And neither did the OP. **Rubystreak** was arguing the merits of what Jesse posted in the thread. I don’t agree with that. As far as what you’re saying, I’m in total agreement. In fact, **Quiddity Glomfuster** came to my mind the second I saw her posts, and I instantly thought it might be her. And if this one gives us at least a fraction of the entertainment **Quiddity** did, I’m all for it. She was good at the craziness. Those were the days. 😛 ---

Does the fact that she registered three days ago and is already up this many people’s asses change anyone’s opinion any? 72 hours and already starring in a couple Pit threads, has caused major junior mod action and been mod warned already–the openly aired PM is just the frosting on the cake, really. I’ve been on this board one way or another since ‘01 and have yet to be Pitted, just sayin’… **Quiddity Glomfuster** sock? Hmmm, the resemblance is compelling! 😛 ---

After following the links she herself has supplied, I think she’s the real deal. Her behaviors elsewhere completely mirror here, all the way up to the very thing that **bluecanary** found pit worthy. It’s enlightening reading, I tells ya. ---

I don’t remember Quididity witnessing, then again I don’t really remember much about Quiddity except her username was fun to say and a vague recollection of some crazy ass trainwreck of a pit thread. ---

Well, maybe not her exactly, but the pecksniffian sanctimonious attitude is spot on. More of flavor than of outright similarity I guess! ---

> [@Wile\_E](#): > > I don’t remember Quididity witnessing, then again I don’t really remember much about Quiddity except her username was fun to say and a vague recollection of some crazy ass trainwreck of a pit thread. IIRC **Quiddity** was a Buddhist. I tended to agree with her worldview, and we had some interesting e-mail conversations, but she aggressive about pointing out what she thought was morally wrong in other posters, she was just a leeetle bit too uptight. I can see how it could get a annoying, particularly if you didn’t share her perspective. I wish she would come back though. I admit I raised my eyebrows at the **Jesse Leigh** comment about how everyone instinctively loves themselves. Having expended a great deal of effort and energy learning to do so, I definitely don’t see it that way. However I really do like the cheerful nature of her posts and I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, particularly because her own experiences may be emotionally coloring her opinion. ---

He/She (for some reason, I didn’t even consider the fact “Jessie” could be a gal’s name before this thread) _always_ manages to sneak in the fact that she’s in loooove with the Big Guy and so should you, no matter what the fucking discussion is about. Sneakier than your lambda 1.0 witnessing, a whole lot creepier, and just as insufferable. For Og’s sake, she managed to smuggle “I don’t vote for human governments, I cast my vote a long time ago, it was and remains, “Thy Kingdom Come,” but that’s a whole other discussion ;)” into a thread about “Why Americans hate France ?” ! WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANY-FUCK-THING ? Fuck him/her. ---

Now I get it (her). She’s not OCD; it’s [cleanliness is next to godliness](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10600757&postcount=16). I wonder if she knows how ‘buckeye’ is pronounced? ---

You’re pointing to her posts in other threads and jeering now. Look at yourselves. Perfectly fine posts that don’t even exhibit traits you fault her for. It kills you she’s gone through eight kids, has a good life, and maintains a fresh outlook. You’ve run out of things to say in this thread whether you know it or not. Maybe they can reopen the one about Opal not saying thank you for you. ---

> [@Rubystreak](#): > > Stating things like, “Everyone loves themselves. I know this is true because the Bible tells us so!” might not be witnessing, but it is a less than compelling form of argumentation. It’s also somewhat insensitive to post in a thread about parents who don’t love their children, leaving the children (some of whom were posting in that thread) with a deep and abiding sense of self-loathing. Also, I don’t think Jesse Leigh is correctly interpreting the Bible passage that she is using to dismiss and deny the feelings of so many people in that thread. She sounds pretty smug and condescending IMO, and using the Bible as a vehicle for such arguments is rather ironic. I agree with this post. It so actually sums up what I would have said that, rather than post my opinion, I will now just go slink away and engage in some seriously heathen activities. ---
