Discliamer to the rest of the people of Canada: I have nothing but respect and interest in your country. The Ontario country side was beautiful, border crossing pretty helpful especially considering at the time I didn’t quiet have all my paper work I needed, and the people some of the friendliest I’ve met anywhere.
I’m just trying to make a point. If what’s below bothers you please feel free to take a pot shot at the US, Michigan, or both.
With the current president’s work I’m sure you’ll have plenty to work with.
There is also sexists insults below. This is intentional as I find sexism to be on par with racism in it’s abhorrence.
Well then I can guess that applies to locations. So assuming what’s good for the goose is good for the gander…
How does it feel to live in 2 bit province named after some sack of shit inbred royal who never amounted to anything?
How does it feel to know your country is so weak and inferior it has to “go yes sir” whenever the US pimp smacks it with NAFTA and yells “make me a sandwich whore, and I’m going to put a teraff on your lumber and there’s nothing your lame crippled and weak country to do about it. Face it you’re our bitch. Now go suckie suckie to make me $25 and hope you don’t get herpes”.
Btw hope you enjoyed that 35% mark up from Detroit when your dollar, for once in 30 odd years was worth more then ours.
It also kinda takes the sting out when you disclaimer the insult–before you post the actual insult! Ya gotta jump out and blarf it like all “gotcha ya!” and only backpedal off it when someone gets up in your grill, see. Keep practicing, you’ll get it!
ETA: What Exit? I can settle that little conundrum you’re having over our little Tourette’s poster child–give you a hint, five letters, starts with “t,” rhymes with “troll.” Dammit, did I fuck that up again? Shit… I suck. Must be all the fat going to my brain or something. :rolleyes:
I’m not inclined to warn either of you. His comments were shitty and completely over the top, but not against the forum rules. The fact that everyone immediately jumped down his throat and told him what an asshole he was for posting it is, in my view, the Pit working as it should. You can be an asshole if you want, but people will come back at you if you get too far out of line.
Your threats were against the forum rules, but I felt that the provocation was such that it would be pretty unfair to give you an official warning, provided you didn’t continue after I asked you to pull it back. (As you say, we do have to be consistent so if you’d kept going off I’d have had to warn you eventually. I’m glad you stopped.)
Of course, if mshar253 makes a habit of over the top attacks like this on people, the warnings will soon start flowing freely, I’m sure. For now, I’m willing to chalk it up to a bad day.
Yeah, from what I can testify to, the little chickenshit motherfucker is too peepee pants to actually tough it out when he opens up a can of it–preferring to go to PM and pursue his weenie widdoe agenda that way. Which reminds me–is there a way to block PMs from a user or does ignore also take care of that?
It sounds as though you were really flattered by my having PMed you; how many times have you referred to it tonight? You don’t need to play the “Is there a way to block this guy” crap; believe me, you won’t be hearing from me again.
My intent of PMing you in the first place was out of frustration over how fucking annoying you are. I’ve never noticed you before today, but holy shit, did you make quite an impression on me today (I’m sure someone will point the irony of that out; yes, I know). You seem like some chick in high school who gets in the middle of two guys fighting, trying to stir shit up even more. Regardless of whether or not you have a problem with your weight, I’m quite certain that you’re an insignificant shit in real life who feels as though she accomplished something today.
I’m not sure I understand this. What AT did was against the rules, but not all rule violations merit official warnings. I felt that this one did not, due to the circumstances, although I did still tell him that he broke the rules and asked him to stop.
The rules are not the same as justice. Smart, nice people can break the rules while stupid assholes post obnoxiously within them. The rules just keep some order and structure – the community needs to create justice and fairness.
Think about it being real life. Calling someone’s girlfriend ugly ain’t likely to get you arrested; kicking the shit out of someone for calling your girlfriend ugly is. Even though many would understand the provocation.
The provocation was (to me) rude and uncalled for, but I can’t see how it was against the rules. I think AT is really reaching to call it racist. AT then flexes up and starts handing out cyber beatings. In post #60 he says he said what he had to say and that’s it.
But oh no, he then comes back to inform everyone that his girlfriend would rip away manhood if someone called her ugly. Then he has to advise everyone of how scary he was in high school (post #70) and reaffirm his desire to beat on someone. Later he throws out a little autism insult and it goes on and on, even branching out to other forums and death wishes.
