We all might get to see this lady on wife swap. She’s perfect material for that show. They’ll play up the Wiccan part and she definitely will serve the roll of an extreme polar opposite to another wife. ---

> [@teela\_brown](#): > > Admittedly I’m not very techno-hip, and know nothing about blogs, text-messaging, chatrooms, IMing and whatnot, but I’ve always suspected that blogs exist so that self-involved simpletons like Willow can blather on _endlessly_ about themselves and their uber-uninteresting lives. This tends to confirm it. Yeah, I’ve always assumed that’s basically what Live Journal was all about. A bunch of posters like Willow. ---

[QUOTE=Litoris] Please, forgive me for being the kind of person who would post to the Pit about something that chaps my ass, get the vitriol and annoyance out of my system and move on with my life rather than being the type of person that would confront someone else about their willful ignorance and cause a whole big scene and falling out that would involve more people than just me and the person that writes these ignorant blogs. I honestly hope you can forgive me for this obvious flaw. I mean, you know, I’m kind of weird about you know, not being a douche, especially when it serves no purpose. [/QUOTE] Could we get everyone who is confused about the purpose of the Pit to read this a few times. Puts it very very well in my opinion. ---

> [@Lynn\_Bodoni](#): > > Welllll, not for the first instance. And if she knows TWO people like this, I would think that would be punishment enough.😃 > > Yeah, kind of. I don’t see the need to invite more stupid onto the board, though. Generally we get enough stupid as it is. And I think of this sort of person as a lost cause, really. There’s the old saying “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.” In this case, I think it would be “Smart is only skin deep, but ignorance goes clean to the bone.” Not even the combined efforts of all Dopers, prolific or not, could help this woman with her ignorance. Though she probably would blog about how everyone on this new site is Mean and Hateful to her. Well, yes, we get stupid, but rarely of this caliber. She is likely to stomp of in a kerfluffle after a few days of being slapped around, and then blog about her horrible experience, THAT would be the treasure worth having. ---

Damn! :eek: I’m no petite flower and I’ve been known to overeat on occasion, but the thought of eating all that in one sitting makes me retch. Just two melts and fries would be enough without all the gobs of sweet. But. Um. Yeah. This girl is, unfortunately, not all that special or unique. I wish she was. ---

I think that you overreacted to my post a little, **Litoris**. I would have handled it differently, but I guess I understand your points. Whatever. ---

> [@mshar253](#): > > I think that you overreacted to my post a little, **Litoris**. I would have handled it differently, but I guess I understand your points. > > Whatever. Of course you would have handled it differently – you are not me. I don’t expect you to act or react like I do, I hope you afford me the same courtesy. The beauty of this forum is that I can rant about someone that annoys me without having to have a real-life (very likely physical) row with that person. In doing so, I let off steam in a productive way – one in which no one is humiliated or harmed. Regardless of whether or not I _over_reacted to your post, this is the right forum in which to air my disgust at someone’s willfully ignorant racism. Meh. ---

I know someone who, like “Willow” goes online to “goggle” for information. He to was (and for all I know still is) a pretty bitter racist. ---
