ThelmaLou, you have arrived! Now that you have been pitted for some innocuous offence, by a lesser poster, you are a true SDMB denizen. Here-here!!
My Dearest Martha,
Today in the field with my fellow men, I was unfortunately rapped upon the crotch with a poorly timed kick during horseplay. In the first few moments, I considered myself a lucky man as no real ache revealed itself to me. My relief would not last, however as I soon felt a sharp pain begin itself within my mid-thigh. It felt not unlike a hot railroad spike being driven into my leg’s sinew itself, dearest, but the wild discomfort then began to travel northwards, to-ward my stomach and beset itself there. I doubled over in pain and my good friends were sympathetic to my plight but unable to assist in my time of need. I thought surely I would lose my lunchings of hardtack and ration of salted beef but I was fortunate to-day in this regard. Despite keeping my rations within me, I still consider this a most unfortunate of days.
Signed,
Alexander
How about I don’t explain anything to you and you just continue to pout that we’re not sufficiently down on Thelma Lou in this thread. It’s obviously quite important to you that we recognize the reality of the situation; that there were two wrongs done in the transaction between Thelma Lou and Textual Assault.
There was this’n right here and then there was that’n over there.
And gosh darn it, no one is recognizing that first one enough!
‘Textual Dysfunction’?

My very dear Thelma:
The indications are very strong that I shall be banned in a few days—perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be a guest no more.
O Thelma! If the banned can come back to this board and lurk unseen around those they disliked, I shall always be near you; in the brightest day and in the darkest night—amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours—always, always; and if there be a sock puppet upon your case, it shall be my sock puppet; or the hot air scorns your sobbing stories, it shall be my spirit passing by, and also my sock puppet.
Thelma, do not cheer me banned; think I am gone and wait for me, for we shall meet again. Maybe at the Giraffe board.

Agreed. Nice visual that sums things up perfectly.
I’m probably 50/50 on my agree/disagree rate with Thelma, but she seems to be a pretty good person. I don’t base my opinion of people on how often I agree with them. There is no need to make this thread about her. It’s a perfectly good boomerang Pit Thread, hitting the OP right smack in the noggin.
Not really, no. I’ve stated pretty clearly that I think ThelmaLou seems like a very nice lady and that Textual Assault wildly overreacted. You somehow missed that and I’m sure you’re just as unenthused about explaining that little inconsistency in your narrative as the last. I bid you good day, sir.
Jesus on a carousel, you’re being a real dick lately, CarnalK. You doing ok?
He was bitten by weredick. Like werewolf, but the moon doesn’t matter.
Rereading ThelmaLou’s comment after it was linked again above, I find I’m actually even more sympathetic. I can’t really see how you can argue she’s wrong. She found the joke to be “flippant” and unfunny. That’s just a taste issue. She’s entitled to her own taste on whether she finds something funny. And of course a widow might find a joke on that topic unfunny.
She also agrees with Lamoral who says that the OP probably wasn’t trying to come off as flippant. So she’s not even being accusatory. She just didn’t like the comment.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying she’s right. I’m saying I see it as just a taste issue, and thus there is no right or wrong. It seems no different to me than when someone makes an anti-rape joke and a rape victim finds it unfunny and flippant. I don’t think they are wrong, either.
You can share your opinion. It’s only a problem if you demand they never do it again.
Far as I can tell, my crime in this thread has been not actively joining in the Pit reversal.
Yeah 
I’m starting to suspect the OP is just a raging asshole. I may be wrong, but …
This has got to be one of the most clever parodies I have seen on this board! My congratulations. I love stuff like this but I don’t really have the talent to compose it.
Never said crime. You’ve just been out in force recently, hammering pretty hard on a wide array of topics, and coming across as super aggro. Just wondering if everything was going ok with you, yanno, personally. I mean, if it’s just your way of blowing off steam, good on ya I suppose.
You’re not the only one who’s noticed this.
Dear Crabby
I really need your help, Crabby. I’m a bit confused. Am I supposed to be hating on Textual Attack or ThelmaLou? Should I just hate on both of them to be safe?
Your fiend,
Lazy & Ill-Informed Hater in Poughkeepsie*
*not actually in Poughkeepsie
I guess I am blowing off steam but this and the “wypipo” are the only two topics I can imagine anyone would call me super aggro in during the past month so I’m not really sure what you’re noticing.
Thank you.
But I never wrote that I hated the show, Burns stuff is always interesting, but his Vietnam war doc had been hyped and hyped and hyped for more than two years as being the semi-be all and end all story of the war, with the promise of an avalanche of new facts and the reality was nothing like that.
Learn how to read.
Actually don’t bother, just have mommy read to you while she changes your beshitted pants for the 10th time today.
