That FFL thread was strange as hell, but SenorBeef, I think it would have been more honest to quote Oak’s entire final post:
Sounds to me like he took a step back and looked at his previous 48 hours of posting (which is where all the crazy in that thread occured) and realized he was a little out of line.
Well, except that he continued after that point to treat me with extreme and seemingly random hostility. He claims it’s because I’m SUPER DUPER LIBERAL, but then he says I’m worse than der trihs or dio, who are each about a million times more liberal than me, if I am at all.
So he has some special hatred for me, and I was just speculating why. That tantrum was the only thing I could really figure out.
I understand not wanting to engage in the Pit (at least, for posters without a history of engaging in the Pit…), but it really discredits a guy’s internet tough guy standings by at least not checking in to say you won’t be participating.
I sent him a PM yesterday. Kind of weird to throw over the top YOU’RE THE WORST HUMAN EVER!!! shit in several threads but then be unwilling to back it up in a thread specifically made for it.
I haven’t read the thread, but “Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.” -Aristotle
So Oak seems like he doesn’t want to participate in this thread. Does that make it bad etiquette for him to still address me in random pit threads by saying “OH GOD YOU ARE THE WORST HUMAN BEING EVER TO LIVE AND EVERYTHING YOU DO IS WORTHLESS”? If he won’t man up and even tell me wtf his issue is? Because it seems cowardly to me, throwing around some pretty harsh invectives and being unwilling to even try to justify them when called on it.
My guess is that he’ll cut it out from now on. If not, all you can do is every time he pulls that chickenshit stuff if the future is to link to this thread.
Someone brought to my attention that Oak has definitely read this thread. This post is a direct reference to post 11 in this thread.
So Oak runs across the pit throwing crazy over the top invective at me, I create a thread specifically dedicated to asking why, and he’s too much of a pussy to show up and substantiate his hatred when called on it - and it’s certainly not because he didn’t notice the thread.
If you see Oak doing his internet tough guy I’LL DESTROY THE INTERNET WITH MY SCATHING OF YOU AND ALSO LET’S ARM WRESTLE bullshit, feel free to link to this thread to show how much he backs up his bullshit.
