[QUOTE=Jodi] You do see that if **Polycarp** was in fact “making a rhetorical point against a certain position” that was not even one **Sarahfeena** was taking, then his incredibly vicious comment directed AT **Sarahfeena** is even less excusable. You get that, right? [/QUOTE] Yeah, that’s why I specifically said that in my last post. I thought it was pretty clear when I asked to be shown where I claimed Sarahfeena was taking that position, but I guess not. ---

Hey **Shodan** , while I got your attention, is your name from martial arts, _System Shock_, or other? Just curious. ---

[QUOTE=gonzomax] This is Shodanizing a pitt about Shodan. If you start a thread about Bush ,Shodan will say What about what Clinton did. It is not thread responsive and is diverting the thread. This is not about Laura or about Kennedys driving. It is about the total lack of empathy and humanity Shodan showed by enjoying the health problems of Kennedy. Classless and as base as it was.. [/QUOTE] Utter bullshit. I was simply responding to a post made by Sarahfeena that stated that she could have no empathy for someone who had acted as recklessly as Kennedy had. My post was most certainly relevant in that regard. I did not post it to attack Laura Bush, but merely to point out that Sarahfeena’s arguments could be easily applied to someone on the other side of the political spectrum as well. I was curious as to whether she held the same contempt for such recklessness when it didn’t involve someone she had already made her mind up to despise. ---

[QUOTE=Ensign Edison] Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you always this deficient at recognizing different rhetorical styles not meant to be taken literally? He was parodying the position that it’s okay to wish bad things on someone as long as it’s just your initial emotional response. Obviously, dipshit. [/QUOTE] Actually, **Polycarp** admitted [in this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=469017) that it was intentional, not a parody at all. He also apologized for it, **Sarahfeena** accepted, and we’re all moving on. Back to piling on **Shodan**. 😃 ---

Shodan, you are such a fucking moron in [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9823633&postcount=46)- it doesn’t deserve its own pitting but I couldn’t say what I wanted to in that forum so I’m saying it here. Goddamn you are a stupid, thick, small-minded sack of monkey shit. How many times does it have to be explained to you that there is a difference between holding a view, and publishing said view in a fucking newspaper where you also happen to mention your place of work? It’s not difficult, you stupid fuck. Either you’re being deliberately obtuse as a brilliant parody, or you’re the stupidest fucker on the planet. Guess where my money is. What’s the difference between Shodan’s brain and a bag of shit? The bag. ---

Amazing. It’s considered inappropriate to refer to someone in the Pit as “being in a snit”? Wow. I’ll have to remember that putdown. Maybe I’ll become famous for my cleverness. I hope that’s not considered jerkish behavior. You know, **Sarahfeena** , that’s the risk you take when you’re on a message board – especially when you participate in a place like The Pit. Somewhere, someday, someone may say that you’re in a snit. Don’t let them see your chin tremble. Or was your response just a way to dodge **Miller’s** question again: > [@](#): > > …what could Kennedy have done after the fact to redeem himself in your eyes?
