    You’re missing the point.

    They aren’t mad about using the letter. They are angry because the person using it is a huge asshole apparently, so they shit on them for using that letter because it is an easy target.

    The assholish behaviour has plenty to do with them if they encountered it.

      I’ve encountered that person plenty. Though not for a little while now that I think on it. However, I’ve never seen them be an asshole at all. Now admittedly maybe some of these animals have hounded them to the point where they get snippy in their comments I don’t know. Or it’s even possible they’ve run into some kind of CopyCat . All I know is I’ve seen entire communities and like dozens of memes targeting this one user because they use a letter that people that annoys people apparently. And it’s insane.

      So I very much question the integrity and honesty of the people that are telling you they’re an asshole. Cuz like I said he just said someone using a letter is like shitting on his porch. That’s a level of derangement I’m not comfortable with.

        To be fair, I don’t think they meant using the letter is like shitting on people’s porch, but rather being an asshole to people.

            How so? I don’t see how you’re getting that impression.

            He’s saying you can’t excuse being an asshole due to harassment, because the harassment started because he was an asshole.

            Nowhere did he say using a letter is being an asshole.

        Did you even read the comment that started this particular thread?

        Or are you OK with someone saying that men wish they’d get sexually harrassed?
