Pitting the Pit

[Carnick]

To preface this, I must say that I love the Pit. It’s a strange beast – a sort of small remote island filled with piss and vulgar thoughts in an otherwise enlightened, polite forum. It’s a fascinating spectacle to both observe and participate in. So I implore you, please take the following in good humor. I mean no true disrespect.

First off, I pit the fuckwits who enjoy being angry. These miserable sacks wake up every morning and scour the internet for a twisted, fucked up news story that they can then share with us. Raped babies, burnt puppies, burnt babies, raped puppies, the sicker the better. They post this crap on the Pit every day so that likeminded miserable sacks who are “normally against the death penalty” can file in and describe in great detail creative methods for physically punishing criminals. These self-proclaimed atheists will then follow it up with a frowney face and ask God why bad things are allowed to happen. Take your miserable shit and your miserable self and go be miserable alone.

Similarly, I pit the aging smelly hippies who can’t go one day without pitting our stupid president. These faded liberal gasbags love filling the Pit with Bush / republican / Fox News rants so that they can do the one thing they’re passionate for: protesting. Apparently these pot addled dolts never graduated past their teenage angry phase so they’re forced to fill their day with raging against the machine. Except they don’t protest in places that matter, no, they do it on the Dope where 99% of the user base already agrees with them. They just love a collective circle jerk where they can all pat themselves on the back for being enlightened enough to be fed up with an obviously shitfucked administration that only has a 33% approval rating. Do you think that 33% hangs around the Dope? I would love to go one day without seeing a Bush rant in the Pit, but I know it won’t happen.

Next, I pit these soft-skinned whiners who complain about other assholes. Aww, your “cow-orker” was mean to you? Guess what, the whole world is filled with assholes. I’m an asshole. You’re probably an asshole. Wake up, buck up, and get used to living on the planet Earth. If someone was mean to you, stand up for yourself for God’s sake. Writing an anonymous open letter in the Pit does nothing except make you look like a whiney douche.

Finally, I pit the people who pit themselves. Get yourself a Myspace account and get the hell out of my Pit. Take your meds, take a shower, and shave that nasty soul patch off and maybe you won’t be repeatedly rejected by society.

Thanks for listening. I love you all.

I believe it was our dear departed Excalibre who came up with the apt moniker "recreational outrage."

I can't see through my tears to type about the rest of the hackneyed bunch. :weeps:

Amen. It's not just that, it's the empty self-righteousness that does it for me.

Similarly, I pit the aging smelly hippies who can’t go one day without pitting our stupid president.

Better than burnt babies and raped puppies. Sometimes the really petty shit grates, I'll give you that. But the smirk, oh god the smirk!

Next, I pit these soft-skinned whiners who complain about other assholes. Aww, your “cow-orker” was mean to you? Guess what, the whole world is filled with assholes. I’m an asshole.

Hellooo... Whining about whiners? So what if people want to vent. This gets a big meh from me.


Finally, I pit the people who pit themselves. Get yourself a Myspace account and get the hell out of my Pit. Take your meds, take a shower, and shave that nasty soul patch off and maybe you won’t be repeatedly rejected by society.

It's too cutesy for the pit and I can't stand pity parties but I'll live.

Thanks for listening. I love you all.

Ah, go screw yourself.

[Carnick]

Ah, go screw yourself.
:D

[Oakminster]

Weak. No real venom there. Mild sarcasm, with an attempt at humor. You did, however, use at least one "fuckwit", which is duly noted. 4/10.

I hate you.

[Q.E.D.]

Looks like there's one Pitizen you forgot to Pit: the numbskull who takes it upon himself to rate a Pit rant without providing any useful contribution. Chaps my cheese, I tells ya.

I believe Carnick forgot to rant about the miserable ass-tards that just chime in to rate pit threads.

[Starving Artist]

Aw, Carnick...that was so sweet...thank you.

We love you, too, man!

P.S.: You really shouldn't use words like 'dolt'. Powerless, frustrated (and subsequently angry) people like Mindless Fury pick up on them and use them to start pit threads and call us all names. ;)

I don't have to try, Bubba!

