Just a bit cruel...

Why dont you fuck off ‘saysha’ you fucking troll.

You laid low for a while, but you couldnt resist this one could you? the fire was almost out, so you go pour your supportive gasoline on it.

I dont think Freak NEEDS or WANTS your kind of help.
Hell, with help like yours, you’ll turn him into a social pariah!

For the rest of you, I think Freak has learned his lesson. He did a thoughtless thing, and he seems to be really sorry. Hell, we all live and learn.

Lazarus, I liked the thing you did, speaking up when you were behind someone, then getting ahead of them. I am sure they felt better with you in front of them, and even if you startled them a bit - humor tends to dissapate tension.

122

Good God, Saysha’s from Minnesota? Okay, let me just point out that we (as in Minnesotans) are not all mindless fucks with an intelligence matched by that of a pinto bean, and I hope no one looks down on me for living in Minnesota as well. Thank you, that is all.

Silver Fire: Proof that not all Minnesotans are “sick fucks”.

I was one of the ones who thought this was amusing. Something similar happened to me when I was in high school. He seemed creepy, and it bugged me he knew the general area I lived. I convinced myself I was being silly and overreacting. Turned out I was overreacting- the guy had a wife, kids, dog, nice house.

Now that I’ve thought about it some more, and I remember the fear I felt for a while, though, I’m going to have to retract my “funny” vote. Sorry, Freak. It was fun up until you waited until you were off the bus to give her her checkbook back.

124

Freak - If you have truly learned something from this, then I won’t hold a grudge. I just hope like hell you have come away with a better understanding to not terrorizing others as well as judging because you don’t “like their type”.

Saysha - I had a nice little bitch all typed up for you but then I figured you weren’t worth the effort. May I just say that you are a fuckin moron.

125

On a more practical note, putting aside the fear you caused this woman, there is also the unnecessary inconvenience she probably went through if she noticed the loss.

It’s a pain calling the bank and credit card companys to put a stop on everything just to have to call back the next day and stop the stop when your things are recovered.

If you had her checkbook, then you obviously had her name and address and probably a phone number to boot. How hard would it have been to employ the small amount of common courtesy required to call this woman and save her a lot of worry and trouble?

Sounds like you had a chance to do a really good deed and blew it. Oh well life goes on, glad you didn’t get shot or maced. I’m sure you’ll get it right the next time.

126

::sigh::

Note to self: Don’t post personal stories on this board. There’s a small group of people who use that one related experience to completely judge my character.

God-fucking-damn… “You are a disgusting excuse for a human.”? “At least I’m not the one who thinks scaring people is some sort of higher level of humour.”?!? “Thank you for posting it, so I and everyone else can know what you really are.”???

Does everyone have a horrible memory or something?!? Everybody does horrible things without thinking of it. Freaky here did just that. He LEARNED from it. And you want to throw him to the fucking wolves because of that? Based on this one post, out of his hundreds upon hundreds of other posts to this board, he’s suddenly judged based on this one experience?!?

Joseph and Mary in Tinsel Town… you’re all acting like he actually DID rape and murder this woman.

127

Amen.

A person reading this thread can come to a few conclusions about living in the US:

Civility = dead
Humour = not without a legal warrant
Opinion = expect judgemental and dissecting responses

128

You posted once about this on the first page, now have come back again here on page 3 to quote from my post a second time. Surely you could have mocked me sufficiently on page 1, especially since I have said nothing else about this since before your page 1 post? Or are you going to continue to quote from it again and again? Surely you have made your point already, yes?

The reason I didn’t post anymore is Freak’s admissions later on that clarified his intentions and feelings, so I felt that nothing more needed to be said, and that I certainly didn’t need to keep dogging on him about this. It’s apparant that he learned from this, grew, and will no doubt be a better, more thoughtful person as a result.

By all means, please start your own Pit thread about me if you think overall I’m such a mean, unreasonable, stupid, or troll-like person. You can use it to list the “crimes Una has committed against this board and it’s members”. Don’t just keep bringing this up in this thread, which was well on it’s way to dying a deserving death. For that reason I did not jump to defend Jodi, and am now greatly embarassed that I kept my silence.

And no, I’m not even going to respond to what you just wrote, because it is a gross oversimplification of the situation. Well hey, that’s great if it’s your opinion, but I (and obviously many others) strongly disagree with it. Just put me down in your proverbial Black Book under the “Dislikes” column, and move on.

