Punha - I just have to spot you a point for spelling Canadiens right… and yes… I can get along with Leaf’s fans (with the help of medication). Ginger - If you want him as much as you want Day as Prime Minister would that be a lot or a little? Slip - I’m peeved that anyone would go and spoil your appreciation thread, [sub]even if you are one of those Godless Leaf’s fans.[/sub] ---

Oh yes, good old **Bossk**. I was thinking of doing this myself, but I’ve been beaten to it. In Cafe Society, he’s posted such gems: [Harrison Ford has become a walking manniquen](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=94684) [Friggin Kevin Costner](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93314) The aforementioned [Actresses who age BADLY](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=97005) [Worst movie trailer you’ve ever seen](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=96725) And the also already mentioned **Who are the skankiest mainstream actresses alive?** and **What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve seen in a mainstream non-porn movie?** These may not be jerk-like, but these are _all_ the threads started by our Boy Wonder that turned up on a search over the past 60 days and _all_ carry a negative feel to them. Just a little something to see where he’s coming from. Now for his Pit rants: Here’s where I first ran into him, pulling the same hit and run tactics I saw later: [Oh, so BATMAN AND ROBIN sucked? Gee, how nice you finally noticed.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=94021)The OP came back for two personal attacks and that’s it. Here, **Bossk** is angered at given Light Beer in [Michelob Golden Draft, period. Got that, fuckwad?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93802). In 37 replies, none of them are his, just the OP. When Bossk wanted to [sell his underwear](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=93926), he posted the OP and never returned. Although, to be fair there were only 5 replies total, but why the hell was this in the Pit to begin with? Another [short-lived thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=95271), this one with only 6 replies, about a child molesting film director. Again though, the OP is posted, the OPer doesn’t return. When **Bossk** invites us to [get a load of THIS asshole](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=95242), he returns to the thread once. Why? It doesn’t have anything to do with the OP of course. **Miller** had posted something questioning the point of the OP, so **Bossk** returns - not to answer the questions asked by **Miller** - but to post a half-assed personal attack of sorts. (Now where have we seen this before?) This one’s questionable - [The Three Stooges](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=95726). It’s been closed with no replies so it may have been a reply to a different thread that was accidentally started as its own thread. But, if this was intended to be a thread on its own, why couldn’t it have been put in IMHO or Cafe Society without the “fuck you” at the end? The **obnoxious teen at BK** and **When Ugly Girls Rewad** threads has been linked to already. I’d just like people to read what he does there again. After the OP, he strays from the OP to play with personal attacks. I see nothing to show anything other than what we have here is a hit and run poster who seems as if he’s hanging around the Pit just to pick fights. ---

He’s got an inferiority complex, is all. I picture him as being this spoiled ten-year-old kid, pounding on the dinner table, screaming at the top of his lungs, “I want ice cream, I want ice cream!” And when someone says “No, you can’t have ice cream,” he begins wailing “I hate you I hate you I hate you!” and then throws a temper tantrum on the floor. Personally, I think he just harbors a lot of negativity against the world. It’s sad, really. But he resists any efforts to help him. I’ve tried to give the guy a hand up, many times, and he just smacks it away, snarling. Anyone who’s read the _Bounty Hunter Wars_ will know that his handle is extremely appropriate. ---

