<chanting> Kali-ma, Kali-ma, Kali-maaaaaaa
And while I’m thinking about it, would you care to make a donation to the Enlightened One? Just send it to me – I’ll be sure to pass it on.

Yeah, people here are real jerks, unlike the Whole Rest Of The Internet.

She’s probably too young to get most of the jokes, she seems pretty thin-skinned, and doesn’t appear to appreciate what passes for humor around here.

Yeah. Not the best fit, I’m afraid.

Go fuck yourself. I see no jerks or bullies on this message board.

The irony.

Intentional, of course. Or was your post “The irony,” irony?

As a fully qualified Canadian, I have reviewed the thread in question and found some evidence of joshing, but no jerkitude or bullying whatsoever. Glad to have cleared that up for you all, you may all now go about your business.

Seriously, if someone had said “Sorry about that” I would have asked “What?” instead of reflexively apologizing.

Ooooooooooh, so tempting.

Just kidding. Swear I didn’t know. Go kill yourself, sure. That’s obvious. Not a defense, but of course I didn’t mean it.

Im with ya, ellie. For a website that advertises itself as place for intellectual discourse, its full of obnoxious jerks. As for newbies, try and fight back----some of the well-connected regulars here will whine like bitches and report you to the Mods like snitches and try to get you banned. It can be a despicable place.

Has anybody noticed that not many newbies stick around?
I think before a person can get in here they should be told, “The SDMB is kind of like those Scottish boarding schools Prince Charles used to attend…”

You owe me a cup of coffee as I just snorted mine up my nose. Not only that, I require a certain kind of coffee which blends nicely with a wake-up call while perusing The Pit :smiley:

You can tell when we luv ya Ellie when your OP gets moved to the BBQ Pit lol.
:cool:

most people are awesome here…though very few also have a slight self-righteous side

OMG. I have not experienced Scottish Boarding Schools but have played basketball with Prince Charles. His bodyguards didn’t like me whooping his ass but he was a good sport.

Returning to BitchFest2015…We love you. Don’t mind our manners, we are actually very polite otherwise.

Except at the family table (The BBQ Pit).

:cool:

Yeah. you talkin’ about me right?
Or should we name names?
:cool:

Oh, Jesus Christ, this post is self referential, right? Everyone is self-righteous in a degree.

yes:p and you post way too often (500:eek: posts in 9 years)

ofcourse. no big deal.
(also internet is different from face-to-face conversation)

(Bolding mine.)

Then why did you forget Valentine’s Day?