Seriously, I learned a few things from this thread. First I learned that mshar253 thinks he has jokes. He doesn’t. Then I learned that AT is one insult away from imploding on himself and may very well be climbing a water tower right now with a bucket of paint to tell us all that his girlfriend is really, really hot. I also learned that he and SmartAleq believe a proper response to an insult regarding looks is physical violence. I’m really surprised by SmartAleq thinking that way because she never gave me the impression of being unstable before.
AT you posted a pic of your girlfriend on the Dope. People are going to have an opinion on her looks. One would hope the people who find her unattractive would keep that to themselves. He didn’t. Get over it. I’ve posted my picture here. If someone tells me they think I’m ugly, so be it. If a boyfriend of mine hit someone for calling me ugly, he wouldn’t be my boyfriend anymore because that would clearly demonstrate to me that he is a nutbar. Sticks and stones and all of that.
Dude, if one person pisses you off just focus on them rather than the entire country, it’s hella easier that way. And if your going to go after Alberta forget who it’s named after, no one cares about that. Pick on their environment-raping oil industry, or the Flames, or call Calgary a wannabe-Toronto, or point out the skyrocketing increase in drugs and STDs in the camps around the Tar Sands, call them rednecks…
BTW, Alberta’s rolling in oil money and they’d be even richer if they didn’t have to support provinces like mine; Shrub would trade Michigan and Alaska in half a second for Alberta, so the economic insults are going to fall flat as well.
First off, I don’t believe that it’s the PROPER way to respond, just that it’s a fairly NATURAL way to respond. What bugged me more than anything was that the insult came out of absolutely nowhere–the thread was chugging along, more genial than anything else, and all of a sudden this jackass comes out with a Force-5 rudeness against someone who didn’t even START the thread, who merely made a couple of points in it, fair ones, mind you. However, it wasn’t an insult directed toArgent Towers, but to his girlfriend–I mean really, WTF?
Let’s look at this again, post #50, first time for mshar253 in the thread–literally out of nowhere:
I mean, really, we’re talking grade A lunacy here. This isn’t some drunk in a bar you bumped into who takes a slurring rudeness to your girlfriend, this is a nutbar running full tilt out of an alley screaming and waving a stick around–where I come from, most people would just react first, punch the crazy motherfucker in the throat and then see whether there’s a nail in the stick or a gun in his pocket because there’s a good percentage chance of it, y’know?
So then AT loses it–his first comment was rude but still in line but then again, being a younger dude type person it obviously was getting to him more and more and I could see why. So he escalates quite a bit and got kinda out of line, a couple of posters tried to mellow him out, with some success until the point where he’s just waiting for the apology that is pretty much unanimous that mshar253 owes him. So when RudeFuck comes back, does he bring apology? No. Does he bring pie? Not hardly–we get:
Okay, everybody all together… CLASSY! What strikes me most here is that RudeFuck is using “you didn’t want to engage in a fight over a message board” as some kind of a, what, justification? AT not wanting to get blindsided by a shithead means he’s wrong for returning fire? We’re supposed to just sit still any time RudeFuck takes it into his head to be a Tourette’s poster child without engaging? Stupid, just lameass stupid. So it goes back and forth some more, RudeFuck doing his little troll turn and everybody else telling him what a boor and a shithead he is to no avail, then fisha comes along in post #81 and makes a damned good point, which I responded to in post #87 with an (admittedly) not terribly polite post that was offered in the spirit of letting RudeFuck know what he did and soliciting an apology, which was all that was needed–I even offered some suggested scripting of it:
I also pointed out that in my view a refusal to apologize for what everybody agreed was an uncalled for comment (including two mods, one of whom closed the thread, not being used to our wild 'n wooly ways in here, heh) would constitute good evidence of trolling.
It was also around this point that I said, in response to gonzomax:
Let me make something clear here–I wouldn’t myself commit a violence on someone for a purely verbal attack that had some basis in provocation, nor would my SO, but for one that egregious, out of nowhere, with multiple bystanders reinforcing the social etiquette and the fucker STILL insisted on continuing with it, well, there’d probably be a fight. Anyone who pretends that they just don’t understand this is disingenous at best. I consider it housecleaning–anyone either that clueless or just plain evil is looking for a fight and it’s just plain courtesy to fix it for them. Heh. Seriously, someone has to be significantly wrong in the head to transgress that far on normal human decency and social boundaries and since they haven’t picked up on the subtle cues it’s best they learn the hard way because if I’m willing to punch someone I can ironclad guarantee there’s somebody else out there willing to shoot him dead and somebody ELSE who’s willing to skin him alive and wear him like a jumpsuit.
