Cheesus, not you drop. This thing:

Andros:
Look man, the point of the BBQ Pit is to slag off people you don’t like.
It is meant for hyperbole and, hopefully, amusing and creative insults.
The vitriol is playful. The vitriol is part and parcel of the Pit - even in it’s current watered down to American beer level.
Do I truly hope that they choke to death on each other’s dicks? No.
I’m sure that they are perfectly wonderful people with whom I’d happily sit down to a casual supper and enjoy their company.
I’ll bet that in real life they hug puppies and rescue kittens.
This is not real life.
As far as their conduct in this board goes they suck rancid donkey nuts. They suck them and then lick their fingers while smiling droolfully.
The Pit is not the place for reasonable discourse. It is the place for… wait for it… BBQing people. To do so means vitriol.
If you aren’t able to see things in context then I feel bad for you. If you can see things in context and chose to get your panties in a bunch to be some sort of internet hero… then I feel bad for you.
In closing I will leave you with the following bit <– not directed at you but to the shoe-slimes that occasioned this.
My feelings about Big T and John fucking Mace
Lovingly yours;
Zeke
I didn’t want to write this while I’m feeling such shit (for other reasons–the handful of assholes on this board just aren’t that important), but I’ve become aware of some issues with my previous post.
This isn’t the first time this has happened. Normally, though, I just let it go. Because I hate stewing on things. And I assume that most people understand. But maybe this once it might be a good idea to set things straight.
Look, there are things that I take as given that I wonder if some of you don’t get. I don’t think all or most or even more than 2% of Dopers are horrible people. There’s just a small but vocal minority. The Dope itself is a generally fun place to be, or I wouldn’t be here.
And I’m not saying you don’t have the right to tell me that I got too upset about something. That’s fine. You tell me I blew something out of proportion. It happens–and not just to me. And, if I happen to see your response, I’ll probably agree with you. Hence the “apologies” I mentioned, even if I don’t exactly say the words “I’m sorry.”
But the thing is, I may get mad, but I say my thing, and it’s over. I don’t have a list of horrible people in my head. I don’t have this desire to follow them around and track down every time they do something that I can mock them for.
My point is, I’ve noticed that the people who harass me are always people who harass other people, too. They’re never decent people. So expecting me to care if they think poorly of me is fucking stupid. I’m not going to turn into a kissass for them. I grew out of that in high school.
I don’t care what they think about me. I care that they are getting away with being assholes, because so many people will just ignore them and think that makes it go away. But I’ve seen it in action. It doesn’t go away. It gets worse, until someone says something. It’s happened to me personally.
You may not have noticed, but this board is quite different than it was when I first got here. People call others on the same stuff I used to. Hell, there are even occasional “lectures” that bug me–but then I realize it’s only because I think they are wrong, and not because they were wrong to say anything.
My previous response was targeted only at the fucking assholes who make a game out of harassing me because they have a problem with me and other Dopers, probably because making fun of them is how they make themselves feel better. It does not apply to 98% of this board.
And, BTW, no matter how long this thread gets, it will not change my mind. I saw how long the Stoid thread got, when there was absolutely no legitimate complaint. Also why I don’t really read my pit threads, because Stoid was being a dumbass to keep on responding.
No legitimate complaint? She was abusing drugs and breaking the law. And she was in denial.
Look ya fucking monkey.
The problem isn’t that you “get mad”, the problem is that you insist on putting in your 2 cents at every opportunity. No matter the topic you seem to feel the need to come in and Dr. Phil all over the place.
You are the obnoxious dick at a party who interferes with every conversation in a pitiful attempt to prove your existence. You seldom have anything worthwhile to say and you take a page and a half to say it.
The problem is not that people think you are wrong; the problem is that people dislike being lectured and condescended to.
If it makes you feel better to believe that everyone else is an asshole and you have sole claim to the realm of the angelic then fine - delude yourself. But keep in mind that if 9 out of 10 people say you suck and you are the 1 out of 10 that doesn’t perhaps the problem lies with you.
So kick-back in your smug self-assurance and assume that you are the misunderstood hero but shut the fuck up while you do it.
