Imagine committing suicide by mod because you don’t understand Twitter.

Imagine having the temperament of a spoiled teenager that doesn’t understand Twitter.

Talk about irony.

That whole thread is really odd - the prudish reaction to a curse word, nearly stalker-level creepy posts about the writer, asking her about her boss, jokes about a three-way, a borderline “fuck you” to the mods, and throughout it all, completely oblivious why any of this seems weird to people. Is this new territory for **BD** or has he always had this side?

Reading the _Rise of Skywalker_ thread in CS, I thought I remembered BD having some bizzare things to say in a thread on the prequel trilogy, and [searched it down](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=545323). See how he decended into similar sarcasm and snippyness there when faced with people disagreeing with him?

That is a super-odd thread. I do find this reply to be spot on:

Hey, I ended up disavowing **pool**. I was being an asshole, but I remain convinced it was with justification.

May **pool** \*\* die slow and sloppy.\*\* Plenty of humans deserve ridicule and punishment, but no animal deserves unnecessary pain.

A Zen koan which provided some enlightenment for me:

It’s everyone else’s fault for not recognizing how witty and clever and funny he is, and the particular style of his wittiness, cleverness and funniness is scorning people who don’t recognize his wittiness, cleverness and funniness in an ever-quickening cycle of scornful wittiness, cleverness and funniness.

It’s a clear case of Michael Richards syndrome.

As noted, wishing death on other posters is a violation of the board rules. Please avoid this in the future.

No warning issued.

Also in place is the grasping at sexual comments when on the ropes (is that a mixed metaphor?). In the stalkery thread, he says he had a threeway with the reporter and her roommate; in the Lucas thread, he goes with “I’ll watch a 70 minute review of any movie if it’s done by Meagan Fox - and she’s naked. (Anne Hathaway would be OK too).”

You accused me of being Trump for saying something critical about your lord and savior, though I did realize I used “Noriega” when I meant “Ortega.” I once spent an entire conversation saying “lawyer” when I meant “liar”. I’ve posted links in other comments to videos where Saint Bernie says JFK’s criticism of Castro made him “physically sick, and that doesn’t happen often,” as well as a link to an obscure little blog nobody’s ever heard of, which details how Saint Bernie sat during an Ortega demonstration while people chanted, “Here, there, the Yankee must die.” That little rag is called _The New York Times._

So please detail where I declared bankruptcy six times, bragged about sexually assaulting dozens of women, called President Obama a Kenyan Muslim, shouted “LOCK HER UP!” at Hillary hundreds of times, told approximately 16,000 lies in three years, called all Mexicans rapists, jeered at a disabled man for telling the truth, attacked POWs, attacked a Gold Star family, falsely accused Muslims of dancing in glee at the destruction of the World Trade Center, defended Putin by attacking the US, dreamily pondered on twitter whether Putin would be “my new best friend,” hired white supremacists like Yiannopoulos, Bannon, Miller and Gorka; stole money from cancer kids, had my charity dissolved for rampant theft and shocking immorality, as well as was banned from operating any other charity for life----should I go on?

The fact that you consider mild hyperbole against your savior to be equivalent to _that_ and so much more indicates just what a glaring double standard Bros have.

I’m not even touching the crap about my kitty.
