I have been called a moron and a jerk and I am neither. Why hasn’t anyone called me a cheap slut sex poodle? Why? ---

I hang out so much here in The Pit I knew someone had to have called me a name at least once. One poster called me “immature” and said I had “no intellectual honesty”. I was mocking him at the time, so I guess he had a right to feel that way. Another called me a “rabid twit” and other, more earthy names. I’ll make no other comment on this one. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hamadryad \* > I have been called, by more than one person, both “cute” and “a sweetie.” I very fucking much, thank you, resent these black marks on my otherwise pristine reputation. But Hamadarling, you are both cute and a sweetie. As much as you try to put up the image of big, mean, nasty Hamadryad on the boards, you are really just a sweet cutie. So stop trying to hide it. ---

Cecil once called me a lousy speller. He acknowledged my existance. I feel so honored! It brings a tear to my squinty little eye! _sniff-sniff!_ The thread is the same one that Silo linked to earlier. -Ashley ---

Unfortunately, I am sure that the offender is much too busy defending the boards from petty, jealous, unsexy, killjoy twats like me. How can one stop for brownies when one has appointed oneself to such a crucial job? I am sure once he gets done saving the world for the rest of us, he’ll let us all know and we can reward him with brownies (and more) at that time. _reaching out for jarbaby’s tupperware container_ You gots any without the wrath? I could go for some with caramel baked in… ---
