I started an ATMB thread, but I’m not entirely disagreeing with you. This shit is plain. It’s simple. Kick the motherfucker to the outer darkness.

Seriously, I’m not interested in the Straight Dope if this bullshit is allowed. The Mods should be better than that.

New question: what the fuck do you have against vultures? Do you WANT our landscape piled up with rotting carcasses? DO YOU WANT THAT???

Fight your ignorance of basic ecology.

Only 46 days left until [the vultures return to Hinckley, Ohio](https://www.ohiotraveler.com/hinckley-home-of-the-buzzard/) and the nation can rejoice once again.

The question of why the vultures/buzzards return so faithfully to Hinckley is explained in the link by a historic wildlife kill that occurred there, imprinting on avian memory so that they keep coming back. Maybe similar imprinting will occur as a result of this historic :dubious: Pit thread, so that Dope Vultures in vast numbers will return to the Pit in years to come.

A-ha! “Huey” is an invention of Dope Administration for jacking up visits to the board. I _knew_ it!

> I support this post, insofar, that I think it’s very heartwarming how you and the other aging cult members are coming out the woodwork to defend Guinastasia. It’s both interesting and endearing to see the whole Bedouin proverb “Me against my brother, my brother and I against my cousin, and all of us against the stranger (or person of color)” be acted out in real-time on a message board. It’s a shame this fitful expression of empathy and compassion does not extend to people of color; but I am nonetheless impressed that there is a spark of humanity there flickering in the darkness. It should go without saying that I welcome your hatred, your derision, your hypocrisy, and your mockery. I eat it for breakfast. I don’t want your acceptance, approval, sympathy, or support; and I’m more than capable of handling myself against\*\* all of you\*\*. How I treat these monsters, these vultures, is, in many ways, not just a reflection of my experience here but a microcosm of what is ailing the country.
> 
> In regards to Guinastasia, it is (and never was) personal. If someone comes after me, I will come after them. Just ask your resident racist that you love to protect - Grand Dragon (aka Komodo Dragon) Shodan. But setting the offspring-eating Komodo Dragon aside, a good example would be Sunny Daze who actually started this thread. And, frankly, Sunny Daze has more of a reason to hate me than Guinastasia because Sunny Daze (apparently) has a child who is special needs. And, despite being offended by my words, Sunny Daze doesn’t chase me thread-to-thread asking stupid ass questions like whether I beat my wife or accusing me of being a white conservative masquerading a person of color. I just had enough of Guinastasia and let her have it. I don’t feel sorry about it. I won’t apologize. And, although,over the last few months, I’ve completely dehumanized most of you to the point that I don’t look at you as human, I do recognize that I could have possibly hurt her and have endeavored to leave Guinastasia alone.

This is an unofficial warning for being boring. We don’t tolerate that behavior around here, and by “we” I mean I. Any further posts of this nature may result in the loss of your visibility privileges and a bill for the repairs to my temporomandibular joints being damaged from excessive yawning.

I’ve been begging for you all to report me to the FBI, but alas, I’ve not been contacted by the Bureau. But, if thinking that I am a Scientologist makes you feel better or helps you put my posts in context, then have it. Setting this aside, it is clear from the responses, that my presence here has become an existential threat to the SDMB. My words (and the feelings they engender by those in this white space) are more destructive than the sustained racism against people of color that members here have been trafficking for decades. It is more destructive than the scores upon scores (if not hundreds) of threads that paint people of color as ignorant and shiftless. As another person commented, my presence has single-handedly turned this forum into a “cesspool”. Due to my threatening, forum-destroying presence, I strongly suggest you and others take immediate action to protect your aging cult from being destroyed by my words. You and others should talk to the staff at the SDMB to change the rules. And, because you’re white, you views will be heard, considered, and adjudicated by the white staff here. You can best believe that. Here are my suggestions for you and the others who have been hurt and disabused by my words.

