Yeah, far too many well-respected posters have spoken up here with valid critical observations about **BigT** ’s posts to hand-wave them all away like **kambuckta** does.

> **BigT** , for what it’s worth I’m behind you. A couple of times you have pissed me off in threads, but shit, MANY others have pissed me off by many multiples of a couple. The pile-on here is just most of the usual suspects trying to add value to their board-cred (something I thought had died out years ago, but I was obviously mistaken).

Yeah, thats a load of bollocks. This thread could have been one long parade of shut the fuck up bigtard, but it isn’t, its been far more blunt feedback than it has been a pile-on. You are imagining some other thread where the pittee just gets called a cunt for 14 pages but this ain’t it.

**kambuckta** , normally I respect the hell out of you. And I still do. But I must say, you are way off base with your characterization of many of **BigT’s** critics in this thread. There are far too many reasonable and even-tempered posters who are managing to criticize his behavior without insulting him.

I’ll tell you what, you compare someone like **Chimera** to **BigT** it’s not even close. **Chimera** ’s like this loose cannon spraying around near a filling station. You can just kind of tell from the loosey goose rhetoric, probably doesn’t understand a concept like intersectionality a whit (if you run a bus off the road carrying a relatively ignored minority like passengers with cystic fibrosis speeding on your way to counter protest a Nazi rally it might be a good idea to stop and treat the sacredness and dignity of their life as more than a speed bump).  
**BigT** is one of the most thoughtful posters I’ve seen. I wouldn’t expect to have to worry about him wantonly disregarding the feelings of anyone who is or may have hardship. It’s unfortunate if he takes the forum too seriously. I’ve never picked up on that - doesn’t seem blindingly obvious. Some of his critics clearly seem to take it.

Typical Liberal. Body shaming people they have a different opinion from. Just like a Nazi. Just because I have a narrow weener does not invalidate my opinion. Have you learned nothing from our Lord and Saviour **BigT** , Blessed be his Name, Who is First of His Name, Saviour of The Pit, Lecturer of the Unclean and Mother of Puppies, that that is not cool?

Be cool man.

Be like **BigT**. And be happy. 🙂 That way Humanity Wins. (Huwomanity also wins.)
