You’re right. I am a sorry-ass mofo. I started this thread, not to bitch about her, but to hopefully (dumbass me) get the people who were sniping that thread to maybe come here, instead. OK, dumbass idea, it didn’t work. I’m a dipshit for thinking of it, so carry on reaming me. I was wrong, it didn’t work, so I deserve it. [no, this isn’t snark, sarcasm, nor irony. I am admitting openly that my OP was a stupid idea that didn’t work.] ---

> [@Shot\_From\_Guns](#): > > Oh my god, you’re retarded \*and \*illiterate. > > 1.) I never assumed you were a “litterbug.” I assumed exactly what you told me–that you see no problem with people throwing trash everywhere, regardless of whether you do it yourself. The fact that you think it’s okay is what made you, as I said, “fucking disgusting”–not that you did it yourself. I even explained this to you _[in that thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13077386&postcount=151)_. > > 2.) I accused you of trolling when you said that you thought that people should be free to litter, as though shitting on the street were a basic human right along with free speech and reproductive control. Because there is literally no way that any person who isn’t literally brain damaged could hold that position seriously. Which is such messed up thinking that she thought you were a troll. Guess what: someone who disagrees with you does not make them a troll. However, when someone attacks someone for disagreeing them in an the over the top manner that would start a fight in the real world, trollery is often assumed. It really **still** looks like you are looking for a fight. There’s no longer any reason for your anger to have clouded your logical thinking to the point where getting upset and making such illogical leaps makes sense. In fact, the inference I got was that you couldn’t logically defend your opinion, so all you had left was to attack the poster. ---

It wasn’t the outright disagreement, **BigT** , rather absurdity of the **rachelellogram** ’s comment. And the view had already been disputed - by SFG and others in that thread. Here’s some more absurdity from **rachelellogram**..

But they aren’t at this stage. Don’t shell out! This person invites suspect they are either completely off their rocker, or being deliberately inflammatory. ---

What illogical leaps was I making, exactly? 😕 FWIW, I’ve seen enough of \*\*rachel \*\*posting outside the Pit now to conclude that if she \*is \*the return of **Morella** , she’s learned her lesson and is at least partly comporting herself like a real human being.
