I was going to add my two cents, but this… > [@malkavia](#): > > I’m surprised at how surprised everyone is by Clothahump’s behavior. After reading some of his other posts, only true surprise for me is how someone so seemingly mean-spirited could pick a username that cool. The mind boggles. …pretty much sums things up for me. ‘Clothahump disgraces username, self. Also in the news today, pope professes Catholicism, bear shit found in woods.’ ---

> [@Polycarp](#): > > Just for the record, in **WeRSauron** ’s thread regarding which Orthodox church is closest to the original, he decided to inform us all that they are all scam artists practicing their trade. Well… Emphatically stating that God doesn’t exist, that organized religion is a scam, or that believers may as well be worshipping a pink unicorn is pretty much de rigueur for GD thread that even remotely touches upon Christianity. Regarding the OP, though, itwas super rude of **clothahump** to make that comment in that thread. That’s no way to treat a lady. ---

We have this little [gem](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5652036&postcount=214) from the thread that prompted Aldebaran’s banning: > [@Clothahump](#): > > But we have a saying here: you can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

A nice happy thread which should have remained so. People who have the need to come in and judge the worthiness of others’ posts and threads (whether happy ones, or griping ones), and then leave snotty angry words, like little piles of runny dog poo, just in an attempt to ease their own pathetic existances, (and not even clever words at that), are the worst kind of jerk. ---

**Miss Kaitlyn** - You just shot to the top of the list of Coolest Folks I Ever Heard Of. **Clothahump** , Let’s say I’m out walking the dog one day and as we come back inside I notice a tiny brown smear on the sole of my brand new hiking boots. “What can that be?” I says to myself, as a primal sense of foreboding begins to envelop me. Closer inspection reveals that my worst fear is upon me. I have stepped in a steaming mess of **Clothahump!** In short order I)Shave my dog and bury the fur way down deep. 2)Strip, shave myself all over, burn my clothes and bury them way down deep. 3) Call the city and have my house condemned. 4)Donate my house to the fire department so they can burn it. 5) Bury the ashes way down deep. 6)Work real hard, make a lot of money, buy the company that made the boots, recall every pair sold of that style, and discontinue the style. 7)Spend the rest of my life in pursuit of some method of salvation that will cleanse from me the foulness of having come in contact with the nasty, small-minded, fecal-breathed, wretchedness that is the essence of you. ---

So his being a jerk aside, pitting is more like pitters throwing rotten fruit than changing the pit-es attitude? 🙂 ---

**Polycarp** , **silenus** , **Bippy** : thank you. If one could die of blushing, I wouldn’t be here to write this post. I have to admit that I had second thoughts about posting in a Pit thread for **clothahump** at all. I can’t imagine what he intended to do with that offtopic driveby except cause uproar and/or pat his delusional self on the back for “defending” wholesome values. As such, I imagine that either he’d be thrilled at causing a Pit-worthy uproar, or just simply view our words as proof that he must continue his battle for the “good and right”. No insult is intended towards **Kythereia** , with whom I agree 100% on this topic, or anyone else who posted here. I think I’m just getting cynical that people who act like jerks will ever change. I guess I just wish it was so self-evident that **clothahump** was an immature jerk of the highest order that a Pit thread would be unnecessary. ---

Well on the one hand, flaming like this tends not to lead to any ignorance being fought such that the pittee is smarter (or, at least, such that the pitee doesn’t smell and look quite as much like Teh St00pid). On the other hand, if past behavior is any indication the pittee has no designs on listening to a viewpoint not originating from the recesses of eir rectum, so there isn’t much of a point. The important questions thus become: **Kaitlyn** , what did you wear today? Could you take\* Jackie Chan in it? \*[sub]The lovely thing about this board is that I can say things like that and know where things may lead…:D[/sub] ---

Well, this is fascinating, to say the least. I posted an absolutely true statement and we are up to three pages ripping me a new one for doing it. I stand behind my statement: someone with XY is male, period. At least as far as we know now; sometime in the future, medical science might be able to change that, but they can’t today. Could I have phrased it differently? Sure. Would it have made a bit of difference? Probably not.
