> Ah. That explains the disconnect. Most people consider cruelty something to be ashamed of. If you were going to get such posts, those posts also would have gotten outraged reactions that would have belonged in the Pit.

This is the same poster who less than 4 months ago announced he was going to stiff his “German speaking” landlady out of over $1000 in due rent, afterwhich he then accepted cash donations from a few very kindhearted, generous Dopers who felt badly for someone in such obviously dire straits.

Less than two months after that, he then started a thread asking for advice on a good restaurant in Seattle where he could treat a visiting friend to a gourmet splurge (though in his defense, he specified not more than $200 a plate, as he didnt want to go overboard)

Disconnect indeed…
