You want to see pedantic?
For openers, if you’re going to call me an ignorant twit, and imply that I’m not literate, you might want to start by:
Spelling my name right;
Understanding the difference between “your” and “you’re”;
Learning how to spell “asinine” and “despicable” correctly.
I don’t personally give a shit if you can spell or not, but if you’re going to talk about ‘for all the literate folks,’ you should start by picking up a dictionary.
As for the rest of it…
Note that I didn’t say you pitied yourself – I said you were playing a ‘fake self pity card.’ And I’m still planning to ignore it.
Lessening the value of her act? I don’t see it. As I said before, the debate about her act is over. Only one person, in this thread or the original, ever said (wrongly, of course) that she wasn’t wrong for reading his email. A skim of the original thread yielded a count of at least half a dozen or so posters who specifically said she was wrong for doing it, about half of which went so far as to say that any wrongdoing he had done to her was totally eclipsed by her violation of his privacy. Not only that, she admitted in the OP in her thread that she wasn’t proud of doing it – and reiterated that sentiment in her post asking that the thread be closed. You started this thread for the express purpose of continuing to call her names (you don’t normally name-call so much? Yeah, the title of this thread here that you started really bears that out), and every single comment on her action that’s arisen in this thread says that she was wrong to snoop (except astro’s… sort of).
Again: the only debate in this thread is about your reaction to what she did. Everyone in this thread is saying that you are overreacting. No one’s talking about what she did any more. And no one’s defending it.
First: Yes I was saying that it wasn’t getting worked up over, that and that you were too quick to judge her. Selections from my first post to this thread: ‘You cannot accurately characterize a person you do not know as a ‘psycho bitch’ based on a single piece of evidence,’ and ‘I’m just saying she’s not obviously psycho… get over it.’ I don’t see how hard it is to discern the point of my post when I go to the trouble of specifically telling you what it is in the post itself. Other remarkably cogent statements from other posters include ‘It’s nothing to be proud of, but being quick to label someone as a “psycho bitch” is nothing to be proud of either,’ (Gary Kumquat) and ‘one small mistake does not a psycho-bitch make’ (Kayeby).
Second: You certainly couldn’t be bothered in your OP to explain what your point was. Never do you explicitly state that you started this thread because you were upset that the other thread was closed – in fact, you don’t even mention it in your OP. You didn’t specifically say that was what got your goat till your second post in this thread, and it’s a flat-out lie that you’ve made this point three times.
Anyway, I’m not speaking to her behavior, with regard to the guy in her OP or on this board. I agree with you in disliking people that ask for criticism when what they’re looking for is justification. What I’m saying is that she’s not obviously psycho, and that you cannot accurately judge her as a person based on the posts of hers that you read in the thread she started – and that from those posts, she is not obviously a psycho. Is that clear enough, or are you going to continue to accuse me in your next post of defending her actions?
EasyPhil, I have read it, thanks. Here’s the relevant statement: ‘Maybe you aren’t one of my psycho-stalker ex girlfriend’s, but your OP could have been made by one of them.’ Care to argue that that’s not equivalent to calling her a psycho? I assume we’re clear that he is calling her a ‘psycho bitch’ now, right? And even so, I’d contest the statement that one has the right to make unfounded personal insults just because this is the Pit. See my last post if you’re wondering why.
