> [@Mbossa](#): > > What would that prove? That she’s been to Cameroon and believes her experience there is relevant to some discussions? The United States is mentioned a hell of a lot on this board, so why aren’t we complaining about that? Agreed. I think a lot of people are reaching for things to bitch about ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > I don’t understand why people dislike the mentions of Cameroon and China. As **Mbossa** mentions, the U.S. is brought up a lot, too. So are video games and computer programming and threads on Big Bang Theory. I mean, there are always going to be posters who rub us the wrong way but who aren’t necessarily jerks. If they aren’t bothering you, why be mean to them? Agree. I grew up in Australia, and before coming to the US i’d also lived in Canada and England. If i think something about my experience in those countries is relevant to a discussion, i’ll bring it up. And i’ve done that dozens, probably hundreds of times on these boards. ---

Life isn’t like MTV or The OC or whatever stupid show you watch in between jacking off to 4chan, and I hope you realize that soon, because life is gonna go _real_ hard for you if you don’t.

More lessons on the internet. If two internet people are having a kerfuffle, you can only make snarky comments about one of them. If you do to both, you’re a jerk. Folks, if you wanna know more, you can just buy my books. ---

Not at all. However, when someone gives you a compliment and you return with an insult, don’t be shocked when they think you’re a jerk. Man, now I remember why I quit posting in the Pit. People tend to be real assholes over here, just because they can. ---

I think **lez** needs a hug. Hey, lez, I know your user name has nothing to do with your sexual orientation, but I give really good hugs. I have references. Maybe it’ll make you feel better about being in the Pit, where people are douchey because they can be, rather than, say, IMHO, where people are douchey to those who offer advice that disagrees with the validation obviously being sought. ---

Wow **MeanOldLady** , you got a hard on for me or somethin’? You gonna follow me around now from thread to thread, making snarky little comments because you’re still pissed off that I dare not like one of your BFFs and told her as much in an inappropriate thread, which I’ve already conceded? That horse is now dead and bleeding all over the pavement. Time to let it go. ---

I don’t even know who you are, and I have no idea who you think my bff is. **sven** or **turnip** , or um, some other guy…? I was just pointing out how butthurt you got that turnip swiped at you, and pointing to the continued hilarity of you claiming not to like the Pit because people take swipes here, even though you took repeated swipes in a non-pit forum. But if you’d like me to start following you around, I can do that. Edit: Oh, you think \*\*sven \*\*is my BFF. Um, she’s cool I guess, but that’s not why I was laughing at you. ---

I was actually hoping **even sven** might be amused by my post about her as well, but now I’m not so confident. There is a tiny bit of heart hidden deep within the snark. If you listen you can just hear it… it makes a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton (but I digress). I think she’s contributed a lot of interesting posts and I admire the courage it takes to uproot completely and immerse in a foreign culture (more than once). So yeah, I tease, but she seems like good people. (God, I hate that phrase: “good people.” Why the hell did I just use it? And why didn’t I just delete it? It’s not like this is a freakin’ typewriter. I haven’t even hit \*\*Submit Reply \*\* yet. No sense. None.) ---
