He tells us frequently how much he despises and hates us all, and then still wants to play with us like everything is cool. **Precious Snowflake** seems to have missed out on most of the socialization most people pick up by kindergarten. ---

There are probably 3 posters on this board who could come to the pit pitting Hitler and have the thread turn against them. 1st place to you Clothy, in that category. ---

One of the things I find fascinating about (pick your own insulting yet accurate noun here) like **Clothy** is the fact that they can be positive, even insightful posters on so many other topics, yet inevitably revert to form whenever their personal “crusade” or “nuclear button” is prodded. People is weird. And yes, you don’t have to point out the irony of me posting that. Just don’t mention beans in chili and we’ll be fine. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > I fully understand that the majority of people on this board, like you for example, have less than the mental capacity of a five year old when it comes to posting. **Colibri** pointing out that your posting history and interactions with the members of this board have resulted in the mockery that is this thread show far more mental capacity than you have ever shown. Indeed, your refusal to own your own reputation and willfully misunderstanding why everyone is slinging shit at you comes across as far more immature and lacking in self-awareness. > [@Clothahump](#): > > I posted a legitimate gripe. I’m quite sure others have that same gripe. But in the liberal world, that doesn’t matter. No, you whined like a mule, and now you’re just playing the ass. You do realize that those websites are asking you to turn off adblock because they depend on that blocked advertising to pay their operating costs, right? By bitching about that, you are coming across as an entitled freeloader. The only thing more sad and pathetic than that is the fact that you keep hanging around here, despite all the abuse you rightfully get. Seriously, if this place is so filled with morons who you hate, why are you still hanging around? Is your life so sad and empty that taking abuse from internet strangers is better than the alternative? I’m genuinely curious. ---

I see proof of this every single day. Your quoted post above is a perfect example. Exaggerate much? Please show me a five-year-old who could compose and correctly spell the following: “Precious Snowflake, you really are one sad delicate flower. You’re also too fucking stupid to realize that you’ve so utterly lost credibility on this board that any thread you open in the Pit is going to turn into a pitting of you, no matter what the subject is.” ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Thing is, he’s so far right that even **Bricker** is to his left. Bit of a non sequitor I guess, but I think it is kind of unfair to position **Bricker** as all that far right. The _far_ right are folks like Roy Moore and the social conservatives who voted for him. They may form a subjective far right on this board, but most of our conservative posters are on the more moderate /libertarian wing of the Republican Party - we just don’t have many dogmatic social conservatives hanging out here. **Bricker** is pro-gay marriage and, however reluctantly, voted for Clinton. No matter how aggravating folks here may find his politics, he’s probably practically a RINO by the standards of the Breitbart crowd. Even **Clothahump** , as vituperative as he can be, is a bit on the outside looking in. His hatred of religion insures he will never get a seat at VP Pence’s Christmas table. ---

No matter how aggravating folks here may find his politics, he’s probably practically a RINO by the standards of the Breitbart crowd. Which is exactly why he’s left of **C’hump**. Point is, **C’hump** loves to bash all Dopers who he sees are to his left, which is pretty much everyone who isn’t him, **HurricaneDitka** , or **Arizona Mike**. Then plays victim when he’s bashed back. ---

I had just posted a couple days ago that ClothaTrump had gotten to where he doesn’t shoot the breeze any more and seems to bitterly stay committed to denigrating the Dope one paper cut at a time, which he didn’t see because he has me on his Iglist. Since then, he actually posted on a game thread, and this post is non-political, so I’m willing to cut him some slack and give him credit for softening up. But this reverse pile-on is so damned funny! ---
