I am too lazy to pull up the multitude of examples of his clueless douchebaggery, but if he isn’t obsessing and shaming fat chicks, he is bragging about his “hot Mexican wife” who is probably a figment of his imagination. For those not aware of his latest, read this gem of a thread: [Would you date a fat person that wore tight clothes all the time? - In My Humble Opinion - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=729484). And for you long-timers, this is the same poster who had a family member possibly/probably being abused and hemmed and hawed over doing anything about it. ---

Yeah. **Incubus** ’s anti-fat-person bigotry, and the veiled misogyny, in the thread is pretty appalling. Pitting endorsed. ---

He’s a trollish piece of shit that just post things to get a reaction. Thus all of the fat-shaming and the (hopefully made-up) story about his niece getting molested, which his hot Mexican wife would be duty-bound to report as a CPS worker but they didn’t want to rock the boat. I hope it’s all made up anyway. To think otherwise is pretty horrifying. ---

This is such a no brainer pitting. I can’t believe no one has done it before. You all realize of course that he is a fat, zitty nerd sitting in a basement playing world of warcraft or something right? I loved the part about how he is a bus driver who makes 90k a year. Monstro pretty much refuted that piece of nonsense ASAP. ---

No I was just minding my own business posting threads and replying to stuff, sure. Shouldn’t you be driving your bus?

Keep thinking that. Last year my W-4 was about $86,000. [here](http://www.simplyhired.com/salaries-k-bus-driver-l-san-francisco-ca-jobs.html) it gives the _average_ pay in the Bay Area. That’s not factoring in premium pay, overtime, etc. Last year I worked about the equivalent of 10 hours a day, 5 days/week for a year (wasn’t actually ten hours, that’s just factoring in overtime, premium pay, etc). With what I make an hour, its not that hard to top 80 grand. Hell, there were a few drivers who made $125,000! ---

On top of his ugly one-trick pony bigotry, he has a self-congratulatory posting style that only invites snickers and guffaws. So I’m kind of surprised he hasn’t been pitted sooner. What grown man thinks having a clean house is something worth bragging about? I’m kind of asking this sincerely. Because from where I sit, that’s as much of an achievement as graduating from high school. ---

My honest assessment of Incubus is that he probably grew up in utter chaos. Maybe a child of alcoholics, something like that. His hot, Mexican wife TM showed him another way and now he feels smugly superior to anyone that is not at least at his level of income, fitness, or social standing (meaning very, very average) ---

Because from where I sit, that’s as much of an achievement as graduating from high school. I put emphasis on having a clean home because it seems like something many people on the internet, including this messageboard, neglect. Admitting your house is messy, the inability to organize it, seems to try to come off as this ‘gee shucks’ self-denigrating kind of thing and I find it annoying. There are people coming on to the board begging for money, because they can’t support themselves due to [reasons!]. I never said I had a better job than everybody. I do find it funny that people have such a hard time believing I make so much. Why would I lie? Why would I say I’m a bus driver, but then throw out this figure you are so convinced is bullshit? ---

His hot, Mexican wife TM showed him another way and now he feels smugly superior to anyone that is not at least at his level of income, fitness, or social standing (meaning very, very average) I grew up around a lot of lazy whiny people. A lot of people who did a lot of ‘poor me!’. Everything in their life was someone else’s fault or problem. They weren’t doing anything wrong. If they had no friends, it was because other people were mean to them. If nobody ‘got’ them, it was because they were so special that noboy was gifted enough to relate to them. If they were fat, it was genetics, or somebody else not helping them lose weight. As I rose above it, took ownership for my own actions and worked hard to better myself, the emotional stench of lazy people got more and more pungent. The excuses for not having a job. Whining about being single. Complaining about their catty co-workers being so mean to them. Unable to understand why people enjoy the taste of ‘food’. I saw more and more how people trap themselves in a prison of helplessness. And the most well-meaning individuals think they can help get a person out of that funk by _reinforcing the behavior_. By telling them that they’re not doing anything wrong. But they’re doing _everything_ wrong. ---

That’s great you “rose above it” but acting like a smug asshole doesn’t really do you any favors. What worked for you doesn’t necessarily work for someone else. And it’s not like you pulled yourself up from an orphanage to the CEO position of Microsoft. You live the same boring middle-class life most of us do. You aren’t special. ---
