Go get yourself some sleep. I’m beginning to think your username is only half right. You’re spouting a lot of nonsense, but it’s far from being lucid. Then, why did it go on for over an hour? If it was so heinous that it needed to be closed? Besides he still could’ve edited the post himself. Or allowed me to start another thread. But I was specifically forbidden to post about this except in the Pit, where people can call me crazy, what a coincidence, huh? Don’t play coy about Bricker and Clothahump. I told you I’ve been lurking for years. They’ll be really delighted at your liberal hypocrisy. ---

Your over reactions and misinterpretation to your treatment here at the dope fits with the theory that you over reacted and misinterpreted the bus incident. ---

I told you I’ve been lurking for years. They’ll be really delighted at your liberal hypocrisy. You’re the playing coy about **Bricker** and **Clothahump**. You’ve mentioned their names at least three times. Do you think you’ll summon them by calling them three times? And what does my politics have to do with this thread? What makes you think I’m a liberal? Do you know what happens when you assume? ASS/U/ME You make an ass of U and me. ---

> [@lucid-nonsense](#): > > Quit faffing about and answer the questions! Do you think I was given a fair listen? If so, why can I only post in the pit? Your problem is you’re coming across like a raving lunatic. Most people let the small shit slide, you rant to anyone who will listen. It might be you causing the problems. That said, pretty good troll you got going here. ---

I mean, either I don’t have mental illness, in which case you’ve treated me shabbily, or I have mental illness, and you’ve treated me REALLY shabbily. This is flawless logic and you know it. Reread all the threads and admit it. ---

My thread out of the pit was open for less than two hours. I did not get a fair chance to defend myself. You cannot deny this. I actually complained in the ABTM thread that I lost a long post because of it. ---

> [@lucid-nonsense](#): > > Answer both questions! Why can I only post about this in the Pit? This is not a fair listen! This is not the way you treat people who come with any other kind of story. Because when you posted in the other forums, it seems you only wanted to rant. At least, that’s how you’re coming off. Look, in real life, you may be calm and cool as a cucumber, but here, you sound like you’ve got spittle all over your keyboard. If pretty much everyone in the thread is telling you the same thing, maybe you should listen? Just sayin. Just because you had a shitty day doesn’t mean you have to take it out on everyone here, simply because they disagree. I had a shitty day too. ---

Quit dancing around this. You know I’ve got you on this. Do you think I was given a fair listen? If so, why can I only post in the pit? Why was my thread closed without warning after only an hour and a half? ANSWER ME! ---

> [@lucid-nonsense](#): > > Answer both questions! Why can I only post about this in the Pit? This is not a fair listen! This is not the way you treat people who come with any other kind of story. Listen up. You’re not posting, you’re ranting. You were _not_ told to only post in the pit, you were told rants go in the pit. Get it; rants = pit. Pit = rants. Simple math. ---

People say I never answered their questions! I LOST the answers to these questions when the first thread was closed without warning! Then I made the ATMB thread which was also closed very quickly. My third thread was closed almost instantly. I only got to post in the Pit where I met OPEN HOSTILITY. Hang your heads in fucking shame. ---

I’m not convinced you’re actually seeking advice. **But if that is really your intent, I’d recommend you step away from the keyboard for a bit, and perhaps try to re-frame your question at another time.** If you just want to rant about the company (or the province or racism as a whole), try The Pit. (Bolding mine) Sounds fair to me. The bolded part that is. He told you to chill out and try again later. Which is basically what those of us who are telling you to sleep on it are saying. ---
