I don't think I said you were starting it, but maybe the problem is that the on-line you has a chip or two on its shoulder. Since you're suggesting that the on-line is different from the IRL you, maybe you could just take it in a different direction. Since my on-line personality is every bit as dull as the IRL me, I'm not sure how you do this, but I hear Penske just pretends that he's wearing only socks, and takes it from there.

to be fair, Thurgreed has intimidated most of us into scared-quiet

In his defense, hating you doesn't make him misogynistic. He is abusive and nasty, but my hating him wouldn't make me a racist.

True. Although Burger says you met his mother?

I thought you were taller than him on the internet.

oh yeah, I'd have thought you knew- his mom gets dates for your sister, so I see her every Tuesday.


we've been buying odd DVDs from this company that always throws in some add ons- right now a collection of all of Amy Sedaris' Letterman/Conan appearances. I really love Amy.

you are right. he is simply abusive and nasty and he so crosses the line. and NO ONE calls him on it.

Please. getting someone to disagree with him on the board about my attractiveness or lack thereof has been like pulling teeth.

You and he may be the only people with anything left to say on the subject, and I'm betting he's about tapped out.

Do you honestly think a single person on this board cares about your attractiveness, Thurgreed critique or any other poster's opinion of same?

A rolling stone gathers no moss, but it's really just water under the bridge.

Now you've added in line-crossing, so I have to disagree again. The only line that he has crossed is the tin-foil line around your head. He has clearly gotten inside your head and it is downright fucking amusing to watch you lash out at him and pretend that you're the only sane person in a room of crazies.

Let's reiterate what he did prior to all of the vitriol:

1. With your cooperation met you to assess your attractiveness.

2. Showed up some matter of minutes late and apologized for it (I don't know if you have conceded that he apologized, so we'll flag this one for now as potentially contested).

3. Made an offhand remark suggesting that you could whore yourself out to satisfy your tastes.

4. Mutually agreed to end your encounter.

5. Posted his subjective assessment of your attractiveness to a group of losers with no lives outside of work (sorry BnB for stereotyping) who use a lawyer-chat board as a way to amuse themself.

That was it. This was enough to trigger the "I'm pretty and you're a big meanie" response. From there, you are bombast central taking offense at everything someone says about you.

It's not like he tried to book your family as The Artistocrats or pawed at you or sent the partners you work for an email saying that you're a fucking delusional nutbag who spends too much time online.

You need to give it a rest and assess how much importance you're placing on the opinions of a bunch of dorks who are using you as a plaything to swat around between conference calls.


Note that I'm a complete tool and just edited this post to correct spelling.