You know what pisses me off? People who pit the Pit. Seriously, do you think you're original or something? You think it's never been done before?

I cordially invite all you Pit-pitters to go get fucked.

I think I smell a couple of nonny trolls around here.

If I was getting fucked, I wouldn't be posting here right now.

Oh snap.

Um...hmmm...maybe that didn't come out right...

[dnooman]

Anyone that posts anything in a Pit thread is a total douche nozzle. There's just no way around it.

[Jimmy Chitwood]

The signals may be getting mixed somewhat here with all the wink-wink pretending to be angry at each other, but I feel like this is the appropriate place to say this, so I just want to be very clear that even if the previous posters were, I'm not kidding:

This rating Pit posts and always -- always -- mentioning whether or not the by-now-long-overkilled word "fuckwit" was involved is really stupid. Doing it once is kind of annoying. If you do it so much that you get noticed for it by a lazy half-assed poster like me, who can barely be arsed to read screen names, much less remember the quirks associated therewith, well, you're a fucking tit.

Seriously.

Lame. But it does include a mention of "fuckwit". 1/10.

[Jimmy Chitwood]

I must say, I've never seen any of your posts before, but that was pretty dumb. Are they all like this?

[BrainGlutton]

Similarly, I pit the aging smelly hippies who can’t go one day without pitting our stupid president.

We're not all aging smelly hippies, Carnick. (Some of us were born too late to have a chance at that august distinction.) :)

[Oakminster]

I must say, I've never seen any of your posts before, but that was pretty dumb. Are they all like this?

Judge for yourself. It ain't like I'm shy about posting around here. I argue politics or the best way to kill a zombie depending on my mood. If you look, you may find something you like. Or a reason to pit me. Same price, either way.

[Patty O'Furniture]

Wait, Ex-cala-brie is gone? How did I misd that going away party??

Cut off his head, gouge out his eyes, fill his mouth with salt and sew it shut.

As for the zombies, I haven't a clue.

In fact, RedFury's thread was started 50 minutes earlier than this one, further demonstrating your penchant for inaccuracy.

[Equipoise]

Oh snap.

I pit people who say "Oh snap." I have no idea where it comes from but like "meh" (which I do know) it looks really really fucking stupid.

(Nothing personal, but damn)

On the other hand, very personal to whom it pertains:

I pit asstards who seem to think that PBush and his cronies should be able to do whatever the fuck they want with no one calling them on it. Goodness knows they're not going to be called on their crap in the mainstream media. I don't watch TV or read newspapers, so often, I learn about what asswipe is up to by reading the Pit to see what dickheaded thing the fucktard did today.

[Oakminster]

At least there's no squealing like a pig.

I really hate that.

Ah, lighten up. It's not like there's any real argument going on here. Oakie's okay.

[Carol Stream]

I pit people who get their news, in regards to any President, from what their fellow travellers rant about in the SDMB BBQ Pit.

[Pedro]

Heh. Of all my annoying quirks you had to pick on "meh"? I feel so cheated! How do you feel about "heh" by the way? It expresses faint, almost evanescent amusement, unlike "feh", which expresses dull disdain.

[Starving Artist]

In fact, RedFury's thread was started 50 minutes earlier than this one...All that proves is that he's psychic as well as psychotic.

Assuming that I'm understanding what you're trying to say, I'm not sure just how posting a pit thread is "calling them on it". On the SDMB, you're pretty much preaching to the choir (and preaching shrilly, at that). The excess of such threads is, IMHO, pretty annoying.

Anyway, great rant. People who get angry about random news stories and talk about how to punish the perpetrator should get tortured slowly to death in creative ways.

The above paragraph is humour. Please don't kill me.

Well, it's not like a thread titled "Shut up, yhou stupid fucking chimp!" is going to change the minds of any Bush fans anyway...

[Cat Whisperer]

Actually, thinking about it, douche nozzle isn't much of an insult, you know. It's just a piece of plastic, I believe. What else you got?

