Or, if you follow the links:

1. As a kid, he hoped to one day have a monkey as a pet.
2. He pointed out that he remembered the topic of the thread (Playboy’s pornographic puzzles) and pointed out that, these days, you can just make a puzzle out of any picture using an app.

Yes, the guy has said plenty of Pit-able things. But when you stretch this far to find something to Pit him on, it just starts to seem ridiculous. I’m sure he’ll say something stupidly offensive sooner or later, so why not wait until then?

You got my expectations up for some bullshit and seeing people whip it out of him. Instead I got a lamer version of a snark forum.

Oh, let’s not be _that_ news service then.

Otherwise, any future truly pittable statements could get lost amongst trivial stuff.

11 years ago - wasn’t that about the time Joey on Friends had to have sex with the female producer in order to get an acting role and a whole episode was built around that gag?  
That thread you link to seems to be pretty equally divided.

I’m going to horrify you w/ the truth here; Friends has been off the air for over 13 years. I remember that storyline in Season 2 so I think it was closer to 20 years ago. Joey’s a problematic character for today’s mores, as you may recall it was played for a joke that he had an affair w/ his teacher when he was in 7th grade.

No, erysichthon got it right. Aceplace did write that he has a friend who currently owns a monkey.

Obviously, the part about this friend being imaginary is speculation.

Matthew Perry alone has had four series cancelled since then.

Sure, playing sexual harassment for laughs all that time ago. What were they thinking.

**aceplace57** thinks he’s found a [plot hole](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=843366) in _Back to the Future_.

I know the thread title doesn’t sound promising, but the assumptions underlying Acey’s claim are exceptionally stupid.

It’s also amusing coming from a guy who doesn’t notice the plot holes in his own posts.

He does, eventually, [climb down](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20633829&postcount=17). Very quietly. And acknowledging only the most innocuous evidence against his previously strongly-held wrong assumptions, while tenaciously ignoring the hurricane of corrections to his complete misunderstanding of EVERYTHING related to his subject.

In other works, classic Ace. He’ll eventually admit he’s mistaken. But only by copping to the most trivial charge, and in the smallest type he can get away with.

He tends to think his own personal experience is universal truth, far more so than the average individual.

Otherwise, IMHO these recent examples are weak bases for a pitting. I’d prefer to save my ire for evidence of actual ill will, rather than stubborn ignorance.

Okay, spoilsports, I concede your point. I’ll lay off him for a while, although he doesn’t deserve it. :mad:

While I see your point, my gut tells me that recurring stubborn ignorance, in the face of a _site dedicated to fighting ignorance_, can rise to egregiousness comparable to active malice. And this kind of consistent repetition smacks of trolling\*, TBH. So a pitting is well in order. (Again, IMHO.)

\*“Not trolling, just ignorance.” “Sufficiently advanced ignorance is indistinguishable from trolling.”

I can’t argue with that. And if what he writes pushes you over the edge, I support your right to pit him. Og knows that a few of things he’s written that others considered tame made me nearly blow a gasket.

That’s not nearly as bad as **dougie\_monty** actually believing that Marty was going to rape his own mother.

And he didn’t even watch most of the movie. He walked out when the terrorists attacked Doc at the mall, before Marty even reached 1955.

Hey, if you just want to have fun, I hear there is a subforum elsewhere specifically for snarking on people behind their backs. 😉
