I’ve waited for you to reply to that thread, where you labelled me a 12 year old. I’ve also waited for some kind of apologetic reply. I guess I was being nice, but this is **the Pit** and now FUCK YOU.

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=181672](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=181672)

I’ve stewed in ire and now I’m done stewing and what’s been cooking is going to be served. I don’t care if I’m going to look like the boorish lout in this one, because I am a boorish lout.

Did I offend you with that “deathwish” on Michael Jordan? You started the thread and you were happy-go-lucky until I added your Idol MJ to the thread. I’m assuming that 23 at the end of your SDMB ID refers to your idol.

Well, FUCK YOU, calling me a 12 year old. I gave my opinion in that thread and you insult me by calling me an immature child because of the language I use? the words “geezer”, “ass” and “sorry” are not supposed to be used by adults? Sorry for being less than articulate with my vocabulary. I don’t find the need to ham it up to sound like an intellectual because I am not.

Do I need to apologize that my “wish” doesn’t fit into your world?  
Do I need to have factual evidence for what I “wish”?  
Do I need to get permission from you to say what I feel now?

Were you being sarcastic? Because I don’t know who the fuck you are and being a sarcastic ass to me with an insult doesn’t impress me. Would I be like this if you were a sarcastic ass in real life? face to face I’d still give you a piece of my mind. You, are a fucking jackass, sarcastic or otherwise, you are a fucking jackass.

I guess my two cents in that thread aren’t up to par with what you wished for. But come on, where do you get your superiority complex from to call me a child for what I opine? I know my views are hard to swallow most of the times. I am confrontational. I am offended by your little remark and I am exacting my revenge by shitting on your pompous comment about my age. Go fuck yourself.

So go fucking hide some more, ignore me, ignore this thread, but I won’t ignore the fact that you are a fucking jackass. I’ll read your posts, laugh it up at your jackass comments. No matter how insightful, no matter how inspiring and no matter how well thought out, a fucking jackass is still a fucking jackass. I’ll look at you and your kind with an edge.

I’ll be the jackass here because I am one bitter son-of-a-bitch.

Oh and apologies are NOT accepted from here on in. So have a nice life in that bubble world you live in, where people can’t have an opinion that matches yours.

Well, does that deserve biting his head off in that thread or this one? Grow the fuck up, get a thicker skin or else you won’t last long. One comment doesn’t equal someone is a permeanaent jackass. So, by your logic , if you ever say something stupid/hateful/ or act like a jackass on an occasion, we should hold that against you? We should use that one comment to value your characther for the rest of your posting career?

Lemme get this straight-you broke several rules (death wishes and insults outside the Pit), and you throw a hissyfit because someone made a flip remark?

Yeah, you’re gonna last a LONG time around here, dude.

I read that thread, and I really don’t see anything worth pitting about. He made a couple of statements of extremely mild disagreement with you and you flew off the handle, both there and here. Lighten up; to disagree with your opinion doesn’t constitute an attack on your character.

What are you, 12? 😛

(C’mon, somebody was going to say it.)

Dude, **Guin** , the whole thread is about what celebrity you’d hypothetically kill if you could. And it’s not locked yet. So my instinct would be to back off on the death threat bit.

In the context of the thread, what **Madawc** posted seems pretty tame to me, but neither party has come off very well in the squabble that’s resulted in the original thread from **Marley23** ’s reply. And it’s soooo not worth a whole Pit thread, IMHO.

No, you look like an idiot. Is this what you were shooting for? I’d give my eyeteeth to be a boorish lout in comparison to _this_. If you pull your head out of your ass long enough to get a clue, let us know, ok?

I know I look like an idiot, but the interaction between **Shayna** and \*\* Sauron\*\* compelled me to bring this shit up.

The disagreement and insults were talked about, closure occurred with a discrete apology from **Sauron** for throwing an insult. Now that’s what I call class…

Not too offensive, is it? Yet it still provokes this reply from Madawc (and this is in Cafe Society)

God just shut the fuck up if you don’t have anything to add to this thread then a cheap ass insult to me. Go fuck yourself ten times over and bow to your idol MJordan.

What a fucking asshole.

BTW whereabouts did **Marley23** explicitly pledge undying allegiance to Michael Jordan - can we have a link?

For starters, he didn’t call you a 12 year old in the post.

Jordan is 40. And still averaged 20 pts per game. The term ‘geezer’ is generally used to describe folks much older, or at the very least, a bit decrepit.

His post called into question your calling Jordan a geezer. Along the lines of 'if you think _that_ is old and decrepit, you must be pretty damn young".

There was no insult in **Marley23** ’s post. You should be apologizing to _him_.

Actually, from the behaviour I see here, I am firmly of the opinion that **Madawc** is _thirteen_ years old. It’s the only explanation. Who else would be so bothered by being labelled twelve?

Good point. Just as well Marley23 didn’t accuse him of kissing girls or we’d have seen some real fireworks.

Possibly twelve _and a half_.

I give him 14. He is very, very lucky he didn’t get Banned for posting this in Cafe Society.

You might not want to point out your misbehavior to the Mods by opening a Pit thread. The fact that this is blowing up in your face is additional evidence of the ill-advised nature of this Pitting.

I happen to like Bob Marley. He got shot once before.

What’s my point? I have none. I know I have no point.  
However, **Madawc** seems to have trouble figuring out that _he_ has no point either.