You don’t have some uninteresting response calling everyone who disagrees with you a white supremacist? How boring. Poor poor little Huey. So there is no depth you won’t sink to, we best believe that, right? But here you can’t muster the energy. Sad.

It is a strange idea to get used to that what’s said in the Pit stays in the Pit when it really doesn’t. He’s got an ATMB thread directed at him where people are wishing to invoke the so-called nebulous and potentially all encompassing “jerk rule” which Ed actually had an interesting post about in the morgenstern ATMB thread. Why would he want to antagonize those who decide his fate?

After rereading those sentences, I’m glad I no longer need to take English.

The former is, once again, a logical trap. It has nothing to do with whether you beat your wife. (You know, one of the traits of autism is taking everything literally, and failing to get analogies. Just saying.) 😉

You haven’t hurt me. As Pierre Trudeau once said of Richard Nixon, “I’ve been called worse things by better people.”

But that reminds me, **Huey** : I’d like to know, what makes YOU special. As I’ve pointed out, over and over and over again, why are YOU any different from the people who have come here, for years, acting the same exact way. The only difference is the subject.

Someone comes here, and immediately starts ranting and preaching about subject X, acting very passionate, often belligerant, accusatory, poisoning the well, etc. And when called on it, or someone says, “whoa dude, chill – you might want to check out how things work around here, or look at the way the place is run, or here are the rules” or WHATEVER, said person immediately starts saying, “Well, see – you’re just against X. You’re only saying that because you don’t like X. People who don’t like X are ALWAYS going to do that. They always do. This is an anti-X place.”  
Why are YOU any different? Why should we take YOU seriously? Because you’re a POC? Because you’re talking about black issues? How are black issues any different than other ones? Please, let us know. I’m asking you honestly, right now.

(Now I have a hockey game to watch. LET’S GO PENS!!!)

Fuck all of you mother fuckers!!!

All you’ve done over the past 2-3 years I’ve been posting here is convincing me that SDMB is a board for white males. There’s misogyny. There’s racism. You all tolerate a shit ton of dog whistling but the moment a black man with an edge starts gettin nasty with the white majority here, he’s gone.

I fucking shit on all of you. Fucking go to hell

Nah. If you really didn’t care, you would have done this in the ATMB thread instead of posting there and then immediately coming here to put up the PG-13 version of the exact same post.

I mean sure, vent, but don’t pretend that you’re being all edgy about it.

Yeah that’s right.

Congratulate yourselves on running people off. I guess that’s what smug suburban “PROGRESSIVE” white mother fuckers do when they’re dancing on the grave of a black man who wasn’t deferential enough, didn’t show enough gratitude, dared to show the Doberman’s teeth.

Like I said, a civil rights pioneer in the eyes of a white man is a safe negro. Huey wasn’t a safe negro. He was an angry black man, and therefore he was a “troll.”

“Gee, that’s funny, Bob. I’ve worked with, sat next to the bus with some black guys, and none of them remind me of Huey. So he must be a troll. HAHA!”

I’m gonna tell you some shit. I grew up in Louisiana, where you can cut racial tension in the air with a fucking knife. I met plenty of black men who couldn’t fucking stand being in the presence of whites, but they had no goddamn choice. But you could tell: they wanted nothing to do with whites. Probably because it’s also the same state where their fathers, uncles, older brothers, and grandfathers got lynched. You all probably live in places where you all have a safe white majority, where you all don’t understand the Black experience. Or the white/black dynamic. You’ve got no mother fuckin clue. You all have an expectation of how a Negro should behave, and Huey ain’t that kind of Negro. And you hate the fact that a Black man has the freedom not only to vote and be a good civic-minded person, but you all hate the fact that someone like Huey has the freedom to hate your ass back, the same way your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents generation hated on his.

Don’t explain how your parents had nothing to do with it. You’re not living with the aftermath of a legacy; Huey is. You can call him a troll if you want, but you’re just displaying your own ignorance. But talk to me about individualism, if you want.