[Quiddity Glomfuster]

Indeed.

I pit people who get their news, in regards to any President, from what their fellow travellers rant about in the SDMB BBQ Pit.

The problem with watching the actual news about Shrub is that you run the risk of haivng to look at that simian smirk. Which, at this point, makes me want to hurl things at the television.

In order to not incur the expense of replacing my TV, I get news of Geo-Boy peripherally in places like this.

Heh. Of all my annoying quirks you had to pick on "meh"? I feel so cheated! How do you feel about "heh" by the way? It expresses faint, almost evanescent amusement, unlike "feh", which expresses dull disdain.

You forgot 'fah', which is annoyed dismissal. :D

yeah, whatever...

You are trying to be "witty" and think no one else has done this before.

Yes.

[Equipoise]

I pit people who get their news, in regards to any President, from what their fellow travellers rant about in the SDMB BBQ Pit.Not that I give a shit what a brain-damaged right-winger has to say, but I get all my news online. Sometimes though, I'll see a story here in the Pit before seeing it elsewhere, and then I'll read the links and if it's worthwhile, I'll look for more to get a better overview.

In any case, the liberals on this board are almost universally far more intelligent and informed than any stick-their-head-in-the-sand and quack conservative. You people are proud of your ignorance.

[Liberal]

Heh. Of all my annoying quirks you had to pick on "meh"? I feel so cheated! How do you feel about "heh" by the way? It expresses faint, almost evanescent amusement, unlike "feh", which expresses dull disdain.You've been a guest since September, 2000? How did that happen?

[Equipoise]

On the SDMB, you're pretty much preaching to the choir (and preaching shrilly, at that). The excess of such threads is, IMHO, pretty annoying. Perhaps "calling them on it" was the wrong terminology. Posting a pit thread is, at the very least, informing people that something happened. The idiot in the White House gives people so much to talk about that no wonder there's a pit thread about him nearly every day. History, in some form or another, will know that some people paid attention.

As far as being shrill, if it were a Democratic president doing all this shit, the shrillness from the right would be head-splittingly deafening. Look at how much fuss they made over a freaking blowjob.

If you're annoyed by Bush-bashing, don't read the Pit.


Pedro, I got over my scorn of "meh" once I found out it was from the Simpsons, though I still think it looks terribly silly. If "Oh Snap" came from the Simpsons, I'll give it a grudging pass too, but no one's ever told me where it came from.

"Heh" I dislike, but it's ok. "He he" makes me want to throw things. "Fah" and "Feh" don't bother me because they're not used very often (not where I see them, anyway) and if I have seen them my eyes skimmed right over them.

[Autolycus]

My post is my cite.


If i'm not trying to prove anything, is my logic OK? Fuck, I'm going to crash and burn I just know it.

[Carnick]

You don't have to be informed if you already know you're right!

[Equipoise]

Said the man that doesn't read newspapers. :dubious:I'm a woman, and you don't have to read the newspapers to get the news. There's this new-fangled thing out there called the "Internet." Strangely enough, there are thousands of news sites on it. Imagine that! Really, what will they think of next? Also, when I want to read the newspaper, I can go online and read from their web site.

You don't have to be informed... The major liberals on this board, people like luci and Diogenes and Cervaise, are more informed than any right-winger here could ever dream of being. Right-wingers seem to me to be afraid of information and would rather whine about threads that give information and opinions about what's going on.

if you already know you're right!
History will tell, won't it? This administration, the people who voted for it, and right-wingers/conservatives in general are, I believe, going to come off looking so bad future generations are going to be appalled, in the same way we look back at the Dark Ages and are appalled. Not that I think we're in a Dark Ages, but a lot of right-wingers sure would like to see us back there.

[scottkris]

Actually, I think the "quackers" are simply less vocal on the internet.
"We" don't really need to be vocal.

[Jackmannii]

Is this the right place to Pit Pit Bull (http://www.abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2878148) threads?

