Thanks Rysdad for making this thread, so the other one can stay directed at the evilness of the parents, rather than the tastelessness of llamasex.
It seems relatively simple to me llamasex posted an attempt at humor that, in my view, was completely tasteless (at best). Inappropriate? Sure. Dumb? yep Asinine? Yesiree Bob! Funny? I don’t thinks so, but others may. Is he a troll? Can’t really say yet. Ban him? No way.
My post that you quoted was to show that not everything is funny, and that some posts, like llamasex’s, are offensive. I wasn’t actually advocating that happening to his mother. There’s no reason to tell Rysdad to shut the fuck up over that.
The only thing he posted was that quote. Nothing indicating he was joking, or that he had any feelings about how horrible this was. Just a smartass comment, with nothing else.
For God’s sake, the poor kid isn’t even buried yet, and llamasex thinks it’s worth a dumbass joke.
**Ok, llamasex, you get your wish…**however did you know what I wi…oh, never mind, this thread ain’t about that.
but wait a sec, now that I do know what this thread is about.
Boo fucking hoo. Llamasex’s black humor made the baby Jesus cry. Christ people. Grow the fuck up. Allowing yourselves to become grossly offended over something as small as this is no way to go through life. Compounding it by calling for his banning only makes you look more ridiculous than you already are. Turn off the Disney Channel and go take a walk outside.
Secondly, he ain’t a troll. It was a joke. Maybe a driveby, but not a troll. Just because you found the post sophmoric and offensive doesn’t make him a troll. The “reaction” he was going for seemed like groaning laughter. That’s the whole purpose of a tasteless joke.
Thirdly, again, he made a bad joke, while gobear seemed serious in his wish for Llamasex to suffer the loss of a loved one. I believe llamasex deserves an apology and a retraction from gobear.
Oh, and if anyone wants to reach me I can be contacted at:
Wait a minute… 05673 is not a Burlington Zip Code… maybe everything you say is a lie… or maybe it’s all true…
which is your point I think… who cares where you’re from llamasex? Posturing behind your “real” address and name means absolutely nothing here. What makes you think that giving that information makes your statements any more valid? It doesn’t. In fact, it just looks childish. Just an FYI.
Oh, and how come there’s this mass decision that someone’s a troll, and then everything about them is open to ridicule?
I know this is the pit, but why do folks have to resort to general pointless insults? Might it not be better to address the issue at hand?
Right, and no one else is ever a jerk in the pit. :rolleyes:
Am I the only one here who is shaking her head in disbelief at all of the people jumping llamasex’s shit over this? For fuck’s sake, what a bunch of reactionary, knee-jerking crybabies.
He has 27 fucking posts (including the ones he made trying to defend himself, I have no idea how many posts he’d made before the comment in question), and everyone’s got their panties in a wad because he hasn’t yet figured out how to use the rolleyes smiley. When questioned about the comment, he said outright that it was meant to be sarcastic (in a “Well, the idiot sure got what he wanted” sort of way). Why is this not sufficient explanation? If he’d used the rolleyes smiley to begin with, we’d all have understood from the get-go what he meant, and the pile-on would never have happened.
Why do y’all continue to pile on even after he’s explained himself? Am I missing something here??
Yes your missing the fact that what ass-fucking-Llama said was completely inhumane and was probably one of the worse pre-meditated reactions to a described situation I have ever seen. Not only was he not thinking of the brothers and sisters of this little girl who has passed but he was not thinking about the moral implications of what he was writing. This is a horrible travesty. NO SARCASM HAS NO PLACE WHEN SPEAKING OF CHILDREN DYING BY THE HAND OF THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS FUCKED-UPNESS.
Thats why Jadis.
and RYSDAD Rock on with this bashing. he had no right to say what he did. Also the pic that you up a link to…BBUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAAAA!!! WHAT a freak. firs tof all you want ot know what school he goes to check out the pizza from Papa Johns on the coffee table and the paper sitting right next to it. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING FUCKED-BY-A-LLAMA?
Also I am usually very very passive, but after entering the thread where YOU Llama said those inhumane things I felt I had to come in and give my two sense! … dick
“Don’t be a jerk” may be applicable in all forums, but certainly it means something different in the pit. A vast majority of pit threads are laced with profanity and call people such nasty names as “goat felchers” and worse. If IRL someone were to throw insults at me even close to some of what goes on here I would certainly think they were a jerk.
I guess what I mean is that saying “don’t be a jerk” in this instance doesn’t seem to mean much more than saying, “I don’t like what you wrote so get the hell out.”
There are many insults that have already been thrown around in this thread that qualify (IMO) as much more jerkish behavior than a joke gone awry.
Well, frankly, I agree with MGibson, in that I found the dark humor to be worth a giggle. Yeah, a bit more tact would be appreciated, and yeah, a bit more respect would be nice, and yeah, I think that, above all, it was an assholic post… but jeez, we’ve laughed at worse. I mean, if we allowed ourselves to get pulled down by every example of scum-sucking (in)human activity, then we become a very sorry, stressed-out, angry bunch.
But my advice to Mr. Llamasex… just apologize. There’s no shame in saying “Oops, I didn’t mean to piss off so many people.” It’s not “giving in to popular opinion.” It’s common-fucking-sense. And try not to piss people off in the future… subtle humor is far more amusing than the over-the-top, Tom Green style.
Llamasex finds a child being tortured to death by her parents to be funny? In what universe is a child’s death the occasion for humor?
And yes, I wish him to suffer loss so that he may learn firsthand how grief feels, just as grandparents, siblings, someone, must feel grief for that child’s death.
I searched for previous posts by llamasex, and I only found one that was “beyond the pale,” as it were.
If his posts in the thread I mentioned in the OP really were attempts at humor (however poor and inappropriate), then I’ll withdraw the troll label.
Some of you probably know that I have a hot button when it comes to child abuse. I worked for several years in a shelter for abused children, and as a guardian ad litem for the courts, and I’ve seen evidence of abuse, no, torture, so extreme as to be incomprehensible. I personally find extremely few, if any, jokes about child abuse funny.

no, I take that back, because I don’t want anyone to really suffer just so lamasex can have a moral education. Perhaps he can have a truly horrific nightmare, in which he suffers great loss and through his pain he learns to be more empathetic, like Scrooge in A Christmas Carol.
Ok, I’m glad that you’re the end all and be all of deciding where and when sarcasm is appropriate. And do tell, what are the moral implications of llamasex’s sentence? What do you even mean by that? And (keeping in line with the grammar corrections of others) didn’t you ever learn not to use no double negatives (no this has no relevance on your post, but it seems that pointless insults are the name of the game).
Please tell me which of the following sentences is permitted under your strict and heavy-handed rule:
[list]
[li]“I wish I could throw as big a barbecue as the FBI did at WACO.”[/li][li]“At least when Hitler killed all those innocent Jews, he got the money-grubing-stingy-no-good ones too.”[/li][li]“Hey, if we nuke Afghanistan into the ground, we could take the crater, fill it with water, and in the winter we could throw the biggest ice-skating party the world has ever seen. That’s reason enough for me.”[/li][li]“It sure is good that guy shot all those abortion doctors; now they won’t be able to commit the unforgivable sin of murder.”[/li]

Hey, just like to appologize to Rysdad before this thread closes, if it does. Didn’t mean anything in the least insulting towards you, and I’m sorry if anything was construed as such.
My response to Phlosphr was a bit rough, but I’ll stand by that. Plus, it was all sarcasm