Okay, so things settle down and go on with minimal hooraw, then in post #113 RudeFuck jumps back in to stir the pot some more and apparently includes a really nasty insult that askeptic spotted and reported before RudeFuck had a chance to edit. askeptic clarifies this for me in post #120. So by post #132 I was pretty sure (as I am right now) that RudeFuck is a troll, full stop. I make this clear–mostly in response to AT, who was still pretty upset and I can’t say I blame him. In spite of his gun mania and preoccupation with the bodily fluids of yaks, I think AT’s a pretty good guy overall and he really didn’t deserve this shit.
Then lo and behold, not ten minutes after that I get a PM from RudeFuck, with the rather melodramatic heading ::Sigh:: which read:
Wow. Just…wow. Here is somebody who can come out of absolutely nowhere, twelve o’clock high with guns blazing to insult someone’s girlfriend, refuse to apologize in spite of 100% disapproval from everyone involved in the thread, who pulled an even more disgusting insult out to throw but reconsidered (but not before getting busted on it,) who is apparently too chickenshit to fight it out in the thread, who then decided to come after ME, not even out in the open (because obviously this is one of those totally cowardly fucks whose idea of a really brazen act is to hurl an insult from a moving car, then speed away laughing like a two year old) but in a PM. Apparently he thought he could intimidate me or something, I don’t know what goes on in that diseased sack of monkey poop he’s obviously using for a brain, but in spite of his “I’m done!” assertions the PM exchange continued for quite some time. Anyone who’d like the entire exchange forwarded is welcome to it, because I have nothing to hide in all of this–I think the asshole is a SnarkPit sock troll, pure and simple. I may be wrong on that, but he blew his cover when he pulled this out, about halfway through the series:
Anybody who’s spent any time at all over there knows where THIS one came from.
So, to wrap up this lengthy diatribe, as far as I’m concerned RudeFuck is a troll, probably SnarkPit derived and likely a sock, who has no business posting here or anyplace else where normal humans congregate to share views. He’s a shitheaded, stupid, obnoxious, cowardly, limp dicked, useless excuse for a poster–pretty much what we knew we were going to get when we went free to post again. The fact that he plunked down his fifteen bucks to play his numbnutted troll games just shows how truly stupid he is. I suggest that he go back to spending his time playing Feud games and mumbling about baseball because he obviously doesn’t have either the chops, the brains or the intestinal fortitude to play in any other forum on the board. Well, I’m sure he’ll be trolling MPSIMS for more pictures to fap to, but there’s nothing we can do about that, is there. I’ll go out on a limb and venture a guess that Doc Cathode’s pics from the NSFW thread are all firmly bookmarked in RudeFuck’s browser and are getting quite the workout–he doesn’t seem to have too high an opinion of good lookin’ wimmens, which AT’s girlfriend definitely is.
And to mshar253–fuck you. I’ve been on this board a hell of a long time and I will post whatever I want, whenever I want and I don’t give one slim, pallid shit whether you like it or not. You’ve been very free with your “get a life’s” and your “go away’s” and your “find something to do’s”–I have some news for you, you are NOT the arbiter of who gets to be here and who gets to post what. At least I’m willing to stand up and defend what I post and I’ve been known to apologize when I went off on someone wrongly and as far as I can see I bring a whole lot more to the community than you do by a long country mile so you have not a leg to stand on to assert that I should go elsewhere, and the same goes for pretty much everyone else on this board. If you don’t like the response you get in a Pit thread, perhaps you’re just too sensitive a widdoe twoll to play with the big kids and ought to FOBT your bridge for a while, snack on a few Billy Goats Gruff and try to get a little bigger and better able to cope. Even your trolling skills are rudimentary, obvious and laughable and now that you’ve busted yourself nobody’s going to give you the attention you so obviously crave. You’re nothing, less than nothing, you’re what nothing wipes off its ass and flushes down the toilet. I suggest you stuff your head a little further up your ass than it already is and we’ll all listen for the implosive “pop” that lets us know another fucktard has gone to its just reward.
