I know someone who suffers from OCD and it’s not amusing. She lost the ability to work and it had gotten really bad before it’s sort of gotten better.
I’m still waiting to see what answer our funny friend has for calling people with a diagnosed mental aliment “crazy.” I’m also getting increasingly pissed off about this. People used to poke fun of all sorts of deceases and it was fashionable to laugh at those different, but I thought we were getting better than that.
There was a kid in my elementary school who had some sort of development problems and the other kids used to tease him, know him down and call him “retarded”. One of the leaders in the bullying was the class clown and I thought he was a jerk for that.
Start a Pit thread against a poster you don’t like hoping to start a pile on. Especially if you think the poster is against one of the sacred “Don’t mention bad things about THAT SUBJECT on THIS board, by Golly!” causes.
Expect everybody to come in and agree, then start the pile on for you.
When everybody doesn’t jump on your bandwagon, you come in and immediately start the "Oh shit, I fucked up, I’m sowwy, never mind, waaa waaa…
This particular subject is apparently near and dear to you. Well do your own fucking Pitting then, you twit.
You have been doing this shit for years and you are a fucking idiot.
Are you serious?! You just insult someone so badly that you get a Pit thread over it, then defend yourself about it. And now you’re complaining about your feelings?!
Or was this just another flippant remark like all the others highlighting that you really don’t have any feelings at all?
Actually, they probably think you’re a bitch because you are one. There’s a nugget of truth in the post being discussed here, but that’s the most valuable thing I’ve seen from you.
Aw honey, you had me till here. “Verbal diarrhea” is to “being a bitch” as “OCD” is to “sink full of dirty dishes”. I mean, I’m assuming you haven’t been diagnosed by a medical professional? :dubious: After all, it’s certainly just as easy to bite your tongue once in a while as it is to turn a blind eye to some hard water spots.
So I’ll say the same to you that I’ll say to DocCathode. If it’s a problem, fix it. It’s on you.
This is an unexpected turn of events. Guin pits LM. Guin gets piled on. Guin capitulates. The mob comes out of the woodwork and starts a pile on on LM.
I guess some people here really dislike LM. They just dislike Guin so much more that they couldn’t stand behind Guin, and had to wait until this was no longer Guin’s pitting.
(nothing against you, Guin. You were not really in my radar until now. I am just calling it as I see it)
Fear not, LM. This is all people being upset at your popularity here and at the sister board. You are cute, you are successful, you are funny, you are not a push over. Some people is bound to resent that.
Keep your most pointed comments to the Pit and you will be ok. Don’t give the mods excuses. They just get all bent out of shape when someone gets profiled by the neighbours. Soon enough there will be someone else and they will move on.
If QtM had agreed to be the least bit supportive, you’d still be hiding behind him and nipping at people’s heals. Don’t pretend like there’s been any lessons learned. You just made a tactical retreat.
I developed a kind of allergy/indigestion/nervous twitch/ocd in reaction to your posting style twenty thousand posts ago. I’m a slow learner. It’s only pity that prevents me from buying a gallon of Famous Dave’s BBQ sauce, doing some searches, and putting you on a spit.
Because I’ve heard some variation on the “oh, people are always saying they have OCD, and [insert putatively funny disease names here]” joke a hundred times, and it made me chuckle the first three. Now it’s just played out and kind of stupid.
If she was actually funny, the fact that she’s being pointlessly mean might be ameliorated.
Okay I’m back. I had to snooze. Not everyone has to like me. It’s only fair since I dislike some of the people here as well. It is interesting to see how people here keep tossing things out trying to see if they will hurt my feelings.
Also, how is me being glib about OCD a personal affront to everyone’s friend Bobby’s friend John? I know OCD exists and that its less than ideal. I dunno. I got nothin at this point
She may be being mean, but not pointlessly. The point is, there’s a huge ration of self-pity, “woe is me, I’m sick, you can’t criticize me” coming from DocCathode, which I’ve also seen from Guin, actually. They want to whine about their ailments, which maybe be very real and painful, but no one else can say shit about it. Not even to help, as some have tried to in this thread, only to be shot down rather condescendingly. You just have to offer sympathetic pseudo-support or shut up, lest you be pitted. It’s kind of annoying.
LM is new to the board, so she doesn’t know what the sacred cows are. They do make the tastiest hamburgers, I have to say.