[miss elizabeth]

I pit people who get their news, in regards to any President, from what their fellow travellers rant about in the SDMB BBQ Pit.

I pit you, you thread pissing bitch. Why the fuck do you even come here? There is no more worthless poster than you. I've never seen a post by you that wasn't your way of flashing your shriveled up cunt at the board and urinating all over any and everything you can hit. You hate it here, and you think everyone on here is an idiot; Good for you! Go to Free Conservatives and yuk it up with the other assholes. You won't be missed, trust me.

[Pedro]

I'm guessing his subscription just ran out, in which case the status defaults to 'guest.'

You would be correct.

[Ludovic]

Similarly, I pit the aging smelly hippies who can’t go one day without pitting our stupid president.

Except they don’t protest in places that matter, no, they do it on the Dope where 99% of the user base already agrees with them. Yeah they should protest at important Presidential meetings so he can get a good feel for how America feels. Good luck with that.

[Liberal]

I'm guessing his subscription just ran out, in which case the status defaults to 'guest.'Ah! That's probably correct.

[Gangster Octopus]

I think the OPs problem is that he or she needs to recognize that the Pit is all style over substance. No one really cares that you have a cubicle-mate who playes Georgian chanting music all day, showers once a week and calls all the women in the office "baby". Nor do we realy care about the latest outrage over the father who raped a two-year old (OK, we care but that isn't really why we post it here). We don't really care about the horrible experince you had Best Buy or Blockbuster or Burger King or Sears or Wal-Mart or Paypal or eBay or the airport or the mall or the theater or the DMV or the post office. But we do like a good story, a good outrage, so it is all in the telling, not in the subject. The opposite of the Pit, of course, General Questions where you could post, "Why sky blue?" and get answers, usually dry and to the point.

So read the Pit not as a source of news or to delve deeply into the personal lives of your fellow dopers. Read the Pit for enterteinment and don't concern yourself with what he post is about.

[Cat Whisperer]

Well, it's all about being stuck up cunts, isn't it?

Aw, snappity!
Ooh, nice double entendre. Very well done.

The only place I've ever heard "Oh, SNAP!" was on "My Name is Earl." Joy says it.

Equipoise, it's so funny that you think there will even BE future generations. That's some pie-eyed optimism there.

[Jodi]

The major liberals on this board, people like luci and Diogenes and Cervaise, are more informed than any right-winger here could ever dream of being. Right-wingers seem to me to be afraid of information and would rather whine about threads that give information and opinions about what's going on.

So true! Information is so frightening, the way it sits there malevolently informing. Everywhere you turn, it's information! You can't swing a dead cat without someone trying to inform you of something. (Like, "You know that cat's dead, right?") Personally, I plan to spend the weekend in my house with the blinds down, wallowing in sweet ignorance. You might be able to lure me forth by a good tractor pull, but first you'd have to inform me that there's a tractor pull going on and I am NOT LISTENING.

[Caridwen]

I pit you, you thread pissing bitch. Why the fuck do you even come here? There is no more worthless poster than you. I've never seen a post by you that wasn't your way of flashing your shriveled up cunt at the board and urinating all over any and everything you can hit.

Sing it. She's never made a post here that was more than a sentence long bitching about something or someone.

[Giraffe]

First off, I pit the fuckwits who enjoy being angry. These miserable sacks wake up every morning and scour the internet for a twisted, fucked up news story that they can then share with us. Raped babies, burnt puppies, burnt babies, raped puppies, the sicker the better. They post this crap on the Pit every day so that likeminded miserable sacks who are “normally against the death penalty” can file in and describe in great detail creative methods for physically punishing criminals. These self-proclaimed atheists will then follow it up with a frowney face and ask God why bad things are allowed to happen. Take your miserable shit and your miserable self and go be miserable alone.I literally couldn't agree more. That's how much I agree with this. 100% agreement.

It's bad enough that the media focuses on every shitty, twisted thing someone somewhere has done and shoves it in our faces until we're jumping at shadows. Do we really need to wallow in that sweet, sweet outrage here?

