> [@bucketybuck](#): > > I think its hilarious actually. He has posted more times in this thread than any other person, 29 times as of this minute, and yet has had about two replies in total. He’s happily posting away to himself and doesn’t seem to care that nobody is interacting with him. I wish I could have as much fun on my own in a thread. Partly it’s his lack of humor, and partly it’s because he’s earned his way onto many ignore lists with his trolling in other threads. And it’s not plain hilarious, it’s _fucking_ hilarious and comedy gold. Get it right. ---

> [@Peremensoe](#): > > Only asshats have this reaction. Although I disagree with that, isn’t he being accused of being an asshat, and thus his reaction of not stopping as a result of this pitting would be even MORE predictable? Further supporting that that was NOT the intention? And therefore, what was the actual intention? To stop him or to get others to join in mocking and deriding him for his harmless and victimless joke? ---

So, let’s get this straight: by saying, “Hey, cut this shit out, it’s really fucking annoying”, I am somehow demanding that **Bo** stop something he likes doing, and therefore, that counts as bullying? Ooookay. To me it’s like asking someone not to keep snapping their gum all the time. You want to think of that as bullying? So be it. (BTW, **Bo** , I don’t actually think you suck, personally. It was a quote from _Office Space_. And before anyone points out, “well, why can YOU use a quote and he can’t”, I’ll remind you that it’s not the particular quote he uses, it’s the fact that he uses it over, and over, and over again.) I find this behavior obnoxious, and really wish you’d quit. Like I said, compared to some posts I’ve made in the Pit over the years, this was really, seriously mild. If saying, “you suck”, is bullying and really, really bugs you, then you’re probably not cut out for the Pit, dude. I’ve been told worse. **AnaMen** , you might want to pull that stick out of your ass until it reaches your throat. ---

Wow, try stepping away from the internet, have a peek at tangible objects and get some perspective. Someone’s joke you don’t like is not “really fucking annoying” and being proud of yourself for the level of harshness you’ve dished out to others is seriously assholish. Newsflash: the world was not created to please you, so there is no need for reports or spastic fits when it isn’t what you think you deserve. Other people get to make jokes, get over yourself. ---

I honestly believe someone has to _want_, on some level, something to be annoyed about in order to find such fluff _actually_ annoying. ---

So it’s idiot or bully (or both!). So you’re saying that he is _intractably_ an asshat? 😛 He has no hope of reconsidering his posture relative to the people he hopes will read his thoughts? Look, _he’s_ the one that ought to care about changing his behavior; people that find him annoying/useless can just ignore him. ---

I didn’t say he is/was an asshat at all. If you are trying to stop someone YOU consider an asshat from doing something, you’d use a strategy that you expect would work on asshats, NOT one that would have the opposite effect. Unless you’re an idiot, of course. ---

So, I probably am misunderstanding this, but I recall reading somewhere in this thread that the “catchphrase” wasn’t even originated by Bo, but from an episode of The Office I have not been fortunate enough to be familiar with. So I don’t get Bo’s persistence - firstly, it isn’t much of a claim to fame, but it seems so important to him, and secondly, he didn’t create it, so? It would be as if I plucked a line out of Princess Bride or some such and parroted it relentlessly - where is my accomplishment in that? Am I missing something, or is this about the case? If so, dude, that’s just sad. You must have more going for you somewhere, think about it. Maybe ask your Mom what makes you special. This isn’t it.
