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.
This is the Straight Dope Message Board. This is what they do.
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.
I came this close to pitting you for this post.
Do NOT do this again.
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.
Yeah, good luck to him with that… with this crowd.
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.
Tell us of this new concept of which you speak… would it be akin to closing one’s mouth in a conversation? That would be a new experience, perhaps one I will try, someday…
Not sure what you have against effing, but he hasn’t posted here for a few years now
We could keep quoting this til we have a couple of screens worth of Big Honkin’ UpperCase Letters…
Funny, on my screen they’re lower case.
If this is a joke, I’m not getting it.
Yes, it was a joke, but I’m guessing (with about 99.99998% certainty) that it was much funnier to me than to anyone else on the internet that day.
I was just in one of those moods, laughing to myself and posting ridiculous things.
If you were in my head, you would have laughed (or cried…probably one of those two things).
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.
BUT, I don’t click that “Submit Reply” button.
I do it all the time. I laugh and it feels good.
What?!?!? Other people are reading the things I post? Damn, I’ve got to rethink this whole thing.
Guys I think Rhythmdvl wants us to burn down the banana stand.
Christ, if I held to that, I’d have like 15 posts on this board (not including this one).
Alrighty then - carry on.
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).
