Yes it is. It should be frowned upon, if not be an outright banning offense. I don't care how cool it is to hate on tw, tolerance of that kind of crap is why I have shut off my give-a-shit-about-this-place valve.

It's just not as cute as you might think it is. And yes, I mean some of you with your cute little remarks, only made if it's in the popular realm.

Perhaps the politics forum should just be renamed? It could be dangerous to have a board without an outlet for poisonous but otherwise useless gas -like a chemical factory without a flare.

that's just emotional extremist talk. why are you so anti-american?

Pie · 03-03-2010, 10:10 AM

As far as I am concerned, the less I know about tw, the better.

Ignorance is bliss.

I'm curious about tw and what his story is. But I agree with Happy Monkey that trying to expose someone who wishes to remain anonymous is really a pretty shitty thing to do. There are many people on the Cellar who wish to remain anonymous to the search engines and to other specific people in their real lives. They may PM each other with their real names, friend each other on facebook, or even get together in real life, but they try to be anonymous to the world when they post here. It's something that should be respected.

To virtually every extent of your post, I agree, but . . .
How would you feel if he called your wife a "gonorrhea dripping whore"?

Shawnee123 · 03-03-2010, 10:54 AM

People with an ounce of character do not try to fuck up someone's life because they made them mad. It's petty and childish...and in some cases very very dangerous. Call him all the names you want, call him a cunt with his panties in a wad, call him anything...but I know how you'd feel if we outed your identity.

I, however, as hateful as you may think me, would not consider doing such a low-handed thing. These are the kinds of behaviors that show what you really stand for (not much) and what kind of person you really are (leaving that one alone.)

I wouldn't want such ugliness directed at me or my family, but at the same time, it's so preposterous as to be laughable. I wouldn't be hurt by such an over the top comment. I know my wife is not such a person, so some dude on the internet saying it really just shows what kind of person they are. It has no reflection on me. Or my wife. Also, anyone who says that is clearly trying to get a rise out of me, and I wouldn't fall for it.

Pie · 03-03-2010, 10:52 AM

I would laugh.

Oh noes! Someone's saying baaad things on teh Interwebz!

classicman · 03-03-2010, 11:03 AM

thanks Shaw - I appreciate that.

Shawnee123 · 03-03-2010, 11:16 AM

Think about it. When you first changed your username, you were repeatedly making sure no one associated classicman with (former user name). When Shel called you by your first name, you asked that he edit his post so no one could connect you to, well, you.

But it's OK to scream tw's name, because he called a buddy's wife a GDW? Whoever the buddy was, he seems less concerned by this than you. You bring it up over and over...are you still hurting over it, or is it some way to cast aspersions, that you cannot otherwise find, at tw?

lumberjim · 03-03-2010, 11:19 AM

classic, I like you on a personal level.

Your interaction with tw, however, makes YOU look bad.

quit picking on the retarded kid, dumbass.

classicman · 03-03-2010, 11:25 AM

no shaw, its obviously me making a bigger deal out of a piece of shit like tw than I should. I had him on ignore for a long time and tried again. FAIL.

I let it all get to me again, with tw, spexxie, redux...
Made a nice ass of myself lowering myself - oh well. Live and try to learn again.
My attempts at making my point only made me play their game. Got it.
I'm out.
