You're trolling, in other words.

[Fear Itself]

You really think you're going to get any sympathy? Perhaps you should have thought of that before you burnt the bridge you live under, Man Hands.

[Carol Stream]

I don't want sympathy. You're still trolling.

[Fear Itself]

Say that again?

No, you prick. (Allowed under the rules, for some reason).

This is the stupidest thing ever. One of the purposes of the Pit is to try and piss off whoever you are mad at. Why else would you personally insult them? So there's no reason your definition of trolling should be verboten in the pit. So, obviously, your definition of trolling is not the one mentioned in the rules.

Heck, you know that calling a person a troll is going to get a rise out of them, so by your definition, you are a troll.

Maybe "Who's the bigger troll?" can be the topic of our next stickied discussion. Because it's not the topic of this one, I'm directing you to drop the issue in this thread.

I think moving the vegetarian thread to GD was a bad idea. Much of the debate was about who was a bigger asshole, and now we can't talk about that since it's in GD. As I said on the last page:


Some of the best debates are rude.

Point taken. It was an experiment, I don't think I'll be doing that on a regular basis. Thanks for your comments.

Hey G, if you're still taking suggestions, here's another one that is not Pit-worthy:

Thanks, I am. I'll take a look in a while. Unfortunately, I've had a crazy couple of days, and now am playing catch up at work, but I'll check it out as soon as I can.

Moved it. Thanks.

Remember when there was no pit? All these threads were somewhere else. Nobody died.
So, the question What's Pit-worthy gets my vote on: Nothing. Everything could be elsewhere.

No, and neither do about 95% of the membership. The Pit has been around since almost the beginning of the vBulletin iteration of this message board.

And on UBB before that.

Can't tell you about the old AOL version of the board.

I second this! (Mainly, just because it'll probably, piss somebody off!)

Well... Excuuuuuse me!

[FXMastermind]

You fucking bump a two year old thread just for that?

The nerve of some people. Using an old thread rather than starting a new one to expound their personal opinion about shit.

[silenus]

Well played.

And your bump was almost a month after that. And my bump is almost four months after the last post.
