Of course he did. Teaching the little woman what for. All the while spewing vile shit to anyone he can cut their posts to fit his needs. Little old women should just sit there and shut up. What a nasty person he is. That Mr.whatshisname. ---

I learn it on this board, nearly 19 years ago. Tell me what a suitable replacement is? I’ll change to it. I believe the term used to be _drama queen_, but that was more misogynistic and less accurate. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > A third “I don’t give a fuck”. Yes. We all get that you don’t give a fuck. But what are you trying to achieve? Just keep piling it on until Beck leaves the board? You want her to unconditionally surrender? Would you be talking about an elderly person not having anal sex with her husband in real life if she got on your nerves? I mean for Christ sakes, she was annoying on a message board. She didn’t rob you, threaten you, kill your children. She was annoying. ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > Anyway: @Pleonast, she’s been posting along these lines both here and in IMHO for weeks now. My venting about her in the Pit is how I’m avoiding it elsewhere. The pit is a bit shitty, sure–but it’s my best effort to keep that shit out of IMHO, where she continues to celebrate the end of a teacher’s career based on the teacher’s off-campus activities, and continues to suggest that anyone who DOESN’T want to ruin this woman’s career must hate women. Oh, I totally agree with you about that poster. I don’t have them on ignore, but mostly because I don’t read threads they’re in. And I think you’re a great poster, which is why I wanted to push back at you where I did. While we might disagree on things, we can talk about it reasonably. > [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > > [@Pleonast](#): > > > > But @Left_Hand_of_Dorkness was advocating for shitty behavior in non-Pit forums.

So it goes. ---

Ask the late, great, unmissed shodan and SlackerInc if it matters what gender the fuckers I tussle with in the Pit are. Trying to turn your own misandry into misogyny on my part is just an obviously pathetic variant on your completely repetitive “Poor me. I’m going to stand in the corner” play act. You’ve gone back to that well too often to keep it the least bit believable, sunshine. Or ask YWTF how that worked. Bigots trying the classic nonny “No, U” tactic are so very amusing. Not. But hey, would you like more wood for that cross? ---

Yeah, I’m sure he was criticizing you for being a vulnerable little old woman, and not because of the misandristic nonsense you spew in every other post. Are we just gonna pretend you didn’t post this misandristic drivel about him immediately before he came at you? > [@Beckdawrek](#): > > You’re a creep. Skeevy nasty wish you had some, can’t get it, woman hating creep. Get over yourself. You’re over here starting shit and then play the victim when you get called out on it.

I’m ashamed of you that you feel you have to call me any name. I’m ashamed of this board for the name calling. It’s reprehensible that we have to be so juvenile and not have words to describe people with out insulting names. In my mind it’s similar to attacking someone. (I do apologize for calling him a creep, my reason was it was late and he said horrible things to a non-elderly(btw) person about her intimate life) ---

Clearly _something_ personal did. Maybe if that Hustler had mentioned lube alongside the piledriver shots, you wouldn’t still be butthurt over it. This is being annoying?

This is the Pit, don’t play in the pit and be an _attention seeking narcissist_ if you don’t want to be insulted in the pit. @Left_Hand_of_Dorkness @Sylvanz _attention seeking narcissist_ is a decent replacement for attention whore but man will that be hard to type on a phone.

But surely she is allowed to insult others and then play the victim despite her nasty petty over-exuberant sharing of “just her opinion” over and over again. I mean that is the MO of an _attention seeking narcissist_. ---
