I gotta say, I think I’m coming around on these endless “yo mamma” posts. Sure, they’re entirely devoid of intelligence or creativity, to say nothing of the faintest spark of actual humor. But you could say the same about literally anything Aeschines posts - but at least the yo mamma post are short. He’s managed to condense his schtick of making literally every thread in which he participates both dumber and duller into just a couple of sentences, which is real progress! You managed to compress your normal tedious inanity from its normal Biblical lengths into just a couple lines of unbearable lameness. Please, apply this strategy to more of your posts - it’s much easier to scroll past than your usual Wall of Dumbfuckery.
Yeah, that’s what it looks like when people think before they post.
I guess the A-game wasn’t brought to the Pit today. The thing is, if you don’t start the dogpile out with force, it doesn’t happen. You missed your chance. Even you bring a hundred against me tomorrow, it will seem… Forced. Inelegant. Inorganic. And totally unimpressive.
Dude, it’s fucking hard being funny when you’re around. You have this amazing ability to kill the vibe of any conversation you try to participate in. It’s like trying to tell jokes in front of an open casket.
Thank you. I don’t actually hate ya. You’ve been a decent mod here for the past 30 years, lol.
Haha, just call it what it is: getting pwned. You gotta admit, this is one of the most abortive pittings in the history of the SDMB. Which is funny (and pretty delicious), since I was actually dogpiled pretty well in the original thread. But Stranger had to come in here and get bitchslapped.
But for all of the participants here, I want you to know that I really do love you despite your many flaws, and I’d like to dedicate the following tvtropes.org link to ALL of you:
How often do we actually get people who troll their own Pit threads?
The OP was concise. There were no bells & whistles, but it didn’t need any. But it’s certainly been validated by the subject of said Pitting, and his responses here.
Does it need to happen? Usually a Pit “dogpile” comes about when other posters feel they have something additional to contribute to the OP’s criticisms, or a larger pattern of behavior to elucidate.
This one, though, is fairly straightforward, and the OP and its linked thread said pretty much all that needed to be said.
Yeah, I don’t think any “dogpile” is required to make the point that Aeschines was unambiguously wrong in the linked thread. It’s… weirdly generous of him to try to make a “dogpile” happen with his desperate clowning, I guess? But I don’t think it’s likely to affect the general consensus of “yup, he was wrong”.
LOL, right. People dogpile in the Pit when they feel they can beat the shit out of someone and the mob is present.
It’s precisely the wrong kind of thread to call anyone “unambiguously wrong” in, since the issues are so complicated and require advanced knowledge to argue effectively. I provided a bunch of links to people backing up my positions… but I didn’t say that they were necessarily “right” either. Just that the debate exists.
As I said above, the dogpile already happened in that thread, and I took a beating. And I conceded here that I lacked the knowledge to take on that battle, and, in hindsight, I wouldn’t do it again. The Pit thread was gratuitous. Stranger no doubt wanted some action, but it didn’t materialize. Your saying now that the Pit is a genteel place where people only participate if they have to is laughable. And you know it.
By the way, you’re an intelligent poster. I’m not sure why you’re mucking about with the other dickheads here.
