To be clear, when you say “I certainly didn’t bring this up,” that’s a goddamned lie. > [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Listen up. The bullying has got to go. It’s ugly.

It’s true. Read up thread. I have let this go. Everyday. I let it go. Many many times I’ve seen things posted. I wanted to remark. But I didn’t. But this went too far. You don’t wish someone would die. You just don’t. Even if it’s not against the rules. You don’t do that. I know nothing about Crane. Except some said he’s old. I wasn’t defending his faulty principles. I think “wishing death” or saying “fuck off and die” is horrible in any form. ---

Dumbass, you could have just said “hey guys, wishing death is wrong” without making it all about you and bringing up the alleged bullying. And then when people respond to the _shit you said_ you get your panties in a bunch and claim that you’re being bullied and harassed. You must _really_ enjoy the attention. ---

Beck, you are a deeply mentally ill mess. I don’t know if you’re drunk, or really low blood sugar, or just _you_, but I think I gotta let it go, in the same way that if a mangy toothless chihuahua were wheezing barks at me I’d not kick it away. ---

Grow the fuck up. @Left_Hand_of_Dorkness quoted the _exact post_ where you started this crap. This is why you get called a “fucking liar”. You are proving that no matter how old you get, you can still be a child. ---

You started it above that (2416 there about) Grow up yourself. No you No you No you. You’re ridiculous in how you claimed to have put me on ignore. But, yet you didn’t. You shouldn’t even be seeing what I post. What do you gain from this? Seems to me someone else is right in the thick of it. Oh, no do they like the attention they get from poking me? Must be lots of fun. Spend lots of hours doing it. I’m not your enemy. I don’t like nasty words. So sue me. It’s not nearly what you all make of it. No one cares what my opinion on curse words are. That’s clear to anyone who reads. LHoD …I may have some mental illness. We all do. I’m not on meds. I’m not crazy. I promise I’ve been checked out. I see a therapist for obvious reasons. See how normal you’ll feel when you’re nearing your demise. But I’m of sound mind. It is not pleasant. I make the best I can of it. I just checked my glucose, it is fine. I don’t drink alcohol. Ever. What I am is not afraid of you guys anymore. I learned that. You can call me every name in the book. I might argue the point. Because I know what I am. And …what I’m not. But you call away. It doesn’t hurt anymore. ---

With the benefit of my travels, may I suggest some alternatives to “racist” when that doesn’t quite fit? How about: bigoted, prejudiced, or intolerant. I like “bigoted” for stuff like what Beck said. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > You started it above that (2416 there about) What the fuck are you talking about? I did not drag up anything from the past. I made a tongue in cheek remark about how you called someone a “racist” for being biased against old people - age clearly not being a race - and yet you made comments about young people, thus making you “the real racist”. _You_ then decided to bring up whatever fucking past event you’re talking about, probably because Crane was getting too much attention and you got jealous. ---

That was not about a poster. It was a politician. In the wrong thread. I was noted. But I’ve seen way worse said about SHS. And other politicians. Way, way worse. I shouldn’t have said the word. In that thread. Or about any woman. I totally cop to it. I own it. I don’t deny it. Still it was not a Doper. ---
