> [@MsWhatsit](#): > > Now waiting anxiously to find out whether this will turn out to be “ **lindsay** was totally thinking of another poster,” Nope, I was thinking of another poster, as **Meyer6** showed with **LavenderBlue**. That’s exactly what I was thinking of, must have had the L’s in mind. Sorry **lorene**. I just apologized in the other thread as well. However it should be noted that she came into the other thread just to criticize me and had nothing to say about the thread itself. > [@lorene](#): > > I used irony incorrectly. I apologize. > > I felt that it was humorous that she mentioned a part of town where “people fancy themselves better than others” and then went on to use words like _obese_ and _Medicaid trainwreck_ as descriptors that did not add anything to the story. This is actually an ongoing theme - **lorene** doesn’t like what I say, accuses me of doing X when I’m actually just of another mindset than her, not actually wrong. She has very low levels of comprehension, not understanding irony (9th grade English) and not understanding that the term “obese” is a factual descriptor. She’s like a fly in your water - just a small, stupid nuisance. Also, let’s quote _exactly_ what I said. > [@The trashiest thing you have ever seen](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trashiest-thing-you-have-ever-seen/576038/125): > > Probably the best white trash thing I’ve witnessed (which was actually terrible and horrifying at the time) was when a patient of my mom’s waddled down the hallway and accosted mom’s secretary with “Why is that dark man staring at Dr. Bluth?” Secretary: “Actually that’s her husband, Dr. OtherBluth”. > > The obese Medicaid trainwreck snarls"Jesus, I hope they never have kids!" The Medicaid Trainwreck tm was critical of my parents’ interracial marriage and horrified at the thought of biracial children. It wasn’t “lindsaybluth shits on poor people week”, as **lorene** our resident gnat would have you believe. ---

She’s like a fly in your water - just a small, stupid nuisance. I appreciate the apology. If I’m a small, stupid annoyance, though, you are a giant, obnoxious one. You are not the expert on the many things you seem to think you are. You’re smug and condescending and clearly have a very high opinion of yourself. Having high self-esteem is great, but not if you belittle other people to achieve it. I don’t buy for an instant, either, that your use of obese was purely for descriptive purposes. Why not mention eye color, hair color, age? I never said you were \*wrong \*, by the way. I said that it was humorous to me that you were doing the same thing you described others as doing—fancying yourself much better than others. ---

I’m not defending RacistWoman, but come on – you’re not fooling anyone. Actually I said she “waddled”. But again, due to l **orene** ’s parsing of words, she’d have you believe I used it within the same post. It was actually an entirely different post linked [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13630982&postcount=139): > [@The trashiest thing you have ever seen](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trashiest-thing-you-have-ever-seen/576038/139): > > From a Yelp review I left: “A family in the table to my left and in front let their child (6 or 7, mind you) take off his shoes and run around. He then ground his heels into the carpet - with a piece of chicken in between. He swiped a cloth napkin from an empty table and rubbed it all over his feet. I audibly gasped, but his obese mother couldn’t hear me or ignored me. Then she threatened to take each of their Kindles away if they didn’t shut up. The boy was eating with salad tongs instead of a fork all night long.” The staff did nothing at all; only later did I find out that the management had changed recently. > [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Again, can you cite this because so far you’re the only one who is seeing this.

I thought the obesity of the person in question was kind of relevant, though. It was a thread about the trashiest thing you’d even seen - as dangerous as this is to say on the Dope, really obese people sometimes look trashier than people who are normal weight. Clothing that’s too tight, sloppy looking, that sort of thing. ---

That’s exactly what I was thinking of, must have had the L’s in mind. I think you meant “yep” there. Incidentally, claiming that other people “lack reading comprehension” is one of the most boring insults on the Internet. Ooh. Lacking reading comprehension, why, why, that’s like something you’d say to a 4th-grader! Ultra-burn. If I could travel back in time to 15 years ago when I first read that insult on Usenet, I’d ask my former self if it even had any punch back then, because I’m old now and can’t remember anymore. Mind you, I’m not really involved in this argument per se; I just think that making the Pit more entertaining is a goal that we can all support working towards. ---

Having high self-esteem is great, but not if you belittle other people to achieve it. **lorene** , you know I like you but you have seriously just described a GREAT MANY people here at the Durp. I thought that was SOP here. I can think of dozens of people (at least one in this thread) who are worse offenders with this than **LindsayBluth**. That said, that’s just my opinion.