Oh I’ve waited for this day… Not so I can rip **Bossk** to shreds, but so I can tell the rest of you just what I think in one perfect thread for all to see. Gee **Ginger** , maybe the reason he’s flamed you is because you’re so self-absorbed. Miss “I know I’m good looking cuz everyone tells me so, and if you don’t believe me look at my picture on my website/home page”. You make Hollywood residents look modest my dear. You might want to take it down a notch. We can freeze CanadiEn ice on your ass. **Esprix** , you seem to have an abrasive effect on more posters than just old **“Bossky-boy”**. And just for the record, I too think your picture on your website is “ridiculously tacky”. **Slip Mahoney** , if you don’t want to “talk to the shmuck” to tell him yourself that you think he doesn’t have what it takes to be whatever it is that YOU think he’s trying to be, then why not do us all a favor and just shut the hell up? Aside from the fact that you know he’ll read this thread and therefore you’ve basically told him anyway. You people think you’re so damn clever, but you’re just stupid and transparent. **Crunchy Frog** , first of all, why would you do a search of his posts for the last 60 days, when he clearly has only been a registered member since October, which if you do a little simple math (or maybe it’s not so simple for you) you’ll realize that he could only have posts that go back 30-38 days or so (depending on the day he actually registered ~ which if you’re taking the time to look at all his posts, I would think you looked close enough at his profile to see the exact date he signed up)? Secondly, I want you to show me where in the SDMB “handbook” it says that you have to go back and monitor the threads you start. Is there some rule that says you must go back and see if someone responded to you? Is there also a rule that says that you have to answer each and every reply? For those of us whose lives to not exist solely on these boards, we may not get back to it, not only that, we may actually just not give a flying fuck. So **Mr. Bossk** is crass. So he’s opinionated and says whatever he’s thinking. If you dislike it so much, don’t read the threads he starts. How hard is that? Unless you’ve got a different set up than me, the thread listing in every forum states who started the thread (yes, for the slower ones in the group, that was extreme sarcasm). If you choose not to read his threads, that should cut down on your problem ten fold. Didn’t your parents teach you about the bully in school? You know, the whole “ignore him and he’ll go away because he’s just trying to get a rise out of you”. You guys just don’t get that. Well, you probably do on a subconscious level… But you know why you don’t heed the advice? Because you need people like **Bossk**. You need them so that you can get self-righteous, indignant and down right mad at him, thereby making yourselves feel better. I’ll tell you one thing flat out. I’d prefer someone who’s crass, yet clever (yes, admit it, most of his “digs” are damn quick witted) to the cliqueish bullshit that comes out of most of the rest of you. I read this thread to see just which posters would jump on the bandwagon with **Twist**. I had an idea of who it would be. You didn’t disappoint me. You all are the ones acting like babies, not **Bossk**. “Oh Moderator, he’s picking on me and calling me names! Make him stop, pretty please.” Grow up and learn to just avoid his posts. If I flamed on you guys every time you make me want to puke, this whole place would be lit up like the fires of hell. As **Bossk** himself so adroitly put it, “Cindy, no one likes a tattle-tale”. And everyone “claiming” that they were just about to start a “bash **Bossk** ” thread, but **Twist** beat them to it? WHAT-THE-FUCK-EVER! You guys are so full of shit. You’re just a bunch of copy-cat dumbasses who can’t think for themselves. And **Ginger**? About your “I’m not a sucker for punishment” comment… nah, not a sucker for punishment, just a plain sucker. Have a nice day… 🙂 ---

That’s one incredibly run-on sentence. To answer this entirely pointless question, I see under his user name he’s been here since Oct. Now I can do a search for the past 60 days, which would cover any overlap (see cuz a search for 30 days would not cover days if he had registered early in the month) or I could waste a step by looking at his profile, get the exact date and do a search for 30 days. My way saved time and I still got the info I wanted. See, not that hard to figure out. > [@](#): > > **Secondly, I want you to show me where in the SDMB “handbook” it says that you have to go back and monitor the threads you start.** Hit and run thread starters are usually the work of trolls.

It seems to me in a number of **Bossk’s** Pit threads that’s what he’s been trying to do. That’s called trolling. That equates to being a jerk. > [@](#): > > **You need them so that you can get self-righteous, indignant and down right mad at him, thereby making yourselves feel better.** As opposed to your post here, where you’re not being self-righteous or passing jusdgment or putting down other people to feel superior or anything like that. > [@](#): > > **I’ll tell you one thing flat out. I’d prefer someone who’s crass, yet clever (yes, admit it, most of his “digs” are damn quick witted) to the cliqueish bullshit that comes out of most of the rest of you.** Holy fuck, more clique bullshit! Go re-read **Bossk’s**"clever" retorts to **SPOOFE** or myself in that Batman thread or the When Ugly Girls Read thread. It is not quick-witted nor clever outside of a grade school playground. > [@](#): > > \*\*You all are the ones acting like babies, not **Bossk**. “Oh Moderator, he’s picking on me and calling me names!

He was pissed cuz I called him out doing the same bullshit hit and run tactics as was seen earlier, then picking fights with posters instead of sticking to the subject of the OP. He was acting like a troll and I called him on it. ---

But no I’m not going to go and find you a bunch of links to his posts (aside from the fact that I think most of them have already been posted in this thread). I personally find many of his flames on “the clique” to be quite humorous. Although I do admit that some of them do require some knowledge of the things he’s referring to. It’s not his fault that the people he aims them at don’t get it. \ Many people don’t understand or appreciate the dry British humor of Monty Python and Benny Hill either, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t funny (at least to some people). ---

