Just a bit cruel...

Now I’m confused, Freak. You posted this tale of your sadistic amusement yesterday evening but did not mention this last part about conversing with her about the incident. What’s the actual order and date of events here? Or is some of this bullshit?

I TOTALLY do not believe this story. At all.

Sure you do, now that some of us have ragged on you. Interesting, even.

You are a sad, sick man. I pray that you don’t live near me or my family. You are totally full of shit.
That is MY paranoid opinion. Since this is the last time I’ll waste even a second thinking about you, I cordially invite you to take a flying fuck through a rolling donut. Then get some professional help for your issues with women. Sick fucker.

Jesus Christ, if I saw this staring at me on the bus, I’d be pretty Freak-ed out, too.

I think that you really should rethink your philosophy, Mr. Freely. It is a sad fact in our world that women need to be a little bit afraid of any man they don’t know in order to protect themselves. What’s the statistic on sexual assault? 25% of women in their lifetime? More? Too many of my friends live with terrible memories.

I don’t mean to in any way throw your actions into the same pile with much more heinous crimes, but I must say that your decision to use the fear of assault to punish a woman that you know absolutely nothing about is utterly reprehensible.

Glad to see I’m not the only one. Freak, shape up will ya. We don’t need another Serlin.

Riiiiiight. Women, or anyone who might feel vulnerable, should assume an attitude of submission. Thanks for the insight, ass.

Damn, it’s coming fast and furious.

Add me to the list of people that believed this was a somewhat believable story in the beginning, and is now a complete fabrication. It doesn’t make sense.

You’re full of it Freak.

I have said this before and Anthracite now seems to agree:
From Anthracite-

I wasn’t saying you should be submissive. Just don’t go ticking him off. Don’t go out of your way to make your opinions of him visible. Ignore him. What’s the deal with your inference of submission? HUGE difference.

I posted it at 5pm, just before I left work (I don’t have the internet at home anymore). In fact, I left work early hoping I would see her again so I could apologize. I saw her, and I apologized. Then I came to work today, saw your replies, and filled you all in. You’re flyin’ off the handle and making accusations, and now you’re comparing me to Serlin? Fuck you, Coldfire.

And incidentally, I don’t buy that last racist line Freak attributed to her. Not very likely.

yeah, right.

I don’t understand either. You were supposedly staring at her for half an hour on the bus. Ok, if that’s true, why in the world would she think that the guy following her was anyone else? I gathered from your first account that she knew it was you who got off the bus and that’s why she was so afraid. Hmm. This isn’t adding up.

My opinion about your behavior? Your subject line is correct. It was cruel. You don’t know this woman. And, Ok, let’s say your assessment of her is right and she is not a nice person. Next time you come across a “not nice” person, just don’t let him/her turn YOU into a “not nice” person. We don’t want to become like those we dislike, right?

Peace,
Tracy

I don’t either. I think she said it as a joke, but I’m not sure. I would think it’d be pretty obvious to her that I was the one following her, but I dunno.

Italics mine.

But see, this is why I’m confused. She knew it was you. So the racist remark doesn’t make sense. Either she’s lying or you are . . .

Peace,
Tracy

You know what Freak. I’m going to accept your story. I don’t know, I’m just feeling accepting. You don’t strike me as the kind of guy who would make something up to take steam off yourself. I think this could all die if you posted an apology, agreed that it was malicious, and stated that in the future you’ll be more considerate of how women see the world.

Not one half hour later, this has changed to:

This, together with that which TracyMarie already commented on, simply does not compute. Without any more information, we can merely conclude you’re trying to weasel your way out of it. And failing miserably.

Sure, you can blame it all on me, screaming “Fuck you, Coldfire!”. Go right ahead. At least I’m not the one who thinks scaring people is some sort of higher level of humour.

Tracy, I don’t understand it any more than you. Obviously, she must’ve known it was me, as I said above. It’s possible she was joking, though it seems unlikely since she didn’t laugh. It’s possible she was just trying to make me feel better about it, but that would go against everything I know about her. Unless I was wrong about her, in which case I’d feel even worse than I did before.

Coldfire, enlighten me, how does it not compute?

And BTW, I don’t think it was a good thing that I did. I strongly feel that I shouldn’t have done it. If I had the chance to do it over again, I wouldn’t. But that’s 20/20 hindsight for you.

MerrySquirrels,

Not expressing emotion for unfounded fear of reprisal is submissive.

That said, I must apologize for the “ass” remark – however much it pains me to do so in a Pit thread.

Another BTW, as oldscratch said, I’m not the type to try to weasel out of something. I stick up for what I think, and I always tell people what I think. So there.
