Joes, since can't grow a pair and man up. I started a pit thread for you. So, you can tell me (and everyone else) what the fuck your problem is with me. Since, I didn't do anything to you.

[Yorikke]

Hahaha! Seriously? My first pitting. I feel like a man now. Go back under the bridge, little man.

ETA : Read the thread linked in the OP, then the thread about Chevy Chase that was recently unzombified, and all questions will be answered.

Not interested in a shouting match, but I will answer any specific questions that I feel like answering.

Joe

[YaraMateo]

Answer the question at hand. What the hell is up your ass? So, I'm not allowed to complain about someone bringing back an old thread? So, you're in control of my actions? How come you didn't bitch at anyone else who complained (and said it was a stupid reason) to bring back a dead thread?

FYI, I'm a woman.

[Euphonious Polemic]

This pitting is kind of old.....

It's a pitting about a comment in a thread about an art exhibit from three years ago. As far as I know, very few (if any) Dopers even read the thread.

Because I felt like it.

FYI, I actually thought you were a woman, but could've sworn that I saw you post otherwise. My mistake. I amend my remarks to, "Go back under your bridge, little WOMAN."

In the future, you could ignore me. As I've told you before, in those posts I wasn't talking TO you or ABOUT you.

You're a hypocrite. You can do what you want, but you feel you can say who's posts are releveant or not to threads.

[kaylasdad99]

OG, wheresgeorge04, I really wish you hadn't responded, and had let this piteous excuse for a Pit Thread just ride off the front page. The poor dear is clearly out of her depth, in the umbrage-taking department, and honestly, it's not like a Pitting is REALLY a badge of honor. :smack:

That said, a Pro-Tip for the OP: When you're going to Pit an individual it's generally more effective to put the individual's username, rather than his sign-off name into the title. There's more than one Doper who signs his posts with "Joe," and it's not like your epic feud with wheresgeorge04 is widely-known enough at this point to allow anybody to get your meaning from context.

That is all.

[Yorikke]

Right. This is about Merijeek, right?

I can comment as I see fit, on anyone's posts, as can you. I fully support your right to comment as you see fit on anyone's posts.

Sorry. I'll keep that in mind, but no plans on pitting anyone else.

[Euphonious Polemic]

Thank God for that. This one was pathetic.

Me, that's who.

Goddamned kids.

[Do Not Taunt]

I love me some righteous anger, but I don't understand this pitting even a little. It seems that wheresgeorge posted a link to a pacman skull in a thread about cartoon skeletons, YaraMateo commented immediately afterwards, but apparently in reference to a different post that something was old, wheresgeorge seemed to believe the comment was to him and slightly overreacted, and then Yara accused him of stalking, even though wheresgeorge had posted in the thread first. Seriously, very little of this makes any sense at all. Is there some context I'm missing? I was hoping for popcorn.

[Oakminster]

Joe's busy. Has to go shoot his old lady. Caught her messin' round with another man.

[the lone cashew]

Joe? What happened to George?

[Crotalus]

Joe? What happened to George?

We have no idea where George is.

[Gyrate]

He's gone to watch his brother Liberace play.

[chela]

Joe is on a roll, without provocation he got all stabby in the closed Picunurse thread too.

[kidchameleon]

Sorry. I'll keep that in mind, but no plans on pitting anyone else.

Awww, Dio hasn't been pitted in at least a month.

[brewha]

What Chevy Chase thread? Pit threads are supposed to be all angry and full of relevant links. Now, I gotta search to find WTF the pitter or pittee is supposed to be pissed about.

I may as well get some actual work done.

[Maus Magill]

Man... I was hoping to find out where he was going with that gun in his hand, too.

[Merijeek]

There is more than one Joe on this board. You fucking attention hog.

-Joe

[Vinyl Turnip]

This is the latest in a series of threads in which two posters are arguing about some stupid grudge and I have no fucking idea why.

We can do better.

[Smeghead]

I have no idea what's going on here.

Luckily, I also don't care!

[Bryan Ekers]

You're a hypocrite. You can do what you want, but you feel you can say who's posts are releveant or not to threads.

And others can respond (or not respond) to that as they want. I fail to see the problem.

[PlainJain]

This is the part that confuses me, as well.

[Bryan Ekers]

Well, maybe if "Joe" was a moderator and had the ability to ban posters for speaking out while preventing others from doing so (or threatening to prevent them from doing so) while he himself spoke out.

I wouldn't bother calling him a hypocrite, though. Just an asshole, and I would say goodbye to the board in that post and move on.

[Crazyhorse]

OK just so everyone is on the same page here: Someone bumped a 6 year old thread about Chevy Chase http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=300253 to correct a spelling error in one of the ancient posts.

So YaraMateo said:

People who do thing like this (and there's been a lot of it lately) should be banned.

And then wheresgeorge04 said:

I just strained my optic nerve, my eyes rolled so hard.

Joe

Sometime a day or two later Twickster opened a thread to share a link to something she thought was cool.

These are too cool. Ignore the fact that duck beaks are not made of bone, 'kay?


So then YaraMateo said:

This is kind of old...

And then wheresgeorge04 said:

You bitch and moan about zombies, now you bitch about a thread started today as "kind of old." What the fuck do you want from us?

Joe

And then this snoozer of a Pit thread was born.

As an aside, during the melee Colibri used the term: "Horny sheath" and didn't get so much as a mod note for it!

Actually, they are, at least inside. The outside is a horny sheath.

If you think it might liven things up, I could toss in some more risque terms from ornithology.

Right. This is about Merijeek, right?

Joe

Well, now I'm embarrassed. I can't believe I didn't check to see if I was mentioned first. I guess I'm just that humble or something. I'm going to flex in front of a mirror and admire my humility.

We've got the birds covered. Now we need someone to cover the bees.

Awww, Dio hasn't been pitted in at least a month.

That may have something to do with the fact that he just recently came off a one-month suspension.

He's hanging out with Waldo. Incognito.

Excuses, excuses. ;)

I like my women like I like my coffee - covered in bees.

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

What a lame pitting.

I haven't been this disappointed since I learned the horehound a friend offered me was a throat lozenge.


mmm

[Colibri]

I can't believe you left out BushTit.