[Pedro]

You forgot 'fah', which is annoyed dismissal. :D

But then we'd have to get into 'gah' and 'pah', which are simply unacceptable.

[Carnick]

I'm a woman,
Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess.

and you don't have to read the newspapers to get the news. There's this new-fangled thing out there called the "Internet." Strangely enough, there are thousands of news sites on it. Imagine that! Really, what will they think of next? Also, when I want to read the newspaper, I can go online and read from their web site.
When someone says "newspaper" I automatically bundle the paper version with its online counterpart. You specifically implied that you get most of your news from third hand reports on a message board.

The major liberals on this board, people like luci and Diogenes and Cervaise, are more informed than any right-winger here could ever dream of being. Right-wingers seem to me to be afraid of information and would rather whine about threads that give information and opinions about what's going on.
That might be true, but what the fuck does that have to do with anything? You're ignorant, but the right-wingers are more ignorant, so you're excused? How do you even know they're ignorant if you don't go outside a message board that agrees with you for information now and again?

History will tell, won't it? This administration, the people who voted for it, and right-wingers/conservatives in general are, I believe, going to come off looking so bad future generations are going to be appalled, in the same way we look back at the Dark Ages and are appalled. Not that I think we're in a Dark Ages, but a lot of right-wingers sure would like to see us back there.
Nice rant, but again, what the fuck does that have to do with anything?

[rayh]

Well, it's all about being stuck up cunts, isn't it?

Aw, snappity!

:eek: You can't say cunt, that's hate speech that is.

[Equipoise]

So true! Information is so frightening, the way it sits there malevolently informing. Everywhere you turn, it's information! You can't swing a dead cat without someone trying to inform you of something. (Like, "You know that cat's dead, right?") Personally, I plan to spend the weekend in my house with the blinds down, wallowing in sweet ignorance. You might be able to lure me forth by a good tractor pull, but first you'd have to inform me that there's a tractor pull going on and I am NOT LISTENING.Are you a right-winger? No? Then what I said doesn't apply to you. No need to be sarcastic at me. If you're a right-winger and I haven't noticed it before now (my memory banks tell me that you're an intelligent Christian who's willing to listen to what's being said and would more likely respectfully agree to disagree than to imply someone is an unpatriotic heathen), then your sarcastic quote is just about how I picture right-winger's minds (house closed up with the blinds drawn), so, good one.

Equipoise, it's so funny that you think there will even BE future generations. That's some pie-eyed optimism there.I know. I'm a optimistic pessimist. I hope there will be future generations and an enlightened future (complete with appalled historians) but I don't see how it's possible.
Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess Asshole. Why does my stating my gender deserve a comeback like that? It's a mistake others have made and I just correct it. I didn't say "I'm a woman, dickhead" as if you should have known.
When someone says "newspaper" I automatically bundle the paper version with its online counterpart. You specifically implied that you get most of your news from third hand reports on a message board. I did no such thing. My exact quote was...
I don't watch TV or read newspapers, so often, I learn about what asswipe is up to by reading the Pit to see what dickheaded thing the fucktard did today. I don't know if English is your second language, but "often" does not mean "most." Often the way I meant it meant a few times a week. I should have clarified that when I said newspapers I was specifically talking about the paper variety. My mistake. Still, I read online newspapers far less often than other news sites. I use them mainly when I want a local point-of-view for whatever story I'm following.
You're ignorant, but the right-wingers are more ignorant, so you're excused?Everybody's ignorant of something, but right-wingers are woefully ignorant, it seems to me. If something smacks of liberalism, OFF goes the Paying Attention switch, and IN it gets tossed into the Left Wing/Liberal Media rubbish bin. I'm a die-hard liberal, but I'll listen to conservative viewpoints and believe it or not sometimes agree with intelligent, well-thought out, logical points of view, but I rarely see the opposite. It's become hard-wired to dismiss anything a liberal has to say. And no, I'm not talking about anything I say. I'm nowhere near articulate enough, and I'm an admitted hothead. I'm talking about the smart and articulate liberals on this board, of which there are many, but I'm not one of them. I'm just an average person (Republican-raised, incidentally) who can see both points of view and has come to believe that the liberal view is more often than not the better way, smarter, more logical, and more compassionate, less hateful and nasty.
Nice rant, but again, what the fuck does that have to do with anything?Nothing. Just a hijack of the "ignorance is bliss" OP.

