I’m a fan of MrDibble. He brings a perspective and experience that most of would never hear about. Given what’s he’s been through, I don’t know how he puts up with _us_. ---

What a useless waste of bandwidth. Compete asshole. I mean the OP. Mr Dibble is a good guy. ---

Yeah, MrDibble is a good guy. The line-by-line replies get tiring, but what he is saying rings true more often than not. And to throw the OP a bone, no, posting the picture wasn’t doxing. Mainly because you don’t have the intelligence to dox. ---

Despite a plethora of justified criticism of what appears to be a very questionable Pit at best, nary a one of you touched upon his most egregious sin. “Piece of Fuck”?! It strikes me as an awkward and nonsensical phrase, and I’ve become fixated on it and disturbed. A guy can brag to his locker-room friends that he had a “piece of ass” or a “good fuck”, but a “piece of fuck”?! They’d ask him what the hell he was talking about. Okay, I’m done, as you were. ---

These quotes kind of sum up this thread, and any number of similar threads, and any conceivable threads along these lines. There’s no way a guy who is un-PC is going to make a Pit thread about a guy who is very much PC and have it come out well, on this board. Most posters won’t care about the details of whatever it is he’s on about, and the few that even address them will find some way to disagree with the OP. The OP of this thread is here less than a year, so is perhaps unfamiliar with the board dynamic. Possibly it’s worthwhile for him to stick around on these terms and possibly it’s not, but if he does, he needs to be aware that opening Pit threads attacking PC targets is not going to be an available option for him. ---

LOL! Always fun to read about the right-wing-radio-fantasyland version of the SDMB. In this one I suppose **BigT** is the most popular member of the board? And everyone hates **Bricker** , who is never praised or defended? ---

You realize that there is no logic to calling you a racist, it is a rhetorical trick they will use until you give up. So, I wouldn’t take it personally. Sometimes that’s all they have to boost their self-esteem. Hell, most of them don’t know what racism actually is in modern America. They have cultural touchstones that are many decades old. So they call you a Nazi or confederate. They have comic book understandings of history and live many many miles from where “Blacks” and “Whites” interact. They are mostly Bernie Boomers. If you look where Bernie votes were concentrated, nary a Black community in sight. They are white supremacists in the paternal sense because they came up in postwar public schools where White America was the saviour of the world and the avenger of Black Civil Rights. This **Dibble** character is in South Africa from what I gather. He is going to talk to us about race in America? Yes **Dibble** , tell us all about how you fantasize about claiming “black” American victimhood for yourself. ---

Why wipipo always think they are the oppressed ones, because: 1. they think using the n-word in a professional workplace is just fine; 2. just because a wipipo says that black people are pussies about the use of the n-word and need to grow up, then they get criticized by the PC police; 3. they drone on about how the Confederacy was in the right and free public education is a racist plot. Man, it’s hard to be a white man these days.
