> [@Clothahump](#): > > … so obtrusive … bitching … > Dammit, people, Waitaminute. I thought right-wing apes admired the Job Creators and their ingenious quests for profits. **They’re certainly very vocal about _despising the free loaders who voted for Hillary._** Is **Mr. Hump** exempt from being a despicable freeloader because he didn’t vote for Hillary — he voted for Big Daddy the Freeloader-in-Chief? Or is it skin color? Whites (and oranges) are exempt from the charge of being free-loading scumbags as long as they can speak in tongues down at the revival tent? Serious question, **Mr. Hump** : Am I missing something? Can you warm up some spare synapses and explain this cognitive disconnect to us? ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > That is correct. And you might keep in mind that I respond with the same level of courtesy and respect that I receive. Why, you might ask? Because that is how one resists an unwarranted attack. I can name dozens of posters on this board, from ultra liberal to very conservative, who interact with far more dignity than you. Take for example **adaher** and **HurricaneDitka** , to use just two of many examples I can think of. They have gotten a ton of crap over the last few years, a good amount of it unwarranted, without question. And sometimes they push back, too. But they don’t start off every post with an attitude that they are going to get the libtards on this stupid board with a good dig at every chance! I rarely agree with **HD** , and I’ve sniped at him before, but actually he is a thoughtful and interesting person… who just happens to be wrong about everything… who I think would be a very interesting guy to have to dinner. And speaking of dinner, think about people who go to a restaurant and have a criticism about everything. It’s too cold in here. The waitress had a smirk. The soup was too hot. They should have salt on the table. The steak is too moist and the wine tastes like grapes. Everything tastes off and the portions are too small. If you hear these complaints all be goddamn time, the issue isn’t with the restaurant, it is with the diner. **Clothahump** , this board is the restaurant and you are the diner. ---

Clothahump is a whiny hypocritical crybaby, the typical Poujadiste profile who blames his own failures and bad judgements on others, is nasty and bigotted, using disgusting hate language like ragheads, but whines like the small child on any thing that hurts his delicate feelings. ---

**Not Carlson** did try to be civil to \*\*Clothahump \*\*and attempt to smooth things out last year. [It went as well as you’d expect.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=822875) Despite Cloth saying this is the only place he gets pushback, something about SDMB attracts him even though everybody’s mean to him. ---

Out of 7 Pit threads started by **C’hump** since 19 December 2016, six have turned into a reverse pitting. The seventh is the one about cancer. Here’s an idea: _ **stay the fuck out of the Pit unless you’re posting about cancer!** _ ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > You keep using that term. I do not think it means what you think it means. No everyoneknows what it means, and you fit it very well. What is funny is the ineffective posturing you do to try to cover up your butt hurt. although the idea of a stupid person who is a failure in his business “laughing” at them is also very laughable. ---

He does that so he can sell the parents membership in the " **Black Belt Club."** For an extra 25 bucks a month, your little warrior can be a member of the Black Belt club. Comes with signed a picture of Clothy breaking windows with a rock. Gotta soak those parents to the max. ---

Even though I expect nothing but massive stupidity and childish responses, sometimes one of you will come up with something that just astounds the living hell out of me. As has already been pointed out, you obviously didn’t start this thread with that intent. You, through your incredible stupidity, clearly expected to be taken seriously. You’ve been whining about the fact you were not rather than laughing. And why should any of us care that an idiot that nobody has any respect for is laughing at us? Nobody gives a shit what you think about anything. We don’t, because we’re not precious snowflakes. 🙂 ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > …that are so obtrusive that we have to use AdBlocker or something similar, and then they put up a big message bitching about our using AdBlocker because they absolutely _must_ show us their ads. > > Dammit, people, design your web pages better. Put the ads over on the side where they do not intrude. Nobody buys the crap you’re advertising anyway. If I’m running AdBlock, I don’t know where they’ve put their ads. I don’t see them, because of the app. So when a site asks if I will turn off my add blocker, I generally will give it a try. If their ads are terrible, I turn it back on. If they aren’t bad, I leave it off. If the site will not let me see the content without turning off my ad blocker, I leave the site. So, if they ask I’ll do it, if they demand I’ll go away. This seems like the best way to go.
