Everyone say hello to the jerk.... (that's me)

Some of y'all already know how famous (or infamous) I've inadvertently become in some communities.

It all started last summer over two simple posts.

The start of it all )

I remember all of these. Too lazy to read through the first two things but I *think* that even I was harping on you.

But what I've learned about that stupid community is that they love to be the word police. They want you to say everything perfectly and make absolutely clear what you're saying, and if you accidentally say something that could even slightly be twisted, someone will find it and will twist it.

I laughed my ass off at the Pizza Slut bit. I also laughed my ass off in another thread where some girl failed to read the entry properly, harassed the OP, then when called on it said 'I have a learning disability that prevents me from reading properly leave me alone!'

And I laughed my ass off at that too. These people are too much. I am an asshole, I draw the line at mocking people for something that's not their fault, but what the fuck these people are looking for their own faults and using them as excuses. STOP USING YOUR FAULTS AS EXCUSES. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS EXCUSE YOU.

It drives me bonkers when people take super offense to things. Calling someone fat or a slut has their places, I'm sure. But look, a fat person is fat, "don't call me fat, you asshole!" Then if I'm insulting you, what insult would you prefer? because you are fat, it's a descriptive word, it describes what you are. Taking offense to it is what puts the offense in it in the first place ( ... )

I do disagree with you slightly on the words that have inherently bigoted connotations; I think that if a person uses them it has an inherent hatred with it. There are some words that should be stricken from the social lexicon.

I'm fat. Fat has so many degrees but ultimately most people I know use it to refer to someone who has jiggly parts that ought not jiggle.

"Fat" is, as you said, merely a physical description just as "skinny" is but I've also seen the word police pounce on people for using "skinny" to describe someone.

I agree with your last line SO HARD.
