> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hamadryad \* > RT, you know I think you’re great, but as has been stated, she’s already been pitted. After scanning the first page of the Pit, I searched the Pit for “Bungle” over the past month, and came up empty. Sorry if I’m being redundant; I did my best to avoid it, and somehow screwed up anyway. (Thanks, **In Conceivable** , for providing the link.) > [@](#): > > As I stated in Dave’s thread, she didn’t bare her teeth (in that thread) until she was invited to bite. We’ll have to disagree on that; in my OP, I’ve quoted mostly her posts before Dave invited her to ‘bite me’, and expressed my opinion about them. **MissB** , I’m not exactly concerned with whether I fit in. And I _don’t_ want you banned. But I want you to _read_ before you provide ‘perspective’. Also, do you know how, IRL, people tend to be more cautious and polite at first when mixing in with an unfamiliar group of people while they figure out what the ground rules are and where the bodies are buried? That’s probably not a bad idea here, either. This is especially true in your case because your words come across as quite disparaging and critical, even in situations where you say you didn’t mean it that way. (I don’t know if I believe it, but I guess time will tell.) ---

This is one of the times that I hate the curtain of the internet. Quite frankly, **MissBungle** , normal people don’t act the way you do upon meeting other people. Normal people don’t walk into a room expecting to get kicked out for being an ass. Bored little bitches do that kind of thing. Annoying, condescending, faux-Southern-wisdom fucksticks do that sort of thing. People who have no life do that sort of thing. Maybe you should ask yourself would you be this way at the dinner table to people you’ve just met. Ask yourself how they’d react. Marvel with wonder at the fact that no one here can get to you, which is probably what has removed your asshole inhibitor switches. Go ahead, we’ll wait for you to leave. But you won’t. You can’t. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MissBungle \* > \*\*I didn’t say it to make ANYONE feel bad. I said it only to put things in perspective. I assumed it worked, made people pause for a moment and realize that high school drama is not the end all to be all, since some people had some serious temper tantrums. \*\* Meh. As an effort to “put things in perspective,” that particular remark fell pretty short. I respect **Hama’s** prerogative not to be offended, but I found it not only offensive, but pretty lame as an argument for your attitude. I find your criterion for what “worked” baffling. I also wondered why, if you’re so anxious to contemplate perspective, you didn’t respond to my point that, unlike cancer, an avoidable and repetitive grievance is basis for legitimate complaint. Your answer to **Sakura** (among others) made it clear you weren’t even reading the thread, so I didn’t bother to pursue. You appear to be giving this thread more serious attention, but then, the subject is clearly more fascinating than the passing trials of some random, anonymous teen. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hamadryad \* > \*\*Well, no. But when people make jokes about “popping a happy pill” or tell someone who’s being shitty to “take their Prozac” or refer to really depressing movies as “wrist-slitters,” I don’t jump all up in their shit for it because I understand the meaning of the word “hyperbole.” > > :rolleyes: \*\* The _problem_ is that it was hyperbole. **MissBungle** isn’t genuinely concerned about the suffering of sick children, all she wanted to do was make **DAVEW0071** feel bad. And that was wrong, because **DAVEW0071** had every right to be upset about the way his daughter was treated. No one should be made to feel bad for showing proper parental concern. **MissBungle** would have been out of line even without dragging sick children into it, but the fact that she did pushed it into the realm of the _really_ cheap shot. ---

Her advice to the mother that walked in on her teenage son when he was in the bathroom, and didn’t want him to grow up was very positive. But several people probably didn’t want to see it that way, because like a lot of her posts, she advocates taking an seemingly negitive situation and turning into a positive. Kind of a when life gives you lemons thing. If there are 40 posts that argree with the OP, MissB sometimes offers a different point of view, that is often blunt, but never a personal attack. Even with that poster who was seeking validation. ---

I had over 40 posts and not one complaint. (I forgot my code word so I just figured I would re register with a new handle) I think it shows that people are seeing what they want to see. THey disagreed with me one or two times and now they read my posts with a more critical eye. eh…vuteva ---

**Miss Bungle** … you had your own thread. You’ve just _lost_ your user privileges! I’m sorry. You go away with nothing. pan [With apologies for pre-empting any administrative decision, but the chance to use the WWTBAM reference given the thread title and **MB** ’s revelation was _way_ too good to pass up.] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Guinastasia \* > \*\*Ah, don’t feel too bad. I’ve been here almost three years and I STILL have never been Pitted. ☹ \*\* That’s because we know that you’d just collapse into a blubbering mass of self-loathing and self-doubt. Frankly, you don’t have the backbone, as any scant reading of your feeble, floundering attempts to respond to even the mildest criticism reveals. Your tedious, overblown whining about the most trivial of life’s isses reveal that you can’t even cope with the norm, so out of kindness we restrain from responding with the obvious contempt that you so richly deserve. hey - just kidding. You’re all good really. But beware what you wish for, lassie. pan ---