**Devil May Care** - So you’ve been waiting for this day just so you could blow your wad? I’m with Crunchy… why didn’t you throw your own party instead of crashing this one? You could have sent out a group invitation to the people you addressed here and I’m sure they all would have shown up. That would make for a really entertaining party. And BossK is nowhere to be seen, I find it rude that to have had someone throw a party in his dishonour, invite people, and have him not show up to entertain us with his clever and quick witted commentary. Actually, he’s neither clever or quick witted but he has offended a large number of people on the board. Many of his “quick witted” comments were entirely uncalled for and he’s now reaping the whirlwind. I have to say that when I saw this thread I was not at all surprised having just read through some of BossK’s recent posts. ---

Where in the seven levels of hell did you come from, **Devil May Care**? I’ve never seen you before, and yet here you are, full of piss and bile, yet for the life of me I can’t understand why. This thread did not concern you, yet your first post was simply to attack other posters. You added nothing to the discussion, yet here you are. Let’s look at it, shall we? You attacked **Esprix** and **Crunchy Frog**. No problem there. It was without basis, but both of them are grown up men, more than capable of dealing with a child like you. **Slip Mahoney** was also included. I am not real familiar with him, but I get the feeling that he can handle himself. Please note that there has been no reason to attack these posters, but you go right ahead. What puzzeled me was your attack on **GingerOfTheNorth**. **Ginger** posted an obviously humorous comment, with no reference to the OP, took a return jibe, and joked back. No big deal. It didn’t even have relevance to the thread, and yet you included her in your attacks. **Ginger** responded rather well, she certainly dosen’t need me to “fight her battles for her”, but there is just one thing. **Ginger** is a very nice, very sweet person. **I am not** DMC, I am trying to understand you. I think I finally have it. The clue was in this line: > [@](#): > > You need them so that you can get self-righteous, indignant and down right mad at him, thereby making yourselves feel better. That’s it in a nutshell, isn’t it? You’re projecting your insecurities on the rest of us! My God! It’s so simple! People like **Ginger** , **Esprix** , like me, like, oh say, **Geobabe** and a host of others, people who know they are pretty Goddamn special and don’t have to prove it to anyone, we drive you nuts, don’t we? You live your life convinced that you are worthless ( news flash, you’re right ), and you hate those of us who don’t buy into your self destructive delusions. It’s so sad, actually. I pity you. I hope that the next time you are hiding in the bushes next to the local elementary school, looking for that vulernable 5 year old boy you can lure away to fuck in the ass, just so you can use your sexual abilities, that you remember this: You may feel good abusing that child for the moment, but you are still a pathetic example of a “human”. You would be better off just eating a gun. None of us would miss you, and many of us would rejoyce. Throw us a bone, why doncha, and eat that gun. ---

Hi. I have been lurking around here for a few months, and I feel that I understand some of your personalities. Personally I like BossK. I find his comments witty, and sacrcastic. Granted, the “Dropping the Cosby kids off at the pool” statement may have been construed as racist, but if he had changed “Cosby” to “Brady”, wouldn’t we have all wondered what the hell he had been eating? If it ticks some of you off…Get over it. Someone needs to put a few (NOT all) of you in your place. **Devil May Care** covered this well I think. Great, my first post and I am gonna get flaaaaaaaaaamed…Geez ---

I won’t even waste time with a flame. :rolleyes: ---

I, too, would like to see evidence of this “clique”. I see the word thrown about so often, yet by a tiny, tiny, TINY number of people. If we were so “clique-ish”, then you’d think that, with the almost-19,000 people here, there’d be more than a dozen people who’ve noticed it. Know what I think the “clique” really is? People who don’t like assholes. Period. And then an asshole - such as Bossk - comes along, can’t comprehend that he’s an asshole (hey, we’ve already established that he’s got the intelligence of dried platypus poop), and instead of trying to suck up and _learn how to NOT be an asshole_, he needs to salve his wounded ego and say, “THEY’RE the problem, not ME!” And then we get a couple of people who defend the guy. Hey, it’s bound to happen. But what a defense! Vague allusions, no cites, support for the sake of support, “different for the sake of difference”. Let’s see some SPECIFICS, Devil May Care and Howgoesit. Others in this thread have been kind enough to be VERY specific reasons why Bossk is severely lacking in the “non-asshole” department… if you wish to defend the guy, please, present your counter-critique in kind. Because I guarantee you, every time people have tried to give Bossk an inch, he’s tried to take a yard. He’s been given the benefit of the doubt, and yet he keeps proving himself to be unwilling to participate in worthwhile discussion, instead choosing to resort to juvenile attacks on those who have done nothing to warrant such an attack [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-asked-for-it-bossk/91991.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-asked-for-it-bossk/91991.md?page=3)
