> [@CarnalK](#): > > I think the breast implant thing and the gastric bypass thing are referencing the same rumor that OpalCat took money off posters on her Fathom forum to get a Brazilian body job done. Pretty positive none of it happened on this site. I think the only part of it that took place here was when she came to cry that people from another site looked at her publicly-accessible photos and laughed at her. ---

No. But the response is so over the top and ridiculous that his silly request that people pay for his bunny wabbit’s AC instead of him touching his savings (or whatever it was) seems almost reasonable in comparison. Trainwrecking his original topic was more than sufficient, 6 pages of pitting and trainwrecking his “sorry” thread, sheesh, talk about overkill. This is the Straight Dope Message Board. This is what they do. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > An apology should not contain the reason why it’s not your fault. This is dumb. Look at **Monkey** ’s apology. It contains a reason for his behavior, too. The problem is a lack of shown remorse, and 0 reparations when such is due. Also, disthymia is not double depression. It’s a lesser depression. Ironically, that’s a bit more convincing, as the lower severity means he’s less motivated to get help. And that SSRIs are less likely to help. Finally, I (and my dogs) went without a/c for a while, too. Mooching from the Dope was the last thing I’d have thought of. I hope **Lute** has learned from this. ---

> [@TBG](#): > > Holy shit, this board is full of harsh assholes… I have one of the lowest tolerances for assholery on this board (see, there _is_ a downside to all those unicorns and rainbows). But when it’s in retaliation for much greater 'holery, it’s more amusing than troubling. ---

As expected, my post was as noticeable as a fart in a tornado. I’m good like that. I tend to fart during low pressure fronts. I was gonna quote one person, then another, then another, and I had to stop. They were all equally funny. I honestly think that **Lute** has had enough. He made a HUGE dick move, and was lambasted in the SDMB BBQ Pit. Not only was he called every name in the book for his transgressions, but he was logically sodomized by the intelligentsia and various other SDMB elders. That would be a shaming to end all shamings. Let him live with his decision/post, and let him outlive it too, eventually. ---

Maybe you people whining about how terrible we have been to Lute, and who want the whole thing to drop could like, **stop effing posting.** Just a thought. ---

That never ends well. As I pointed out to someone here a while ago, I write the occasional Hilarious-To-Myself post that I’m sure would be gut-splitting to anyone who…well, was me.

Some days I’m really not sure about that - I say something brilliant (shut up! It happens!) and no one notices, or I say something idiotic, and no one notices (that’s okay when that happens).
