces onto your Clipboard and take it over to Wordpad or Notepad, until you’ve got what you want assembled, and THEN you Copy and Paste the whole thing into the Reply Window and start previewing.
Thanks for the clarification. So, it’s a fat joke. Classic - those never get old.

Like your mom! Hey-ooooo!
LilShieste
big is all that really mattered.
But seriously, do not for a second take my deep thought upthread to be in any way shape or form a poor me plea- it was 100% not. This is not my first unpopular pit thread- I authored the now legendary “fuck you, Pat tillman’s brother” thread don’t forget, and stood my ground for several pages. 
I was merely opining that its odd to me that someone like miller who doesn’t give two shits about Oprah would spend an afternoon rebutting someone with a petty gripe about her, with such passion. I can see it with something one really cares about, like sports, or politics or something, but this? I’m no hypocrite I spend many a day posting on minutiae, but I usually at least have to have a passing intertest in the topic. And I love a good flameout like anyone else, but miller and his ilk trying to initmidate someone who has posted for more than a month or two, and has posted unpopular pit threads before and not quit posting, its just funny.
thanks 
One can only marvel.
A. Your supervisor is a huge Oprah fan. You know this.
B. So you tolerate her watching Oprah during lunch hour.
C. And you demonstrate your toleration by…making snide comments about someone…
D. …who your supervisor is a big fan of.
And you think this counts as being tolerant?
And you don’t think your supervisor sits there thinking, “Wow, what an asshole”?
Been passed over for any promotions lately?
Oh yeah, when some jerk-ass racist calls a black woman an ape, they must be making a crack about her weight. :rolleyes:
Holy fuck, either you’re as dumb as folks in here have been accusing you of being, or it’s the shopworn “act like you don’t know what they’re talking about to throw them off the scent” ploy. Let’s review the first four pages of the thread quickly and see which it is.
(Cut to “Girl from Ipanema” while I put you on hold…)
Oh. It’s APE-rah. Well that’s fucking stupid. Never heard it. Must be a southern thing.
And…you see this as something to be proud of? Anybody else would, as pointed out, man up and say “never mind, I was wrong”.
Didn’t sound like a petty gripe. Which is why you got people in here telling you to fucking shut it. If you’re gonna vilify a plutocrat, at least have the sense to make sure the vilification is merited. Which this one isn’t, and hasn’t been for five pages now.
Which is the essence of our objection to your thread. No, you’re right, we don’t much give two shits about Oprah Winfrey, collectively, but we do give two shits about totally lame Pittings.
No my supervisor is a big fan, but she is adult enough to not get peeved at snide comments about a TV character who neither of us know. If it truly bothered her, I would not.
One can only marvel.
So, she’s adult enough not to call you an asshole to your face?
How would you ever know if it “truly bothered” her?
Oh fuck.
There is no earworm earwormier than that goddamned song. Damn you.
Jesus fucking christ! where do you get ape from oaf? Do you own a goddman dictionary? Do you not know she has a legendary weight problem? Someone saying oaf is really too gutless to say what they really mean, aperah, is that your theory? I gave up trying to find even one online reference to her as Aperah- maybe you’re the kind of racist who makes up cutesy racist names, and then accuses others of doing so?
uh, we’re close friends and she would tell me? Is this even a debate- do you know actual people who would get mad if you made a joke about someone they like** from TV**? I can’t even imagine a person like that.
no thats not it. One of the other members of the racism police would have pointed it out long before genius if it were.
