I’m going to have step in and defend **BigT** on this one.

While I don’t support the entire OP, I think he really hit a nerve with everyone because of the underlying truth of some of his statements, like this one:

I applaud this paragraph with every fiber of my being.

BigT, you continuing to post here does not upset us, it does not anger us, it does not bother us - it just makes us sad that you have to continue to live trapped in that pathetic existence of trying to justify every social inadequecy or shortcoming you possess, rather than just deal with the fact that you’re a little twit.

Look at the bullshit that SHE HERSELF kept dragging onto the boards when her “private” folder of cocksucking pictures was “hacked” by people backspacing too far. She didn’t need to bring that into this forum, she could have just locked down the pictures quietly and not made a big deal about it, but no. There we have at least two threads started by the the star of the knob-gobbling show herself, bringing it up when very few people on this board were even aware there was a “problem”.

This is why we need a slow clap smilie.

I am glad to see BigTard’s Pit thread hitting streak is alive and well. More impressive than DiMaggio.

Hurray! Another BigT pit thread!

I especially enjoyed the “sadness-soaked computer chair”. That was gold.

The alliteration in the underlined section is truly magnificent.

I have to apologise here for my lack of clarity - the “knob-gobbling” comment was not intended to be judgemental. Knob-goggling is a fine and upstanding tradition that’s fun for all parties involved. I merely mentioned it as the poster in question was playing the innocent naif card, wounded about the breach of her privacy when she was quite enthusiastically chowing down on that tubesteak in most of the pictures, and was a web designer to boot.

Fear not! I hold no disdain for those who like to polish the baton, merely those who would do so, put those pictures in a web folder that was one errant backspace away from discovery, and then come to this board shrieking about it when nobody had posted or shared it on this board in the first place.

I think you posted that very phrase in a Pit thread a while back, and I heard Homer in my head when I read it, and cracked up.

It’s hard to do impressions on a message board.
