Or at least just go into lurker mode for a long, long time. Apparently, I can’t say ANYTHING around here without offending somebody, even if what I said was intended to be humourous. Apparently, I don’t quite fit in here too well, the way I thought I did anyway. So if you don’t see me for awhile, that’s why. I may not be gone, just lurking so people forget about me. IDBB ---

Sorry to see you go. You never managed to piss me off, at least not enough to remember. C’mon, you can tell me. It’s really because I’m not enough of a bad boy, isn’t it? 😉 ---

It’s not that you keep saying new things to offend people, it’s that you KNOW a certain term that offends people, and offends them so much that you had to ask to have a thread locked not even a week ago, and then you turn around and IMMEDIATELY make fun of said people, using said term AGAIN, and are surprised that folks are STILL offended. Your free to say whatever you want in this glorious world, but when you KNOW something hurts someone’s feelings and STILL do it, that’s truly amazing. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever posted in your threads, but I’ve never seen anything wrong with them. In fact, I often find your posts to be pretty funny. If you decide to lurk for a while though, perhaps it can just be for a day or two? 🙂 ---

So, I see we’ve opted for the “whiny attention getting thread” today to complement the “blatantly offensive thread” you posted earlier. Whatever. If you’re going to go, go. Posting a thread about it in the hopes that people will say nice things about you and beg you to stay is just annoying. ---

What the hell’s going on here? I’m _majorly_ offended that I don’t know what’s going on. Ultrasensitve Happy ---

I’ll just move this to the Pit, where **IDBB** ’s other trainwrecks reside as well. FWIW, I think she’s spot on. She doesn’t fit in well. In fact, had she kept her current stream of bigoted posts up, we might have had to _help_ her make the decision to leave. ---

[Here’s today’s seemingly innocent thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=205083) where she defines a store as ghetto because “white trash and latinos” shop there. Good work! ---

Apparently, I don’t quite fit in here too well, the way I thought I did anyway. Problem is that you’re not “humerous.” You’re a whiner and a bigot and you never ever take any fucking responsibility for your actions. See, once again, you’re trying to make it **our** problem for being oversensitive rather than **your** problem for spouting racist drivel.
