Congratulations. You have captured the essence of this particular doppelganger in one sentence. Though I would subsitute the word "most" for "overweight".

I think it takes considerable talent to be simultaneously disgusting, offensive, and amusing. Best if it's self-referential, though, so it's your own stuff you're taking risks with.

Maybe Joppa gal should go back and read some posts, in the archives.

I just pm'd her, not seeing what you guys had said.

Looks like Jops got used big time, either that, or ?

Well, for instance, Denis Leary offends just about everybody, but he saves his sharpest barbs for his own cultural base; i.e., suburban Irish Catholic white people. Nobody can make fun of a group like one of its members. Done skillfully, it may be rough, vulgar and very acerbic, but it is seldom mean-spirited or downright cruel. Even Leary's infamous "Asshole Song" is mostly parodying his own social group, his own cultural frame of reference.

Taking slashes at retarded people, women (particularly women over 30, who seem to get the nastiest of it; to wit the "mm" thread) and overweight people is not quite so amusing, particularly when done behind the cloak of a "secret identity". It creates a climate of mistrust and it's offensive.

You should stop while you still have a chance to redeem yourself.
Oh never mind, way too late.

seriously why do you guys think you know all?

what if this person is for real and you were all this mean -- seriously?? i find that really shameful. besides he adds a little color to this place so what if his posts are a little off the wall -- i didn't realize there were rules about how and who should post-- isn't that sort of elitist? Oh *cough* of course not.

DOUBLE STANDARDS.


ALSO i thought you all were too busy to worry yourselves with such thing.

it's ridiculous.
