What about questions like “Was The Watergate Scandal fortold in the Bible?”, a recent ones from ralph124c. Shouldn’t the answer to a question like that be obvious? ---

> [@SmartAleq](#): > > Dude, the fucker INSULTED HIS GIRLFRIEND. I don’t know about you, but if some random asshole said something as shitty as that to me and my guy heard about it there’d be teeth on the floor in about a microsecond. Any guy who wouldn’t defend his girlfriend from as random and scuzzy an attack as that is some kind of a wuss–and yes, I’d do the same if somebody went after my guy as well, it’s just what people DO for their loved ones. Don’t stick up for the wrong person just because you’re feeling butthurt over **AT** ’s opinion–go after the guy who ranked on you, don’t support the total douchebag, please. You’re better than that, even if your punctuation is for shit, guy! 😛 There is no excuse for threatening the well being of another poster. That goes way over the line. ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > There is no excuse for threatening the well being of another poster. That goes way over the line. I think **AT** ’s post was over the top, but \*\*mshar253 \*\*was either completely asinine or trolling. I know I wouldn’t have retorted with vague threats of violence, but I understand why \*\*AT \*_would be upset enough to do so. How would you feel if out of nowhere, someone made remarks like that about your wife_? Jim (BTW, I am sorry you got dragged into this thread, I never mentioned you and I don’t actually have any issues with you. This was suppose to be about ralph. The pit can be a funny thing. Look at my damn title for proof of that.) - assuming you are still married, I actually have no clue. ---

And **Giraffe** donned his jackboots, took up his Mace of Righteous Indignation and done smote old **AT** for it–and rightly so. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s a gut response to get pretty fucking pissed off when some random douchebag insults your girlfriend’s looks for no goddamned reason. Don’t stick up for the douchebag, it brings you down. ---

**gonzomax** has been doing much better with his spelling, grammar, and overall coherency in the past several months. I have noticed, I think you guys should notice and lighten up on him. I haven’t noticed **ralph124c** very much, but he has struck me as being the standard none-too-bright semi-religious Ted Kennedy-hating right-winger when I have seen him. The first few pages of this thread had me laughing so hard I thought I’d have a childish accident. Jim, you’re really not well qualified for pitting. I understand; neither am I. 😃 I occasionally take a stab at righteous indignation or ornate insults, but I can’t do flames. **mshar253** is a jerk and should just kiss his or her career here at the SDMB goodbye, because I and others will certainly remember this and hold it against him or her. **AT** was acting jerkishly, but fairly understandably under the circumstances. **Oy!** has spoken. 😃 ---

Look, I’m not **AT** ’s biggest fan- in fact, sometimes he annoys the fuck out of me, in much the same way good old **ralph** does. However, I’d have said something pretty similar if some other monkey flung shit like that at _my_ girlfriend. [QUOTE=mshar] Whoever deemed me the “worst poster ever” can kiss my ass. I made one extremely insulting remark in the appropriate forum. [/QUOTE] I deemed you _The Biggest Douche on the SDMB_, actually, and I stand by that. If you had posted 10,000 times and said one completely inane thing, it would be a _lesser_ case of douchebaggery than this, since you managed to do it in just 250ish. ---

Good thing you edited the “sideways vagina” part out that would have brought the BAN STICK for sure. Don’t worry, I reported your original version. ---

Soooooo, for those scoring at home… **What Exit?** , genuinely nice poster, pits **ralph124c** (who I’ve never noticed before) somehow leading **Argent Towers** to set on **Gonzomax** over spelling/punctuation. Previously nice poster, AFAIK, **mshar253** gets his flamethrower out and blasts **AT** , who takes it, ah, personally. And things go south from there… Wow. ---

> [@SmartAleq](#): > > ETA: **askeptic,** seriously? He really went there? Dayum… Yes,he really did. While I was reporting it he must have realized that it might have more severe consequences than he thought and edited it. Typical troll behavior usually involves hanging out in CS acting all innocuous for a while I think this one came out from under the bridge to recklessly. I never really cared for AT and all of his gun nuttery nor did I particularly admire his reaction to the insult from left field, but damn I was really surprised to see \*\*mshar’s \*\* pre-edit comment.
