Who the fuck do you think you are, Jubei2k?

The BBQ Pit
1

jubei2k recently had occasion to open his pie-hole, and in doing so, vomited forth the following words:

"y’know, I just finished watching a flick called “eXisteZ” with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law. I kinda was hoping for an review of that film after reading your subject line.

Instead I get angst-filled schoolboy crap. Lighten up."

You son of a bitch. You motherfucking asshole. I am absolutely consumed with anger.

You don’t know me. I’ve never corresponded with you on this board, let alone talked to you in person, so don’t you ever condenscend to me like that again. For me, at least, the unknowable aspects of existence can get a little fucking disconcerting, especially for someone such as myself. I’m only fucking 21 and have already undergone a pair of open-heart surgeries, with another one looming in the horizon. I may be dying soon, you insensitive motherfucking jerk. In other words, I’m familiar with my mortality. And no, I won’t “lighten up” about it. It’s unsettling sometimes, okay, jackass? Besides, like I said, I wasn’t being completely serious when I wrote that. A good portion of it was tongue-in-cheek.

And by the way, if you’re going to attempt to one-up me with some story about how you, yourself, had to watch a busload of nuns and orphans be killed in Vietnam, so you, too, have been near death, blah blah…lemme tell you right now, it ain’t gonna work, bunky, because if you TRULY were mature and understanding and worldly, or whatever admirable traits I’m sure you’re going to attribute to yourself in your defense, you would have never made such an
uncalled-for comment.

Asshole.

May we have a link?

Hey DB, everyone has a bad day, and I know several posters here on the board are dealing with life threatening illnesses or conditions on a daily basis, so you aren’t alone. As you mentioned to jubei2k, he doesn’t know you, and that is precisely why he was uncomfortable with the subject of your rant and he made a light-hearted comment in your thread. He wasn’t the only one in fact, so I am surprised you singled him out. I know you are pissed off about some of the current circumstances in your life, but just because someone can’t commiserate with your pain doesn’t mean they are an asshole.

I don’t know if there is anyone in your real-life you can talk to, but I think you need more than a place to anonymously rant on a message board right now. I think you need someone to hear your pain and let you know that you matter, that you are important.

Hang in there bud, and find someone to talk to.

Has it occured to you, dear DB, that Jube might have been, oh I dunno, JOKING when he made that post?

I know, humour looks weird at first. But it happens all the time on these boards. To paraphrase a Denis Leary quote from that other thread:

"This is the Pit. Get a fucking helmet."
BTW: ExistenZ left me both excited and amazed. A great, yet somewhat disturbing movie.

6

Damn! Way to over-react!

Question for ya, DB. *If you’ve never corresponded with Jube on this board, let alone talked to him in person, why do you condenscend him like that? *

Not all responses on this board are sunshine and rainbows and teddy bears. If you can’t handle the good with the bad, maybe a message board isn’t for you. You might want to grow a thicker skin if you decide to hang around.

Besides, being “absolutely consumed with anger” can’t be good for the old ticker, can it?

7

Well DB, maybe you should lighten up. I mean, if you did know the meaning of life, would it make things any better? If you are going to die, you should stop posting in the pit, and go live your life, instead of just bitching about it.

8

That’s right, baby, I DON’T know you. But if I DID know you, I’d advise you to grab a beer out of the fridge, park yourself on the couch, and chill the fuck out.

Bunky?? All of a sudden I’m talking to Wolverine?? Wait, I think he called people “bub.” One of the X-men called people “bunky,” though, I’m sure of it!!

Friend, if you post something titled “I fucking HATE existence,” especially in the pit, don’t expect some of us not to laugh. By the way, you should rent that movie “eXistenZ.” This watcher found it to be an action-packed rollercoaster! And Jude Law is so handsome!

And my best wishes for a full recovery. Have a great day!
love always!

Oh come on jubei! I saw your name as the most recent poster, and I was expecting a flame. But instead I get THIS?! Man, you gotta do better than that!

10

:wink: I’m listening to Miles Davis. You try flaming someone while listening to Miles Daves. He got the nice guy reply.

11

First of all:

As I’ve said…I wasn’t being completely serious when I wrote what I did. I mean, I was attempting to sound melodramatic, although their were some serious underpinnings there.

Second of all:

As to the claim that I singled jube out, that’s not true. I mean, I didn’t care about all the other silly bullshit people were saying in response. I expected that. But jube just out-and-out insulted me for no reason. And that pissed me off.

Freakfreely:

Aren’t you the mental giant who said that a fetus was a parasite up until somebody went and bitch-slapped you with a Webster’s Dictionary definition or something? And, by the way, I find it ironic that someone with almost 600 posts made in the past 3 months on an Internet message board is advising me to go out and live life.

Jube:

“And my best wishes for a full recovery. Have a great day!” That’s really classy. Thanks!

Wanderer:

Thank you for looking at both sides of the issue. I’m not angry at Jube because he can’t commisserate. I’m angry because of the “angst filled schoolboy” cut. It didn’t seem “light-hearted.” It just seemed like an asshole thing to say.

Diane:

“Question for ya, DB. If you’ve never corresponded with Jube on this board, let alone talked to him in person, why do you condenscend him like that?”

