Every time this damned thread pops up, I find myself singing “Miss Otis Regrets.” Good song, but I don’t need the earworm! ---

Well said, **jsgoddess**. And as a thank-you to _you_ for passing that earworm along, I present you with this gift: _Miss Spaulding regrets she’s unable to post dark grey. Miss Spaulding regrets she’s unable to post dark grey. No thoughts of hers will be seen (Unless they are seen in a shade of green) Miss Spaulding regrets she’s unable to post dark grey._ ---

Nah, it’s like that sentence about how the opposite of love isn’t hate but indifference - frontal attacks require one to regard what is being attacked. ---

> [@Wile\_E](#): > > Waitaminute! … she’s anti-vaccine but she was pitted for her choice of font and color?!😕 If you’re looking for pit-worthy material, she’s also [pro-juicing-cures-cancer](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=755790) and [anti-transgender](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18317280#post18317280) (it’s just a hormone imbalance, don’tcha know).

Her [condescending and rather dumb](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=755619) attempt at starting a pit thread didn’t do her any favors either. Despite that, I have a glimmer of hope. I don’t think she’s a troll, and she can bring some good snark if she figures out how to properly direct it. She has the capacity to change, as evidenced by her switch to black text. Maybe some of her anti-science views can be changed as well. I hope she doesn’t give up here completely. ---

I doubt that she’ll be back. Given how quickly she shifted gears from amused condescension to fuck-you defiance once the moderators got involved, I think she’d be banned within a week if she did return. ---

I wonder if she would love 4chan for all the greentexting or if she’d be mad that everyone is aping her style. On some boards using green text indicates sarcasm. So maybe you shouldn’t read what she says at face value. ---

Wow. Really? This train has left the station, arrived, disembarked, and put into storage a month and a half ago. How did you even find it to drag it back out again? She hasn’t posted anything since May 2 and had already given up on her ‘individual style’ well before then. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/miss-spaulding/718782.md?page=4)