[faithfool]

I pit you, you thread pissing bitch. Why the fuck do you even come here? There is no more worthless poster than you. I've never seen a post by you that wasn't your way of flashing your shriveled up cunt at the board and urinating all over any and everything you can hit. You hate it here, and you think everyone on here is an idiot; Good for you! Go to Free Conservatives and yuk it up with the other assholes. You won't be missed, trust me.

Now THAT is a scorch! Damn, that's such a thing of beauty, I do believe I'm tempted to ask miss elizabeth if I can copy and save it somewhere for future use. Sadly though, I'm way too much of a pussy to ever actually trot it out.


But I do stand in fucking awe.

[Carnick]

Asshole. Why does my stating my gender deserve a comeback like that? It's a mistake others have made and I just correct it. I didn't say "I'm a woman, dickhead" as if you should have known.
It's a quote from the old Zelda (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPxY8lpYAUM) cartoon. I thought you were cultured!

Nothing. Just a hijack of the "ignorance is bliss" OP.
Well at least you admit it was a nothing hijack. If this board were full of right-wingers posting daily rants about Hillary Clinton I'd say the same thing. The party is irrelevant, and if you read my OP you'd understand that, but you're too busy ranting, spitting, and hissing like an overgrown toddler whenever you see the word "Bush." I get it, you hate him. So do I. I don't care. Take your hijacks and go away. There are plenty of other OPs here to post your monotonous drivel in. Try this (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=408477) one.

Are you a right-winger? No? Then what I said doesn't apply to you. No need to be sarcastic at me.

Well, am I or aren't I? Since all right-wingers are afraid of information and whine all the time, and you do me the courtesy of not including me in this group, either (a) I'm not a right-winger or (b) your defintion was stupid and inaccurate. Guess which one is correct.

If you're a right-winger and I haven't noticed it before now . . . then your sarcastic quote is just about how I picture right-winger's minds (house closed up with the blinds drawn), so, good one.

Super. So if I'm NOT a right winger, I'm "an intelligent Christian who's willing to listen to what's being said and would more likely respectfully agree to disagree than to imply someone is an unpatriotic heathen," but if I'm AM a right-wiinger then -- ta da! -- magically I become close-minded. I don't care what side of the political aisle you're on, that sort of snap judgment, made on such a flimsy basis, is indefensible and, yes, stupid.

If you put that great big broad brush for a minute, maybe you'd be able to conceive that it's possible that I might be both a conservative and a decent person. Unless you'd like to throw common sense to the wind and line up with the other idiots who unfortunately can't entertain that any person could possibly be both, in which case that's something I'd probably like to keep in mind when reading your posts from now on.

Ok, this paragraph just earned you a spot on my "buy them a beverage if I ever meet them" list. Well said.

"Aw snap," or "oh snap" as I recall it, has been around since I was in high school, ~20 years ago. According to Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oh+snap), the rapper Biz Markie said it first in the 1980's as a clean version of "oh shit," meant in the sense of "oh no you didn't!" I personally like it because it was a catchphrase of my youth that I didn't hear for the entire 1990's, then suddenly started hearing again when I began teaching middle school a couple of years ago.

Don't like it? Meh. Too bad.

What about "word"? Is that still hep?

Thanks for listening. I love you all.

Love? LOVE? Love has no place here!

[Rubystreak]

Believe it or not, it is! I had a kid say it to me today. As in I say, "Your test is postponed until after break." Student: "Oh, word?" I love it. I haven't heard "word to your mother" lately, though, so the outlook isn't totally bleak for hepness.