Um…do you even know what the word “condenscend” means?

12

By the way, I understand the intention of the Pit, or at least I thought I did. Rant and bitch in general, and perhaps get some people to say, “Right on!” or whatnot, or personally go after someone who’s done you wrong here on the Board. The reason jube cheesed me off was that his comment was completely random and unwarrented.

13

Whoops…one more thing…I’d like to thank all the armchair psychologists who offered their sage advice back at the post that started all this. Where would I be without the “don’t take life so seriously, fucker,” or the “hey, you stupid asshole, life is like nothingness, dude, and I’m perfectly fine with that.” panaceas you folks so generously offered? It’s reassuring to see that so many of you have never hurt or wondered what it was all about, or got sick of the fact that you HAVE to wonder.

14

After re-reading that thread and posting to it I just have to say

TAKE A DEEP BREATH!

I think you really just over reacted. You took that post in a really bad place. Just calm down, re-read it and go over it in your own mind. He/She wasn’t saying anything that anyone else wasn’t saying, really.

And I find it very interesting that after all the positive feedback and heartfelt beliefs you were given that you jumped on that one particular post.

Are you really looking for answers or were you looking for someone’s shit to jump?

It’s okay if you honestly were looking for a fight; I’ve done it too. But be honest about it.

I don’t think this poster was really trying to hurt you.

And really, after all those postings, where are YOU at?

15

DB, fuck you. I didn’t make a personal attack. That was uncalled for.

I still stand behind that opinion. It’s a metaphor, not a definitive thing. Besides, if everyone used words strictly by the technical definition, no one would be saying “That sucks, man.” Unless they were talking about a vacuum cleaner. Using a dictionary to disprove an abstract argument is like using a bible to dispute scientific theory.

I didn’t say that’s what I do, I said it’s what you should do. I mean, if I told you to do what I do, you probably wouldn’t be real happy with it.

I post all the time because I don’t have a car, and I’m off the public transit route which severely limits my options for what I can do. That and I’m trying not to spend any money because I’m going to Sweden in a month.

That said, I’ll also use your own word to contradict what you said above.

Now who’s a hypocrite? Now I really want you to go out and live your life. Anything that gets you away from me.

Did you ever think that maybe the reason you’re so bitter is because nobody likes you? And that maybe the reason nobody likes you is because you’re so fucking bitter? It’s a vicious circle. And you’re the circle-jerk. Ya fuckin’ mook.

16

Nobody likes me? Hmm…in REAL LIFE, I’ve got friends, a girlfriend, and am editor of my college newspaper. That takes people skills. People like me. Matter of fact, all that sounds pretty damned successful.

Let’s see here, Jube says his stupid ass insulting comment, then you say, “Dude, lighten up. Stop your bitching. Rah rah, Jube. Flame him again.” I don’t take too kindly to that. I respond in a way that gives your big mouth some fucking pause, which, by the way, was extremely satisfying, and then YOU start whimpering about insults and how WRONG they are? Oh, sweet irony.

As Dennis Leary once said, “This is the Pit. Get a fucking helmet.”

17

[emphasis mine]

Who the fuck do you think you are? Did it ever occur to you, genius, that maybe the reason you got those answers is because we have been through all that? I got a newsflash for you, asshole: I have been through absolute HELL these past few years, I’m just now coming out of it, and the only thing that kept me sane was the fact that I didn’t take it seriously. You go through five years of emotional hell that masqueraded as a marriage, financial devastation to the point of near homelessness, and a (mis)diagnosis of cancer at the age of 25 (with all the joy that entails) and then come back to me with your condescending bullshit about how I’ve had it so easy. (And that’s the abridged version of my life.)

I did have sympathy for you, up until this. Now? Grow the fuck up.

[/quote]

Sure do.

Do you know what it means to C&P assinine remarks and throw them back at the OP in an attempt to make them see how stupid they appear to the rest of us?

My definition may not have fit as well, but I think you still have me beat on the stupidity level of the post.

My sympathy for you? Naw, you lost all rights to that the moment you started insulting the people on this board.

Run along and play now, junior. Come back when you can handle the backlash of your remarks.

19

Um…could someone rewrite that last sentence for me so that it makes some damned sense?

I didn’t insult ANYONE who didn’t do it to me first, Diane.

As for you Amulet, I didn’t say that ALL of the responses were flippant. I went back and looked. No reasonable human being would perceive what YOU said to be anything but levelheaded and respectful. I’m talking about the people who just brushed the issue aside with some inane comment topped off with a curse word or two. Frankly, you don’t have anything to do with this thread.

20

You sure did sound melodramatic, you existence-hating piece of whiny shit. That’s why I laughed at your sniveling ass. And I’m laughing my ass off at this thread, right now. Are you still “absolutely consumed with anger”? Is your soul consumed with the flaming desire to push me off this plane of existence? Does it burn hotter than a thousand suns? :slight_smile: Shithead.

You’re a lousy speller, too. Especially on “condescend.” And your breath smells bad, did I mention that?? And your mom dresses you funny. Are you filled with rage yet?

I dunno, we all hated the editor of our college newspaper. He just sulked in his office all day, talking to imaginary girlfriends and crying to anyone who would listen about open-heart surgeries. Nobody really cared.