129

Saysha said:

Hm. How 'bout, no.

Don’t tell me after reading three pages of this, you expected people to fall at your feet and say, “That Saysha…she knows what the fuck she’s talkin’ about.” Puh-lease.

You’re totally entitled to your opinion, sweets, but if you don’t want people disagreeing with you, you’d be much happier if you just kept your trap shut.

130

I really don’t want to “mock” anyone (and I apologize if I gave that impression), and certainly don’t want to point fingers to too great a degree. I’m saying that it’s utterly ridiculous to take this one thread and use it to judge Freak’s character, while completely ignoring the vast mulititude of other posts of his. I went through the thread and picked out several phrases that drove my point home, and yours happened to be among the bunch.

That’s bullshit and you know it. I’ll thank you very much to keep your words out of my mouth.

Keep bringing it up? Bringing what up? The fact that a lot of posts in this thread are overreacting? While I know that others have said that same thing, I haven’t brought it up 'til now. Again, I’ll thank you very much to not put words in my mouth.

Again, utter bunk. I don’t carry grudges from one thread to another, and I feel sorry for you if you expect that of other board members (of course, next you’re probably going to accuse me of being an elitist SOB who thinks I’m above everyone else… but, of course, you’re entitled to your opinion).

131

Spoofe! You elist SOB!

Sorry, couldnt help it! :smiley:

132

And you know I’m doing that…how? Are you perhaps assuming a little too much here? When people assume things unfairly about you, doesn’t that upset you? Apparantly so. I wonder - are you not so upset when doing it to me?

Please post where I said you said that, or admit you don’t have a point. Where did I put words into your mouth?

This refrain of “put words in my mouth” (your words - see above) doesn’t even make sense here. But true or false - you took time to quote not once, but twice from my first post back on page 1? I was merely wondering how many more times you are going to do this. That was my original intent. Obviously, I failed to communicate that properly.

No, not really. That is, I don’t think you have any sort of bad, malicious, or assholic intent. And I’m glad you “don’t carry grudges” (your words - see above) from one thread to another - that suuuuuuure would make life tedious, yes?

Ooooh, I see… you think I was referring to you, specifically. Sorry, sorry, my mistake. I was referring to the general feeling of (approximately) half of the replies to the OP.

By saying “By all means, please start your own Pit thread about me if you think overall I’m such a mean, unreasonable, stupid, or troll-like person.” Also by saying, “You can use it to list the ‘crimes Una has committed against this board and it’s members’” Both those passages imply that I had said or implied as such in my previous posts, and I can see no way in which that can be construed. 'Course, I have a different point of view towards my own posts, and I’m sorry if I was too vague.

True, I used a quote of yours twice. False, I did not deliberately seek out the name “Anthracite” in order to take the quote from, as I’ve already explained. I do not see this as constantly “bringing it up”, mostly because each time I used your quote, they were in different contexts.

Hehehe… oh, man, that’s hilarious… (no, I’m not being sarcastic, that really is quite funny).

134

I think I see where I may have contributed to the confusion. Perhaps part of the confusion was that I used the “” to indicate where I was switching to a third-person tone of voice, which may look like I was quoting you. Which I was not.

Fair enough, I understand now.

Well then, your sense of humor proves you a gentleman all the more.

Let’s never fight again, OK?

135

Does anyone besides me think that those people that wished he had been physically hurt by this were wrong? I mean all he did was make her afraid and that was her own fault because you should never let fear rule you. I can hardly be sympathetic because whenever im afraid I take steps to conquer my fear.

Now im not saying he was right to do this or anything but most people were attacking him because he tried to cause fear in a woman and said he was wrong to judge her whereas its ok for you to judge him. That just seems like hypocricy to me.

Though it was funny it was stupid not mostly because it was wrong but because she could have maced or shot you and its good to not be in those types of situations.

136

Not me. I think that would have been poetic justice if she had squirted him with pepper spray and given him a swift kick in the nuts.

Don’t get me wrong, I dropped out of posting to this thread a while back. I stopped posting, mostly, and I hate to admidt it, because I have a sinking feeling Freak is actually spewing some truth here.

I find it odd, however, that as much as he says that he dislikes it, he just had to post it before he left work.