[Quiddity Glomfuster]

The only place I've ever heard "Oh, SNAP!" was on "My Name is Earl." Joy says it.


I'd heard it other places and not minded it but now Kirstie Alley is using it in one of her ads. I dislike her mightily, she misuses the word, and now I can't hear it w/o thinking of her, which is very off-putting. So 'SNAP' is ruined for me.

[Frylock]

I believe it was our dear departed Excalibre who came up with the apt moniker "recreational outrage."

I can't see through my tears to type about the rest of the hackneyed bunch. :weeps:

Say, you're right, Excalibre hasn't posted since October.

Anyone know why?

I pit people who get their news, in regards to any President, from what their fellow travellers rant about in the SDMB BBQ Pit.I pit you, you thread pissing bitch. Why the fuck do you even come here?

Sing it. She's never made a post here that was more than a sentence long bitching about something or someone.
Now THAT is a scorch! Damn, that's such a thing of beauty, I do believe I'm tempted to ask miss elizabeth if I can copy and save it somewhere for future use. Sadly though, I'm way too much of a pussy to ever actually trot it out.

As I do so often. I agree with Caridwen.

Miss Elizabeth, a belated hello, I can see I am going to like you. You have summed up very well exactly what the mysterious Carol Stream is.

Ask around, I will defend almost anyone on this board. I can find the redeeming value of almost everyone. I have yet to ever find one nice things or one post of value by the scum sucking Troll known as Carol Stream (http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=carol+stream) who is probably just the strange food of a hungry dryer anyway.

He has decided not to return on his own.

To roughly sum it up: "he does not suffer fools gladly". His words and his feelings, but he was fed up with the dope and has decided to stay away. He might still return as I know he at least occasionally reads the dope. He made his decision when he was suspended.

I probably have part of this wrong, I was one of the "fools" he did not suffer gladly for a while. ;)

I've come across about 8,000,000 of your posts today, this being one of them, and would like to officially suggest that you start a cult. I'll be the first to join. :D

Just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime, yo. Word!

[Carol Stream]

I'm a woman, and you don't have to read the newspapers to get the news. There's this new-fangled thing out there called the "Internet." Strangely enough, there are thousands of news sites on it.

And the SDMB BBQ pit is not a news site.

Right-wingers seem to me to be afraid of information and would rather whine about threads that give information and opinions about what's going on. bolding added

You don't seem to know the difference between information and opinion, hence my original comment.

Apparently, you don't want to know what the President actually said or did, you just want to know what the SDMB "major liberals" think about what the President said or did. That's fine, I guess, but it's certainly not fighting (your own) ignorance, dearie.

[Nic2004]

Ah, lighten up. It's not like there's any real argument going on here. Oakie's okay.
Seconded. Deep breaths. In through the nose...out through the mouth. Now, isn't that better? I think somebody needs a hug.

[Equipoise]

It's a quote from the old Zelda (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPxY8lpYAUM) cartoon. I thought you were cultured! Who said I was cultured? I've never seen Zelda so I didn't know the reference. I apologise for calling you an asshole.

...you're too busy ranting, spitting, and hissing like an overgrown toddler whenever you see the word "Bush." Cite? Other than this thread? Don't bother. You can't find a cite for that. Oh god yes I hate him but I've barely posted anything about politics since the 2004 election when I realized that events would just have to play themselves out, and my blood pressure needed a break. Perhaps I did act that way in this particular thread, and I'm sure I've called him names in a couple of somewhat recent Dixie Chicks posts, but other than that, you'd have to cull pretty thoroughly and go back very far to make that "ranting...whenever" true.

[Carnick]

Who said I was cultured? I've never seen Zelda so I didn't know the reference. I apologise for calling you an asshole.
No need to apologize, I am an asshole. I figured you wouldn't have known what the reference was anyway, so I was just jerking off my own inner nerd. 'Sides, chicks don't play video games. Or do math.

Well if the N word is a really, really bad name for a black person.

Then the C word is a really, really bad name for a moderator.
