Appology-in the last thread I referred to bigneck as Big Perm, who seems like a really cool person. I appologize for that.
Fuck fucking God - fuck you guys (Infidel, Slacker and bigneck, that is), you heartless insensitive fuckwads (which, coincidentally, rhymes with “Fuck God”).
And now, I shall take a photo of a crucifix in a jar of urine… :rolleyes:
Esprix
While I found bigneck and Infidel and Wabbit (why is s/he being overlooked here?) to be really way beyond the line in that other thread, I’d also like to say that I don’t think Slacker deserves to be lumped in with the rest of them.
Thanks mouthbreather (cool name btw), I appreciate it.
And Esprix, fuck you too, I guess. I don’t know you from Adam, and I can’t think of any of your posts that I’ve read, but it I guess doesn’t take too much to earn some animosity here sometimes.
Slacker’s first post in the thread consisted of this:
You may notice that he doesn’t say what he considers funny. Is it funny that Guin’s kitten is going to die? Is it funny that some assholes are berating Guin for cursing god when her kitten is going to die? Is it funny that posters are getting angry at said assholes? So when asked what was so fucking funny, he replied:
So it seems that people getting angry that Guin is being baited and berated is what amuses poor Slacker. How funny! Why didn’t I catch the humor in that! Must be too subtle I suppose.
Sorry, but a statement like “[This] is downright funny.” just after someone being mocked and berated for their grief is not innocent, it’s trolling. His response to me reads like “HAHAHAH, I got you! You fell for my trap!”, and as such is trolling.
Demise, I respectfully disagree. Emotions were running high in the thread, and while I found it a bit inapropriate for **Slacker[b/] to say he found the thread “funny”, you jumped to conclusions and immediately went on the attack.
Then Slacker responded with the amount of venom you came with.
I’m not saying that it was entirely OK, but people were overreacting all over the place, and if you look at it objectively (at least IMO), what s/he said wasn’t nearly at the level of those other three.
as usual, JMO, YMMV, and I’m down wit OPP.
Ah, Demise, I was wondering when your crusade against me would bring you to this thread.
Not to nitpick, but you didn’t exactly politely ask me what I found funny, you just assumed the worst and attacked.
And do you even know what trolling is? Posting something to the discussion that’s irrelevant just to get reactions. If I’m guilty of trolling, then you’re guilty of it ten-fold.
Just let it go, man. This’ll be my last response to you on the subject.
As an atheist, would it still be a sin if I curse God?
I agree, it wasn’t, nor did I say it was. It wasn’t innocent, however, which was my point.
Heh, crusade, yeah. Against you, right. Now that’s funny. And you are, who, exactly?
About the sentence in the title:
I could have sworn I read someone else saying that within the last couple of weeks, but I can’t find it in search. Anyone else remember, or am I crazy?
Thank you! I thought I was going nuts too.
However, it does seem somewhat moot, as our dear Infidel has been banned, dare I say, again.
You’re not crazy. He said it to me. I don’t know if he said it to anybody else also.
I am going to go search now and see if I can dig it up.
I’m actually surprised nobody brought this up earlier. Especially after said person’s proclivity to profess absolute faith in their religon.
Irony anyone?

Yep. Here it is: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=90116
BAND NAME!!!
Thanks. Seriously-I don’t know what I’d do without you guys.
I feel healing going on.
Thank you Lynn for your drop, kick and punt. If only some football teams had as good a player as you, they’d go to the Super Bowl every year!
Anyhow, I felt that Infidel was being a complete ass, BigNeck comes a close second and anyone else that had to harp on a post rather than the message of pain a fellow SDMBer is going through.
It’s never “just a cat” or “just a dog” or anything like that. Guin was in pain, you stepped on her heart (or so many of us felt) when she was down. How I hope you don’t carry that in your real lives.
I lost my cat of 14 years in Sept of 2000. The people here on the SDMB and on Fathom were my best friends in supporting me, something I will never forget. All my family were out of town and my best friend was dealing with issues of her own. If it hadn’t been for the two boards, I would have slipped back into a deep depression again. I did, for a while but reading the posts again and again I felt that my pain was justified and I later came out of it.
For that, Guin, screw em (middle finger upraised just like Anthony Perkins in “The Legends of the Fall”) and I hope that you know that you have many in your thoughts. Young or old, losing a pet is never an easy thing.
{{{{{GUIN}}}}} We are here for you sweetie.
