> [@Binarydrone](#): > > {{{{{{Posters that got lost on the way to MPSIMS}}}}}} I don’t read by forum, I read by hitting the “New Posts” button. If I find something interesting or amusing, I’ll read it no matter where it is. I also see no need to alter my posting style based on which forum I’m in. Perhaps you’re a Forumist? 😃 ---

I even started an earnest little thread here in the Pit to that effect. I have come to see the value of being nasty and crotchety. I guess that I just overdosed on the hugs and sunshine and the treating of every challenge in life as fodder for an encounter session on the web. ---

> [@Binarydrone](#): > > I am a reformed “we should try to be nice to each other, no matter what forum we find ourselves in” poster. I even started an earnest little thread here in the Pit to that effect. I remember that thread. I was a supporter in that one, although for me it’s not so much that we should try to be nice, but that there’s no percentage (most of the time) in being arbitrarally mean. But close enough. > [@](#): > > I have come to see the value of being nasty and crotchety. I guess that I just overdosed on the hugs and sunshine and the treating of every challenge in life as fodder for an encounter session on the web. Oh, I agree, sometimes. I woulda bitchslapped Spongemom six ways to Sunday if that thread hadn’t nauseated me too much to keep reading. I’ve been known to get a might ornery at folks for being’ fools. Even got myself a warning for it. Just don’t see as it’s required here. YMM,obviously,V. (But I had that sweet little post earlier about how I thought the OP was being a mite cowardly for not returning, since this thread, while biting, was not really mean or nasty a la Spongemon. Now it’s heading there, and I wouldn’t fault the OP for going Spongemom on us. Thread’s changed, and makes my first post seem wrongheaded. That’s all I’m sayin’.) ---

Meanwhile, **Spongemom’s** waded into that cesspool that **Mynn** spewed, to explain herself, admit where she went wrong, and show how she’s putting in practice the lessons she’s learned. Well done, I say! If **Sat on Cookie** had the guts to follow her example instead of running away and hiding, she might find a response as forgiving and welcoming as what **Spongemom** is getting. ---

Actually, I think some of you may be reading more into the fun some of us have been having than is actually there. The OP is totally absent and probably no longer even reading the thread, and while I think it’s pretty clear most of us think of her as spoiled, snobby and classist, I don’t really think it’s appropriate to call the fun we’ve been having at her expense hate. I certainly don’t hate the OP; in real life I might even like her, who knows? But to come in here spouting about “random” workers doing “random work” and eating burrito burgers and spending 15 minutes in the bathroom (what the amount of time has to do with it is anybody’s guess, but it seems to have played a key role in ratcheting up her ire) and possibly even masturbating while he’s at it, and then refusing to debate the issue or even showing up to defend her position, is to open the OP up to all sorts of humor at her expense. Yes, we’re having fun at her expense, but I think it’s considerably beyond the pale to ascribe hate to our motives. ---

Then, as has been historically done to such people by the hoi polloi forever, the need arose to somehow debase her, let her know she’s not really superior to the workers . “She’s haughty, and pretends to be upper crust, but I bet she secretly has anal gangbang sex with those rough handed workers.” Wheeeeeee! ---

Of course you can use my restroom. Of course you do realize that my surveillance camera is filming you opening my medicine cabinet and fingering my used undies. 😛😛😛 ---
