I am properly ashamed for that. I am also properly ashamed for posting that. Must be the coffee and home made chocolate chip cookies this morning. Way too much sugar and caffine and free time on my hands today to be allowed on the message board. Find the thread that started this [here.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=597054) Trubie’s fun starts at post 71 with [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13466222&postcount=71) little gem. But she pits Superdude. She is a whiny little 20 something who thinks she’s hot shit on a biscuit because she got a 4 year scholarship and is now a substitute teacher. I value education and generally respect teachers. But respect is a two way street. She has none to give. ---

Don’t forget [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=13467327&postcount=39) gem. Reading that was where I went …wtf and looked up her other posts. She had already pinged my radar as a troll and an idiot, and as my bona fides earlier in this thread state, I usually stay out of crap like this. ---

Seriously. Smart has very little to do with education. Smart people learn what they need to learn to accomplish what they want in life by whatever means are available to them. The smartest person I’ve ever met never went to college. ---

I of course am no lady either after posting what I did in my spoiler ..uh..box. :smack: My boyfriend/hubby whatever ya call him is really concerned about the price of troll food lately, so I think I will step away from the thread for a while.

> [@Silver\_Fire](#): > > I had no idea Superdude still posts here. Also, I’m hungry. Actually, **Silver Fire** , I just started posting here again within the last week or two. I popped into The Pit just to see if anyone had Pitted **Trubie** yet. I had no idea until just now that there was a Pit thread about me. I feel honored. Or, I would, if it actually had any substance to it. **Trubie** , I know you’re not long for this board (put me down for the first of March), but, generally, when you Pit someone, it’s always a good idea to make a mention of it in the thread that inspired the Pitting. ---

> [@Mona\_Lisa\_Simpson](#): > > Yay! A pit thread for Trubie. I wrote out a rather long reply about community colleges after she completely missed the fucking point of my post… I did go to a university, then decided I wanted a different sort of job and chose community college for practical experience rather than a 4 year degree (which would have only taken me 2 years because I had electives already) that focused on theory. I did it because the job market in the early nineties was less than stellar, I was sick of being un/under employeed so I did what I needed to be employed full time. she then accused me of not knowing anything about the economy and called me Ms Never been Unemployeed. Never been unemployed is wrong, Ive had some tough moments, but when there were no jobs for teachers I decided to stop becoming a teacher. > > I wrote this all out, showed it to my boyfriend who doesn’t really read or post at the SDMB unless I show him a thread. He said to me “what’s that expression Do Not Feed the Trolls?”. So I erased the post and went looking for a pit thread with Trubie in it. > > Look up my stats. I have been a member since February 2000. I have less than 900 posts. I don’t usually get involved in debates. I rarely ever post in the Pit. I have never Pitted a SDMB member. > > But this Trubie, I never want her near my son’s class room. Dirty diapers don’t give anyone hepatitis, unless the diapers are from someone with hepatitis and you are drinking splashing or injecting yourself with infected fluids. Really. She also looks down on nurses, or is it only community college nurses. Next December when I get my BScN will her opinion magically change? > > Also, Trubie never responded to the fact that sometimes having a 4 year degree for something that can be taught at community college drives up the cost of labour, which actually is one thing that is causing problems in the world economy. Do plumbers need to go to a 4 year university? Do tv broadcasters? Diagnostic Imaging? > > There is a place in this world for people who barely finish or don’t finish highschool. There are places for people who apprentice, who go to trade school or community college. There are places for 2 and 4 year college graduates and people who need advanced degrees and PhDs. I don’t know if it is because Trubie is in her early 20s and wet behind the ears, (I do not think all 20 somethings are wet behind the ears) or if it is because she is both ignorant and a snob, but my problem is that she can not grasp that there is a middle ground. I like you accuse me of putting down your profession and being a snob, but you tried to put me down for being a sub. I don’t care for you or your opnion. Not because you went to community college. You’re a whiner and you have to play the victim. ---

No. Nobody’s mad at you - that would require that we give a shit enough to work up energy for being mad. What IS happening is that in between attempts to provide you with context and information, people are pointing and laughing. ---

> [@Duke](#): > > **Trubie** , let me tell you something about this board. NEVER brag about anything on this board. There will always be somebody here who not only has done what you have done, but has done a whole lot more to boot. Bragging about going to a “four-year school”? Oh, big whoop. We’ve got people here who went to med school, law school, doctoral programs at Ivy League schools and Oxbridge. You name it, we’ve probably had someone who’s done it. > > And, amazingly (apart from a few trolls and jerks), all of those people who’ve performed those feats of education refrain from being snooty about it. Know why? Look how many people are supporting you in this thread! I’m not trying to be mean to you, but when was I bragging? This started out in another thread with me explaining why I don’t consider community colleges real school. I felt this way while I still in high school. People are mad at me because they think I’m putting them down personally. I wonder how secure they are if they care what I think. When I come off as “bragging”, it’s only me countering people who act like community college is ever the only choice in a given situation. ---

As it is, I don’t have a kitteh, I have a pussy and although my pussy is not your business, it is not fluffy…😛 😃 I didn’t join to troll. My first post was not about community college. Hell, I didn’t even make the thread. If you want, you can thank Drain Bead. He started a thread and someone answered the question in a way he didn’t like he went apeshit. I’m not bragging. However, I will correct anyone who claims all real colleges are expensive and anyone who attends has to be rich. ---
