What were you THINKING?

Although it would have benefited from omitting the last four words: “and get a life.” Unless she just meant “stop trolling us.” But I have a strong distaste for anyone telling someone else to get a life, because whatever life they have does not meet the standards set by other people. It’s an easy and sloppy way to make oneself feel superior.

I would say “go touch grass.” Not to be around other people per se, but just to get away from whatever toxic engine is driving them.

Beck, the last person I would expect, is starting to act like an asshole, and I don’t get it.

I thought at first it was a single issue thing. It seemed that she has hatred for porn that she projects onto the actual sex workers who make it. And when people called her on it, she started acting all “woe is me” rather than being interested in listening.

We all have some issues like that. Hopefully, over time, she’ll be able to see the difference between thinking porn is often exploitative and not empowering and acting like anyone who feels empowered by it is just inferior.

But she’s started pulling that attitude in other threads outside the Pit. There’s a thread about grizzly bears that, among other things, discusses how there are bears that are taxonomically black bears, but which appear brown. And she was being confusing in how she talked about it, so people were trying to clarify and, if necessary, fight her ignorance.

And then she lets out this line:

Omg. Yes I saw a regular old Black bear.

That ok Boo-boo?

That last line is like the Beck in that Pit thread, and is completely out of character for her.

When you say stuff like that you believe your own eyes over scientific facts, people are going to respond to that with confusion at first, and then try to fight your ignorance. It doesn’t mean we need to lighten up. Fighting that type of ignorance is literally why this messageboard exists.

But the big thing is calling people condescending names outside the Pit, and just generally acting like a different, less likeable person

Please stop. I like you. I don’t like the way you’ve been acting lately.

Really? All of this seems completely in character for her. Next will be the “Y’all so mean!” and “I guess I’ll just put myself in the corner” and the “I have learned so much” posts. Many crosses will be climbed that day.

She has a pattern, it’s not a good one, and y’all suckers just eat it up because she’s a little old lady or some shit. If she were a RW Canadian, there’d be a dedicated Pit thread for her, 9000 posts long.

Hey. I’ve been cranky. Sorry if I hurt anyone’s feelings. Not usually my MO. I do have opinions occasionally, tho’

You cranky too, @Mr.–whatever your name is?

(BigT, I thought boo-boo was being cute. Didn’t mean it disparaging. You know like Yogi the bear and Boo-boo.)

I gather from your eventual final post that all the prior annoyingly ambiguous posts implying that despite common wisdom you believed you had in fact seen a Brown bear were deliberately ambiguous as a “joke”.

The problem with that is that it’s a real and common misconception among people who see brown-colored morphs of the American black bear that they have seen a Brown bear. That problem is exacerbated by the fact that you cannot make a joke like that land, because you’re so dimwitted that it’s impossible to know whether you are joking or whether you are just too stupid to understand. I’m still not completely convinced you understand.

I’m sure you’ll compulsively keep on with this kind of thing like some far more tedious version of the Colin Robinson energy vampire, but I don’t think it’s likely to be so well received if you try to bring the attention-whoring schtick of your personal blog threads to FQ.

Motherfucker, you’ll know when I’m cranky. Trying to bait me with whatever fake-cutesy shit this is, isn’t going to do it. It makes me want to hurl, not yell. :nauseated_face:

You’re just so tedious (jinx, @Riemann ). A minor irritant, not even a real annoyance. Sand in my shoe, not a thorn.

Oh, except the slut-shaming. That is annoying. But I’ve kept out of that thread precisely because you’re in it. I find that good policy in general.

Oh,Rie, old buddy. Don’t be such a jerk.
I know the difference between a Black bear and a Brown bear. I even know Polar bears are kinda white(notice not capitalized, white, because it’s a color, duh)
I have a Black bear skin on my floor. There’s one in my freezer, shot this year, waiting to be tanned. They are two different colors of black as far as we can tell right now.

I saw a brown bear…I was told by the game warden and others it was a Black bear.
I certainly wanted to believe I discovered a new or off range species of bear. Alas, no, I was quickly disavowed of this. And had to believe the truth.

It was FQ. I thought the title of the thread was misleading. I thought the question was answered where I understood, at least.

I was joking.
You know a funny, a jibe, a silly little thing? They are quite common. People do it all the time.
Granted, maybe it wasn’t so funny to all y’all with sticks up your ass about every teeny tiny thing I say.

Guess what?
I’m not all that important.
I’m no dipshit, or dimwit…or no ones “Little old lady”

Get over yourselves.
I ain’t going away.

Got that Boo-boo?

P. S. No slut shaming on my part. Reread.

Just loads and loads of men trying to tell me what to think.

I was under no illusion that your attention-seeking behavior was under your voluntary control. I have no doubt you enjoy the attention of abuse as much as you enjoy adulation from your enabling entourage. If I were mean and wanted you to go away I could start saying words that make you deeply uncomfortable like “consensual sexual activity”.

Why would that bother me?

You gain insight into your slut-shaming now?

Quick edit there , Quick draw.

I read right the first time.

I don’t shame people. We were talking about a much removed person, who none of us knows, in a hypothetical opinion thread. I said my opinion.
That’s it.

Tell the truth. Y’all been mad at me since the great “Bad, bad, bad thread title” please stop her situation went no where fast.

Even still, I changed my titles. I rarely post those anymore. Guess why? To please certain persons. I was never asked to. (In fact I’m often asked why I don’t do it anymore) I just did it 'cause I’m nice like that. For no one’s benefit but those certain persons.

ETA Rieman, I do like attention. Who doesn’t? Otherwise why would we be posting things on a message board ostensibly for others to read, and, oh yeah, pay attention to. Maybe comment on, chuckle about, think about. It’s kinda how communication works. If we didn’t pay attention we would all be talking into the wind, to no avail. Kinda boring. Right?

Love, hate, it’s all that sweet sweet attention. I think OnlyFans is perfect for you, what’s really going on it’s that you’re annoyed it wasn’t invented 50 years earlier. But perhaps you don’t realize how much demand there is for all kinds of performance. It’s never too late to embrace your inner slut.

Don’t think they have a genre for -1 yos. At least I hope not.

How much your own annoyance is showing is astounding.
I’m sure ‘old mansplaining jerks’ is a regular forum. Go on. Make yourself a little cash. I won’t shame you. I promise.

I hear good lighting is very important. Music might be nice.

Mild annoyance would be a fair description of how I felt when I paid little heed and all I knew was that you were a tedious attention-seeker. What you’re seeing now is a sharp drop-off in tolerance since I discovered recently what a truly nasty slut-shaming dogmatist you are, hiding behind this “little old me” schtick. Only someone so blissfully deficient in insight as you would find an angry reaction to your slut-shaming bullshit “astounding”.

Ok Riemann, you want the last word and say " ooh, goody, I win" go ahead.

I am what I am. You are tedious and tiring.

Too full of yourself to be bothered with.

It’s sad that you feed off of others like this. I hope you have a fine fine life.

I’m happy enough with mine.

Go ahead Mr.whats yer name. Do your worst.

I don’t really give a shit. Your namby pamby crap don’t bother me in the least .

Be careful, I may get attention from it.
