> [@Avery\_Weisman](#): > > The OP’s advice was too harsh, used the ‘b’ words too often, and ignored whatever the man felt for the woman. Correction should be in that direction, not some accusation from someone with little improvement in choice of words. I kind of go along with this. It’s not that what he’s saying isn’t based in truth, he just mixed in some of his own, er, bias. In my experience, having been the coke addicted woman in the relationship, it \*can \*go down pretty much the way **CManic** says. The thing is, it’s got nothing to do with the gender of the addict. Drugs have no gender and are the real culprit. Addicted people of either sex will do some pretty low things and their co-dependent partners will put up with said low things because they’re just as sick (in a different way, obviously). It sounds like the OP’s posting history has something to do with peoples’ reactions and not being familiar with him, I’m probably missing something. ---

I came in here prepared to be all upset with **Helena330**. About half way through **CosmicManiac** ’s quoted post I was thinking “oh, oh, this isn’t going the way I thought it was going to.” “bitch” “pack of ravening wolves” “broad” “drug-addled, knee-jerk Trotskyite” Trotskyite? Why, because she’s Canadian? Yeah, what a scourge we semi-socialist Canadians are. So, two posters who I never even noticed before are now on my permanent radar. One in a good way; the other - not so much. ---

> [@CosmicManiac](#): > > Norman Osborn obviously had major issues, but his advice there certainly rings true here. You don’t think that some fictional movies had some very telling words of wisdom that could be applied to real-life situations? They do, and Osborn’s words certainly qualify. No, absolutely not. That is why I posted what I did. You are mistaken. You need to understand that that is what we are all trying to point out to you. ---

You’re the one who came into a thread about heroin to day that you can tell by their dilated pupils right? I didn’t realize how thoroughly stupid you actually are, OP. I bet you are still in college, but you’re an honor roll student so you KNOW things, huh. Also, Helena is pretty darn awesome. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > You poked the hive-mind. What’d you expect? You had a PERFECT opportunity to use “Democrat collective”, and you failed harder than Casey Jones. You can’t always get a pitch down the middle, and it was served right up. As to the OP, you almost have a nugget of a point, and it agrees with what other people had said. When you surrounded it with the written word’s equivalent of runny, malodorous elephant dung, you should have expected to be called out. You argued that point, and got slapped down. At THAT point, you should have probably let it go, or made a little mental note “I don’t like **Helena330** because reasons.” Instead, you decided to start a Pit thread, and it has gloriously morphed in the exact fashion **Miller** predicted in the first response, and I did in my head when I saw the thread title and author. I expected entertainment, and the SDMB Pit did not disappoint. I give this thread 5 nuts. It would have been 4, but you got a bonus nut for getting the other mouthbreathers to chime in to defend you. ---

Ooh, can I join in the pile-on? Other’s have covered the misogyny fairly well, but then there’s also the fact that this guy is a fucking judgmental tool. His entire knowledge of drugs and their effect on society seems to come from the TV show Intervention. In addition to him not seeing women as real people, he doesn’t seem to see drug users as real people either. So when a woman uses drugs, she’s obviously sub-human and probably evil. The TV show told him so!
