The internet is full of mental. Ever been threatened with violence? Did it spill over into real life? Tell us your story. Or maybe you wish to buck the trend and tell us about the how you've met lots of quite nice, sane people.

After posting witless personal abuse, you then have to claim that it's just a joke and the other poster just doesn't get what b3ta is about.

Do you imagine it makes other people that angry when your husband taunts them incessantly about their private lives? Or is it just a joke on a comedy forum when he does it?

Calling me fat is the obvious insult. Except it's not, not really. Fat is just a descriptive word. It's not an insult. Quantifying it with something insulting, now THAT would require effort and a brain.
Fat is such a boring word. It lacks...poetry. You could have called me beefy, big, blimp, bovine, brawny, broad, bulging, bulky, bull, burly, butterball, chunky, corpulent, distended, dumpy, elephantine, fleshy, gargantuan, gross, heavy, heavyset, hefty, husky, inflated, jelly-belly, lard, large, meaty, obese, oversize, paunchy, plump, plumpish, ponderous, porcine, portly, potbellied, pudgy, roly-poly, rotund, solid, stout, swollen, thickset, weighty, whale-like...all of those words pretty much describe me to a tee.
You could have also picked up on my vanity, my tendency to meddle, the fact that I always have to be right, my arrogance, my selfishness, my stubbornness...but you didn't. You took the lazy option - and you thought that describing my body accurately would somehow upset me.
It didn't. I like pies and I enjoy my gin. No fucks are given. What did irritate was your inability to acknowledge me as a person in my own right and use my name. You reduced me to a gender in my own fucking thread. Its pretty plain that you have some issues when it comes to people who own a vagina, and that is why I maintain you are a misogynistic prick with mummy issues.
Or to put it another way....when you post in response to me (as you invariably will, you cannot cope with a woman having the last word), the rest of the internet sees this: -

WW - You're a good looking gal (I've seen a couple of pics of you and AB in the b3tabashes flickr page).
Looking at your responses to emv about misogyny and the "collateral" I have to ask - how do you feel about your husband constantly hounding me because I'm supposedly a philanderer? (him and a few others put 2+2 together and got 5, trust me. My missus is well aware of all of my online activities - her laptop is about 1m. behind my left shoulder atm).
AB (and a few others) have latched onto nearly every post I make and quite frequently are as prejudiced in their comments about me as some have been towards you in this thread.
Just interested.
EDIT: It needs to be said that I've given as good as I've got from AB (regardless of his views about that) but I've certainly never chosen to harass him based on your body type in the same way that he has about how I am built.

this is all very serious, isn't it? Couple this with WW's aforementioned rant about misogyny and pies, and the whole site will probably collapse under the weight of it all.

It's not my job to tell him what to do or how to behave. If he started to insult (though fat really isn't an insult in my opinion) your wife's (or anyone else not directly involved) appearance in order to score points then I'd probably have a quiet word, but other than that he is a big boy who can make his own decisions.
Sorry for the late reply, I've been in band practice -we have a gig on Friday.

I wanted to know how you felt about AB making the same types of comments about me (there's 1 just above here if you scroll up) that others have made about you in this thread. I wasn't asking you to to police or censor him & wouldn't expect that.
I don't think AB's ever even mentioned my missus (other than to wrongfully suggest that I have been unfaithful to her) but others certainly have passed comment on how they imagine she looks.
Anyhoo, thanks for the reply. Have a good jam on Fri.

or you would know that 'she' is the cat's mother. If you are talking about someone, it is polite to use their name. Simple, basic manners.

Well, yes, it was generally considered polite to refer to a woman by name, rather than as "she", if said woman happened to be physically present. Perhaps it still is. Whether or not Wicca'd Witch (presumably a nom de plume, in any case) can be regarded as 'physically present' on a messageboard may be open to some debate.
Nevertheless, to extrapolate from the casual (and possibly mildly impolite) usage of "she" that a man is a "misogynistic prick with mummy issues" who has deliberately and maliciously "reduced [Wicca'd Witch] to a gender" is perhaps overstating the case a little bit. In fact, Happy Phantom would go so far as to assert that it's the kind of grandiose tubthumping uberfeminism that would have had Andrea Dworkin donning a false beard and a strap-on out of contact embarrassment.

Maybe he isn't a misogynist. Maybe he doesn't have mummy issues...but he's definitely a prick.
(And no, Andrea Dworkin would probably have come down firmly on my side for that, I'm afraid - especially given EMV's previous comments. If you think otherwise, then you know very very little about Andrea Dworkin)

Having just spent three years working at an almost-entirely female-staffed medical charity, providing better maternity clinics in the developing world and campaigning against FGM, I was quite enjoying your homespun third-person pronoun feminist rant. By all means, call me a misogynist if it makes you feel better to imagine that I have "issues when it comes to people who own a vagina" based on my sentence construction.