Take this thread as a destructive criticism and consider the reason behind it - hint; it is not that we are all playground bullies looking to thump a weaker.
Ask yourself if there may be something odious in your behaviour and then either correct it or accept that folks will continue to abreact.
You’re not being bullied you are being called to task for being an insufferable fuckwit whose fuckwittery is inflicted - constantly and at painfully great length - upon a largely innocent public.
See, it’s simple. Much like you.
Zeke
Why must you insult the monkeys?
why? Why? Why?
Blah blah blah, yes, yes. I’m aware.
I’m just surprised that anyone would choose to direct such bile at Mace, that’s all.
I’m sorry that I offended your wussy-puff sensibilities. Please accept my apologies and sincerest hope that…
Naw
I was going to wax eloquent while I mocked you but it is not worth the effort.
- Both of them deserve a thumping
- You dismissed my fair and reasoned explanation with “blah blah blah”
- You give the impression that you are defending John fucking Mace
- No one other than your sissy-pants ass has disagreed with my assessment of the two of them
With those things in mind I say to you - with all due respect (ie none) go and fucking Kumbaya with the rest of the namaste crowd.
Peace be unto you and all that other shit but really, seriously, deep-throat, swallow and then pass a cactus.
Please take a selfie throughout the process so that you can at least provide some amusement for those of us who are capable of thought.
Sorry, I forgot you can’t tolerate things that exceed twitter so I’ll TLDR it for your manatee ass:
Grab a fucking spine, and a brain if you can be assed to do so. Slobber-monkey.
Yours in the eternal spirit of loving humanity;
Zeke
P.S. Namaste
Oh my goodness gracious! That must have really gotten your petticoats in a twisty knot.
Everyone should treat their drugs with kindness and respect.
BigT, I’m only asking this because I’m not clear who you are talking to in your last post. Since you singled me out earlier, was any of that directed at me? Do you think I’m one of the “fucking assholes” who are harassing you or what? I’d just like to understand who stands where. Thanks.
ETA: And it’s fine either way. We’re all entitled to our opinions.
He claimed there was ni legitimate complaint when in fact there was. And I love to get my petticoats in a twisty knot tyvm.
There is no way he thinks ur an effing asshole. Of that I am sure.
“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.” - Harlan Ellison
So does Ellison propose to forcefully change uninformed opinions? Or to prevent them from being expressed? I suppose he also thinks he should be the judge of sufficient informed-ness.
This is my informed opinion—Harlan Ellison is an arrogant ass.
So much for that…
If that was your intention, you failed. Sorry. But if it makes you feel better to believe it, have fun.
I get that. I’m just surprised, that’s all. Which is, if you’ll note, all I said.
No, I dismissed a post that was trying awfully hard to be condescending and contemptuous, and dismally failing. But I’m sorry that I offended your wussy-puff sensibilities.
Your inference, not my implication. Again, all I said was that I was surprised. Mace has always struck me as generally a good egg; your anger towards him is merely a surprise. I was unaware that anyone would spend time and effort to bag on him.
“Sissy-pants ass.” Really? That’s…kinda sad.
I cannot disagree with your assessment of John Mace for the simple reason that you haven’t provided one.
I totally get that you have a hard-on for John Mace. Have fun with that.
Even though I voiced how much your lectures annoy me, Big T, I am feeling a little sorry for you at the moment. Honestly, deep down I think you mean well; but somehow, I feel, you are just having trouble seeing how you come across.
Perhaps I am projecting, but much of my life I’ve been an outcast for one reason or another - a bit of a loner (though not so much these days). I think you feel too much that the world just consists of big people picking on little people; and you feel that you are the one always defending the little people, the innocent ones. You want people to know how hurtful they can be, how unfair, how cruel and mindless to others. I agree with all those things; unfortunately it is not always that way . . . .
I’m lecturing, I think i’ll stop now. But FWIW I retract what I said earlier, and think you should continue posting here in whatever way within the rules suits you.
And was when I lost ALL RESPECT FOR YOU!
Hah, just kidding. Who are you, again?
Dinner and a show, minimum.
