I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m _really_ not interested in what sort of scat fetish **tkeana** has that she think an asshole is a demon in the sack. It is good to know, though, that **BURNER** ’s spine is in a safe place … perhaps **tkeana** will let him have it back some day when he’s learned how to place nice with the other recta. ---

::cough:: **Happy** , **tkeana** is **BURNER** ’s wife, not his mommy. Though at this point I’d say the roles are a bit skewed; as such, you are forgiven for your blunder;) ---

I’m confused why you’re all accusing him of hiding behind his “mommywife”. She’s his wife, she stood up for him. I don’t think that’s weird or laughable, I think it’s a normal spousal thing. I’m sad for you if you think it’s not “manly” to have your wife on your side. ---

[QOTE]\*Originally posted by BURNER \* \*\* The bit at the end about assholes uniteing was put there because if people here think I am an asshole for my views then maybe they should ask why they think that they are any diffrent. \*\* [/QUOTE] Why should people indulge you in this manner? Based on your OP it’s fairly transparent that you want to be considered an “asshole” because it enables some fantasy “tough guy” pose you are enamored of. You have made you self look foolish with this little “I’m a little asshole short and stout” fan dance, and in doing so you have exposed yourself to derision as a silly poser. I mean really, for Christ sakes _read_ your ham handed OP in this thread! Have you ever seen anything sillier or more childish? ---

Apart from a few of you, you have all proven that you don’t have post “I’m an asshole”, to be an asshole. Assholes. ---

I have to agree with Frannie. If you don’t like his OP, say so. The “mommy” attack is just sad. What is so wrong with a spouse, friend, or fellow Doper offering support? ---

**Francesca** : OP says “HEY! LOOK AT ME! I’m an asshole! And proud of it!” Various responses range from “yawn” to “yup” to “…okay, whatever”, with bits thrown in about sexual prowess and activity because … hey, this is the pit. OP responds: “HEY! Look at me!” OP’s wife decides to comment on sexual prowess, leaving at least one of us thinking “she doth protest a bit much…”. Had OP been pitted by someone else instead of pitting himself, support from his SO would be completely justified. Were the OP a mantra of self-hate, same thing. However, this is just OP saying (other than “I AM AN ATTENTION WHORE! RESPOND TO ME!”) “I’m an asshole.” That his wife felt the need to come in here and tell us (especially that bit about being a demon in the sack. That’s mental imagery none of us needs) all about how he’s so loved and shit like that. :rolleyes: ---

I was amused at the part where his wife essentially said he posts to piss us off. As at least one other person pointed out, that’s dangerously close to labeling him a troll. With friends like that giving support, who needs enemies? ---

> [@](#): > > If you don’t like his OP, say so. The “mommy” attack is just sad. OK, and his wife coming in here and telling a poster that her big, strapping husband could “kick (his) pathetic ass seven ways to Sunday” isn’t sad? And telling everyone that her husband doesn’t masturbate because he’s to busy being a “fucking demon in the sack” isn’t sad? And saying that “he spends free time riling up people like you,” isn’t sad? The “mommy” comment isn’t sad, it’s mocking-- mocking a sad OP as well as a sad defence of said OP by his hit-and-run wife. ---

It’s your self-obsessed, asinine, simplistic, attention-whoring way you conduct yourself on the board. THAT’S why I think you’re an asshole. And, **astro** , thanks for the visual of **BURNER** with one hand on his waist, and one crooked upward singing “I’m a little asshole, short and stout.” Made my day. ---

I can’t say I’ve seen anything to contradict the central thesis of the OP, but I do have to point out one flaw. It’s not reason that separates humans from animals, it’s the fact that we are not frightened of vacuum cleaners. ---

I don’t think there’s anything inherently right or wrong about a spouse or friend offering support. When someone comes along with an ass-kissing defense of an attention whore, then it’s just pathetic. I have to note that I’m glad to see that the shrill and/or dimwitted are marrying each other rather than the larger population. ---
