Inhumanity? Really? On a message board? Harsh words on a screen constitute inhumanity? Best not watch the news then. There’s a whole big world that makes this message board look like Teddy Bear Junction.
This is just laughable. Ravening herd indeed.
By the by, you still haven’t answered my question. What separates acceptable pit behavior from inhumanity? Or is this just so much recreational outrage for you?
And she’s never going to answer your question, that’s just her way. And we’re even worse than that; The quidster said this way back on page 2 or 3:
That’s right folks “the worst of human behaviour” is taking place right here in our own little pit. Warms the cockles of my inhuman heart. 
That you think people mocking you in here are any more passionate in their attacks than you have been in your Defense of Goodness and Niceness and Lollipops makes me giggle.
Typing, “What the fuck are you doing in the Pit, you Reader’s Digest subscribin’, Highlights readin’, Thomas Kinkade adorin’, Precious Moments collectin’ Pollyanna mushbrain?” really doesn’t get me any more worked up than typing, “w00t! I have coffee!” As a matter of fact the coffee sets my heart a’ thumpin’ happily and probably raises my blood pressure far more because of the joy.
A note: “Some people say” “Certain people have posted” “Folks have said” … Sloppy and disingenuous. Own your irritation. Name names.
Edited because I said, “some people…” in the beginning of bitching about people who say “some people say…”
Yea, that’s why you’re getting such fiery vitriol (honestly, people have been relatively light on you considering how dumb you’re acting) flung at you, because you’re a female. :rolleyes: Nevermind the fact that several Dopers are females and they have absolutely no trouble getting along with everyone else. Hell, some of the posters trying to inform you of your sheer stupidity are females. If Sophistry and Illusion ever comes back to say where the boards with lower intellectual demands are you should probably consider heading over there. That leap in logic is mind-boggling, and it’s a wonder you have the ability to formulate complete sentences; let alone use a computer.
And I thought Autolycus had a martyr-complex. You keep on licking boots to try and make friends.
You can pretend that you’re shrugging this off all you want if that’s what it takes to get you through your day. I am sure you have a hard life, what with the constant breaks to remind yourself how to breathe.
Your constant dodging of counter-arguments and continually willful idiocy has shown that you have reached a level of functional stupidity that very few ever acquire. Congratulations. Looks like another battle against ignorance is lost.
In your case, clearly within the deepest recesses of your rectum…and out the same way.
No wonder you’re such an asshole, what with all the work you put it through. A turd-factory nonpareil.
Congrats.
Since you keep bringing this up in your arguments, do you have an example of her doing that? I haven’t really noticed her posting in the Pit, so i don’t recall her hypocrisy.
Again, the question is asked. Who are the specific posters you and others are referring to? Which posts are you referring to? If you are going to accuse people of such behavior, then have the balls to name names.
I was one of the posters on the thread in question. Am I one of the persons you wish fucked? If not me, then who the fuck else are you talking about? No one came close to this level of vitriol on that thread, for which there was a better reason, a concern for the effects of a self-destructive addict on her children, than your little pissy fit.
You’ve called people out. Good. Finish the fucking job and name names and spell out offenses. Tell people to their faces that you will fuck them with kitchen utensils or crawl back into your hole as as a coward.
I’d be surprised if he did. Autolycus barely ever posts anything of substance, why would he start now?
He hasn’t even participated in this thread past his OP other than the normal “Look at meee!” and “Aren’t I wacky?” posts.
I don’t know where you lot were brought up, but it has long since been part of my SPO that one does not single out individuals in order to embarrass or have them censured in public. I will challenge specific people in threads as part of a dialogue, but I think naming names the way you demand is tacky and classless. I can, and might when I have more time, go hunt up a few choice phrases from the recent thread as illustration of the type of remark I mean but accusing people who aren’t in this thread is not my style.
.
While on the one hand, accusing me of being a ‘Pit nanny’, OTOH, Miz Ruby appears to think that I should, indeed, monitor the Pit constantly and leap to the defense of every single downtrodden poster. I wish she’d make up her mind. Or, rather learn the meaning of ‘degree’.
Have you missed all of the instances of Cite screamed on this board? Of course we requires you to show us examples of what you are bitching about, and that is going to point to specific posters. Your holier-than-thou I don’t want to single anyone out claim is just more dodging of the question.
I lost respect for you in a previous thread and stated as much. You remain a hypocrit and willfully obtuse.
ETA: If castigating someone for their behavior is bad, then you should fucking well stop doing it.
‘Ya cain’t always get whut you wawant’, baby.
You don’t spell very well. And no, I’m neither. I just won’t do what you want me to do and that makes you all twitchy. Oh well.
Sorry for the double post, but this is a stand-alone complaint. It kind of goes with my earlier bitching about how of course people could always word their posts differently by they are under no obligation to do so.