I also find it interesting that in his first post he says, quote: “Now, this is exactly the same bus I saw her get off of (it’s an express bus to downtown, I take it to and from work real often) and it’s about the same time too. I usually get off work earlier, but I was staying late.” and follows it up later saying, quote: “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.”

Hmmmm… Oh well, doesn’t matter.

What matters to me, and brought me back to this thread, Asmodean, is my sitting here wondering how you would have reacted had you been the girl. Would you be so carefree and glib?

What if it had happened to you, and instead of the scenerio Freak gave, it was different.

Your on the bus, heading home. You notice a large male a few rows back staring at you contently. You wonder if he’s looking at you, and sure enough, he hasn’t taken his eyes off you yet. Not only is he staring at you, but he seems determined to let you know that he is only looking at you and knowone else.

You don’t approach the person on the bus because your either too polite or may be reading into things a bit too harshly. Instead, you keep checking to see whether or not this is a threat. You, yourself, sit there and take an attitude that knowone will take advantage of you. Your smart. Your know what could happen.

So, you remain polite, you don’t confront, and you exit at your stop. The person who has been staring at you, gets up and proceeds to follow you.

Now keep in mind, hypothetically, this person outways you two-to-one. Your alone in the middle of the day on a street you recognize with a person behind you that you’ve never seen before.

Tell me, what exactly are you feeling right now? Fear? Or somethings funny about to happen?

You know where this is leading, add the rest of Freaks story to my scenerio and figure it out for yourself.

People, I think, were responding to the fact that Freak, at the time, seemed to feel justified and right in his actions.

While I disagree with his overall handling and treatment about the situation, I do take his 20/20 hindsight post to be a step towards maturity.

My post here wasn’t to bash on him, he’s apologized in his own way. Fair enough.

You, on the other hand, have choosen to avoid taking a middle-ground in the previous posts and have decided that it’s either black or white. That’s too bad.

In the scenerio I gave above, you could easily have gotten your ass beaten within an inch of your life.

137

Anthracite…

Agreed :smiley:

SAYSHA says:

Don’t like it? Don’t read it. I’ll put my “virtual finger” wherever I like, including in your eye.

You really are slow. You don’t know her, but you felt perfectly free to judge her. Now you complain that I’ve done the same thing. Re-read Mouthbreather’s post; it pretty much sums up why this is hypocritical bullshit.

That is, bar none, the lamest insult I’ve ever heard from a woman. Kindly perform a sexual act upon you that you freely admit I would not be able to perform because you lack the requiste equipment? Kindly throw that cocoa-puff you call a brain into gear before typing.

Jesus, you’re so fucking stupid. THE PERSON WHO MADE UNWARRANTED ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE WOMAN IS YOU, GENIUS. The “public defense business” line was worth a laugh, though. Great advice! I’ll look into it!

I read the post, dipshit, and responded appropriately, which was to point out that your “fucking opinion” was unadulterated bullshit.

Bullshit. To treat people “in a poor manner” does NOT invite behavior that is borderline stalking and terrorizing, and intentional to boot. The fact that you think so is alarming, pathetic, and sad.

It is to laugh! You post to say how hi-larious Freak’s actions were, and how this woman – whom you do not know – really deserved it, you just know she did, and then accuse me of perpetuating a lack of manners. The only thing I’m guilty of is losing my temper, but you continue to be such an obtuse idiot I can’t even regret that.

Hell, yes, she had the right! She never SPOKE to the man; she just rode the bus, minding her own business. If he – and you – choose to judge her on that slim evidence, that’s your problem, not hers.

Well, color me dismayed – except that your opinion is so manifestly worthless that I can’t work up a sweat about what you think of me.

No, you didn’t just say it was funny; you as much as said she deserved it. But by all means do not weep and worry that I won’t like you – let me put your mind at ease – I don’t like you. Your obtuseness and maliciousness in judging this woman, coupled with the unintended irony of bleating that I judge you, are offensive to me.

Yawn. As a Pit rant goes, this one is pathetic, since it appears the worse you can do is accuse me of owning cats or listening to talk-radio (horrors!).

Of course you will, ya troll. Nice addition of “twat,” though; at least that gender-specific insult manages to use the right gender.

139

I’m sorry to interrupt but this topic needs to be shot in the head, now.
