Snowboarder Bo: Enough with the fucking quarry

[TroutMan]

@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.

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?

Maybe not in the last 3 minutes.

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.

He is marked as an asshat because he has this reaction.

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.

This is not a NEW reaction: see previous Pit thread, etc.

So proceeding with that “information” an intelligent being would behave accordingly, using a strategy that had some chance at working. So it’s idiot or bully (or both!).

[Ambivalid]

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

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.

[Fubaya]

Jeez, this thread’s still going?

I assume everything’s ironed out and everyone has come to an understanding? Have I missed anything of substance in the past few days?

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.

1. The quarry got closed down.

2. Full of all sorts of shit.

3. Buckeyes win in OT

“Harshness”? Seriously? This from the person who brought up a comparison to Hitler?

Yes, we have all agreed that Bo shall continue using his catchphrase, and haters gonna hate.

Dude, you have been a laughingstock for several days and several pages now. Just drop out of the the thread. You aren’t Guin’s conscience. You aren’t Bo’s apologist.

@Tibby or Not Tibby

That’s easy. If I was Person A, I’d lop off Person B’s head and then use her large hat as a popcorn container.

Am I the bully in that scenario?..meh, bully’s gotta do what bully’s gotta do.

@Tibby or Not Tibby

And, of course, now that I’m a Bo-ist, I’d take person B’s head to the quarry after the movie and throw it in.

Man, some people really just do not learn, do they?

That’s a warning for you, too.

Yeah, but think of the sweet overtime you’re racking up on this week’s paycheck thanks to this thread.

Serious question: By your own definition, how is this not bullying?

[Truman_Burbank]

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.
