My generalizations about Americans...

I don’t know man, a Yakuza-style pinkie joint necklace would be pretty damn cool…

I am not crying or anything, don’t read too much into what I said. I am involved in the SDMB because In my job it is the only way to occupy my time and not go insane. But hurtful is hurtful, it doesn’t matter where it’s said, if something is meant to hurt, it hurts.

Everyone else - I probably deserve the not-so-nice posts in this thread, (but that doesn’t excuse bastardish behaviour) I am deeply humbled by the people who are nice to me, I am very grateful for your forgiving replies, and I apologise for you having to see me lose my temper at the bastards.

I am still thinking about ignoring the SDMB though, bastard replies are almost inevitable, no matter how much I acnowledge the nice ones.

Is there some sort of a delay between the apologise stage and fuck up stage, or can the shift be immediate?

Well, there you go–peoples’ tastes differ. Anyone who’d like to send me a pinkie can go ahead and just send it to SMUsax instead. A nice postcard informing me that the pinkie has been proxied will suffice.

Well, this American accepts your apology, lobley. I hope you a) have learned something and b) stick around for a while longer.

I think that might vary by league, or junior varisty versus varsity players. Immediate shifts seem rather flashy, theoretically good showmanship, but they might be something that really professional coaches might caution against and want recruits to unlearn.

So everyone who called you out for what you are is either “bastards” “hurtful dickheads” or “evil shitheads”.

Right---- this is not an apology, this is just a contination of the personal attacks on those who called you out on your hateful bigoted comments. Your prior comments and these attacks make you a loudmouthed ignorant ass, at best. As does the second pit thread you have opened on this- fine continue your Freak Freely like meltdown, its fun to watch-- but don’t crap in a cup and call it a hot fudge sundae. Your shallow attempts at revisionist history were correctly called out by Monty. Your assinine personal attack on him just adds merit to his original post.

Ah the last refuge of the troll. Well don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Oh, you will be back again I am sure to share your enlightened views with us. :smack:

First of all, I can’t believe anyone would take to heart anything hurtful said about them by a stranger on the internet.

Second, Monty seems like an outrageous shithead. He takes this way too personally. Further, he claims that Americans beat the British to the punch with sarcasm! Not only is he intolerant, he’s ignorant!

If someone’s acting like an idiot, Monty, why put yourself a small step below them? Or is that as high as you go?

ANOTHER fucking thread about this garbage?!

What part of shut the fuck up is not penetrating that non absorbent head of yours. I don’t give a cat shit souffle what the fuck you think now. FIVE threads about this pointless bullshit,lobley,FIVE. Here is a clue-GET OVER IT ! Turn off the computer and the tv and work on your social skills.

I was ready to ask everyone to lay off of you when you half assed apologized yesterday but this is getting ridiculous. You are an attention whore and a misery monger. Anyone with an active brain cell in their fucking head would have let it go long before now.

no, just the bastards, hurtful dickheads and evil shitheads are bastards, hurtful dickheads and evil shitheads. The people who challenged my views are people who challenged my views.

Why did you link the two? I’m confused.
I have covered all this. shitty behaviour is shitty behaviour. Arguing right or wrong is worthless for someone who is malicious. because being malicious is far worse than being wrong. It’s like a criminal criticising a policeman for being a bit rough.

I tried to post this earlier, but it wouldn’t go in.

Well, lobley, you’ve learned something, in that you’ve learned that it’s best to think before you post, and it’s best not to make wild generalisations that can easily be disproved.

The fight against ignorance begins at home. You were ignorant, you realised it, you apologised. Time to get on with either reading the SDMB and posting, or leaving it behind.

Don’t have a chip on your shoulder based on what some people say. But please do realise that some people are getting snarky with you because they are hurt by what you said, not because they are bad or evil.

Monty’s alright, you know. He just takes things seriously, and that sometimes means taking things too seriously. :slight_smile:

If you think before you post in future, fuck-ups like this shouldn’t happen again. You’ll be OK. No need to take it to heart so much.

You didn’t have to fucking read them! but you thought you would, so you could add to the kicks. that kind of suggests to me that they don’t bother you at all, but rather excite you. If they really bothered you you wouldn’t click on them!
AND, 5 posts??? I’ve posted about 3 at the most recently. one was brought back from god-knows how long ago, and another one was posted by someone else, and a 3rd was an apology.

If ANYONE is to blame for the volume of all this it’s the people who get thrills from criticising!

Are people still wondering why I think the SDMB has too many bastards and is not worth the bother???

If you criticise and undermine the OP, what the fuck do think the OPer is going to do!! I am going to fucking defend myself ok!! so don’t get pissed off with the number of my posts! I am not going to just sit and take it!

Lobley,
I actually came into the pit for the first time today and saw 2 new threads by you, thought "Oh, Gawd. . . " but then was very happy to find that you weren’t planning to be a one-trick pony and was relieved to see you post from a more human, less man-with-a-mission stance. Stick around, ok?
(I actually expected the “commisserations” thread to be slagging on the US team, which, as an American that broke bones in school playing the damn game I am tired of hearing- the next BBC announcer I hear of referring to the American fans waiting for the ball to be picked up. . .)

Well, hey guys, he’s actually saying y’all have dispelled some of his ignorance and some of y’all are still spanking him for it? Shit, move on…

lobley One final spanking should do it… Bend over-grab your ankles

::whips out the Fah-Q paddle::

WHAP!

Bad Lobley. Naughty.

Some of these folks will get over it if you post about kitties and bad tasting foods for a bit before coming back to the more controversial.

You post outrageous BS and I’m the hurtful dickhead? Hah!

Got it in one.

All generalisations are wrong, anyway.

Anyone willing to provide a link to the Monty v lobley thread in question?

What if I send you a self-addressed stamped envelope?