I don’t complain about people behind their backs. The closest I come to that is when I bitch someone out here on the board and I want to assure you that if I knew you IRL, I wouldn’t hold back on my opinion in meat-space either.
I believe in telling someone that, IMO, what they did is wrong. I believe it is acceptable to do that using colorful language. I am not different on the board than IRL–if I have a problem with you, I will bring it up with you. I will also feel free to let other people know about said problem if I think it is necessary. I reserve the right to make an ass out of myself and apologize if needed.
Truly, this behavior has served me fairly well in life. Everyone knows where they stand with me…I do not smile to your face and stab you in the back. I don’t curry favor with peole I don’t respect to make myself look good. I’m not a boot-licker.
I wish posters such as QG, SA, SaI, and any others who share their mindset would let those of use who are more than happy to speak our minds do so. Yes, we risk hell, karmic retribution, a bab reputation, whatever punishment you think we deserve.
Speaking for myself, I can live with that. I can dish it out, and I can take it. I don’t appreciate your faux concern for my health and spiritual well-being. If I need assistance with this, I can always ask.
I’ll make my own bed, thank you very much. Quit helping me straighten the fucking sheets and tuck in the corners–that’s not how I make my bed and I’m not about to lie in it just because you think it would be more comfy.
And before QG comes in and tells me that I’m missing her point: No, I get your point…now how about you try to get mine.
ETA: QG, fuck right off. You just don’t fucking read what people post. Remember the whole perception thing…yeah, you should think about that.
And before QG comes in and tells me that I’m missing her point: No, I get your point…now how about you try to get mine.
[/QUOTE]
No you don’t, as evidenced above. I (and the others, I believe) do not take issue with the fact that you speak your minds. It’s how you do it. Capisce? Didn’t think so.
I get your point–you think I should tell you gently that you are a bitch and I think I should be able to say flat-out that you are a bitch. For that matter, I think that the pit was designed to be able to tell you that no only do I think you are a bitch, but a bitch that thinks her shit doesn’t stink, though most of us are smelling it just fine. And I think the pit is great just the way it is, and you think it would be better if we were cuddlier to our fellow posters when they do something reprehensible.
I get your point, I just don’t consider it valid for this forum on this board. So slink off like the weaselly bitch you are and leave us to our Pittings and to Doping the way we have been for lo these many years.
Ah, yes. QG - you’ve just admitted that your posts are a lot like whale shit - little substance and no depth (to quote the master).
At least we all know where we stand now.
Sorry, but the forum for hot gooey cheese is already called MPSIMS.
Mmmm, hot cheese …
Same applies to the posting activities of other people in the Pit. With circular logic like that it is no wonder much of your posts are fluff. You flat out can’t cut it when it comes to debating, reasoning, or even a semi-mature conversation.
You’re either a flat out fucking troll or a completely insufferable bitch. Either way I’m done dealing with your childish antics.
Let’s see. It’s in bad taste to single people out, because it would be tacky. But, it’s good taste to refer to posters of a specific thread as “Shit-monkeys, judgmental turd burglars, digusting digital imps” among others mangled insults because we’re talking about a group of less than a handful of people? (psssst. Read tomndbb’s post about the numbers.)
So, it’s tacky to talk about specifics in threads criticizing members’ behaviors. We can talk about wanting to fuck people up their asses, call them cowards and cry for their blood, but hey, just don’t refer to anyone personally and have a nice day.
Someone, once, earlier in this tread, posted this gem:
So, QG, where are your lectures for our pissed drive-by OP advocating sexual violence against fellow Dopers? Or it this OK, just because it was directed against at most, a score of people and not one?
Show me anywhere in the thread in question that anyone advocated sexually assaulting someone else, and yet this is what this OP is about. Where is your indignation for that?
No, I’m sorry, I guess that we should just worry about not being tacky, and not about responding to someone who wishes violence. Carry on.
Here’s another way to look at it. Your mama probably told you if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. And that’s just fine and actually necessary for every other forum on this board*.
The SDMB, in its infiinite wisdom, realizes that mama was crazy to think that people are actually like this. Therefore we have a forum where you are come if you don’t have something nice to say about someone. To say the things that you want or need to say.
Who are you to say that it isn’t better for someone to hear that people think they are lower than low for what they are doing? I’ve learned things on this board, and it isn’t always from the nicey-nice posters. Someone described in blatant, ugly detail someone’s behavior once and I saw myself there. Changed those actions on my part and feel better about myself for doing so. That post caught my attention and did me some good. Other similiar arguments did not open my eyes, but that post had me written all over it and I went “Holy fuck, am I an ass!”
Normally I wouldn’t say this, being a huge lurker and all, but here goes: Leave us to our ways, newb. Things are working just fine.
*work with me here, I can’t make analogies for shit
Thanks for my wakeup laugh-out-loud!
Oh, dear, did I just let it slip I’m a lazy slugabed? :eek:
