Sarcasm and Irony – this moron doesn’t have a clue…

I can understand why a Son Of (a) B*** would call itself Horrible (Horribilis), but not why a “Silly Old Bear” would call itself Horrible, or why anyone having to do with human rights would do so.

I can understand why this guy doesn’t get it. He takes himself far too serious. He would never use people’s epithets of him against them. He can’t see the irony in turning something bad into something funny.

SoB stands for a nickname I started using a while back – Silly Old Bear – (picked from Winnie the Pooh), but the initials SoB can also mean son of a bitch, and I started using that nickname exactly because of that – the double meaning, the word-play. Just as I have in the past used particularly nasty names people have called me as screen names – there have been quite a few “Lord ShadowButt”, “Shallowbear”, “Bogeybear” they all came out of extremely nasty flame wars on Care2, and in true European and Danish Tradition I turned their attempts to shame me into a badge of honor.

But this guy, if it indeed is a guy, some, me included are pretty certain that it’s in fact a woman, who over the years have been part of turning Care2 into a hell-hole of abuse.
