I’m sitting here trying to figure out how you _tear eyes out_. Man, that had to take some effort; there are a fair amount of muscles around them. What a weird thing to fixate on. ---

“When he found what she had done, He tore her eyes out one by one…” (apols. to Lehrer) Which is always the best method, I find. Otherwise it’s life auto-crucifixion: you can never get the last nail in. ---

[QUOTE=Team of Scientists] [This](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=411800) is probably what **MGibson** had in mind when he said **lissener** was right. [/QUOTE] Specifically, there’s a well-written summary of the argument against “recreational outrage” posting in [this post.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8344848&postcount=101) Personally I have mixed feelings about the argument and lean against wholesale banning if it can be avoided, but I think the post I quoted above shows why some folks feel the way they do.

I guess this is the place for righteous outrage, but is it the place for _assumed_ outrage? It’s a terrible story, no doubt, but not unlike a dozen or so other terrible stories to hit the newswire each day. If the OP wants us to examine this story particular in detail, and share in his/her shock and horror, shouldn’t the OP have the courtesy write a bit _about_ their shock and horror? I think it’s a fair thing to ask for, and then we can avoid all the idiots decrying criticism of an anorexic OP as lack of empathy for the people, furry little critters, or whatnot being murdered, sautéed, or fricasseed in the news item. ---

Maybe we should have a new forum? Rather than the Pit, we could have The Latest and Outragest or something. There, we could all try to outdo each other in discovering and posting the latest Child-Molester-Microwaves-Kittens-While-Fellating-Jack-Chick stories. Oh, I’m sure the Reader would go for it. :dubious: ---

He and the other almost-jr-mods could start threads for each other to take nice smelly dumps in, and leave the pit and other forums for people who have the minimum amount of brainpower to avoid threads that are clearly titled and can obviously be avoided if one has no interest in them. ---

[QUOTE=lissener] Wow, you’ve struck just the right balance between selfrighteous moral outrage and voyeuristic attention whoring. How do you do it? The sentiments you express so eloquently in your OP make you my new hero. That is, until someone finds an even cooler, sorry, more morally horrifying tabloid story than this one. I predict there will be babies involved. From all of us, Cunct, thanks for the thankless job you do of scouring the internet for fresh opportunities for selfrighteous voyeurism. [/QUOTE] While I am new to these forums, I have a hard time understanding how you have 10,000+ posts and have not been permanently banned for being a total dick stain. ---
