That there? That’s priceless shit, it really, really is.
Just limit yourself to posting, let’s say, four threads a week. And you can’t make them all on the same day. And they can’t be all in the same forum.
Something like that?
Oh, and one more thing: Don’t shit on the mods. They are the last people on this board you want to piss off.
Adam
If you have a problem, why don’t you fucking ACTUALLY MAKE AN ARGUMENT instead of just pointing and giggling like a chimp? You’re saying NOTHING when you make a post like this! “Uhh, this shit is priceless, huh huh huh” is no different than making a “Pulls up a chair to watch LOLZ” post.
What the hell has happened to this place?
Hee hee hee, haw haw haw, AUGUST.
I guess the joke is that a few of us are only “Members Since,” but I personally lurked for almost two years before finally joining up, and I imagine this is true of several others.
Think. Learn.
Agent Foxtrot, Atticus Finch, VCO3, etc. let’s talk please.
You are not condescending assholes
you read OPs and make effort to understand what I post
you respond respectfully and constructively.
As for the others (neutron star) kindly don’t respond anymore.
Is that Kellogg’s or Post?
Oh, I read it. Actually, it was the funniest thing I read all day. Are you apologizing or just whining and trying to justify your actions? It’s pretty hard to tell, but I’d have to assume the latter. You apologized for the large fonts, then used one to tell everyone to fuck off a mere four paragraphs later. You bemoaned the plethora of Pit threads dedicated to you, so you started another one.
And somehow, despite your best efforts, you can’t come up with a solution to this problem:
:smack:
Like you did during that long period when you claim to have been lurking? :dubious:
I would like to acknowledge the apology to Qadgop. He’s done it more than once and it is worth noting.
My dad told me once that it is easier to not say something than to try to unsay it later. This is not bad advice. But when one *has *said something, well there really is only one recourse and that is to apologize. Andrewdt85 has done this and again I say it is worth noting.
I do not share most of his other beliefs - I have had some great doctors and some bad ones - but he is welcome to them. I do think he has tried his best to make the insult to **Qadgop **right. Good for him.
(Please note, the insult was to **Qadgop **and not to me, so I cannot accept it - I just want to point out that one has been made.)
And Andy here knows all about condescending assholes!
Seriously man, when ten people tell you you’re drunk, lie down.
Or, if you prefer, if nobody likes you, fucking leave the board.
When you start a thread about yourself in the Pit, you are inviting a critical pile-on. You just can’t tell people not to respond when you’re leaving yourself open to shots like that.
Adam
Unfortunately, mate, they don’t have to follow that. The trick is not to restrict the debate, but just to pick the good stuff out of the bad.
Seriously, you’ve got some good stuff to talk about. Your thread on country / western and other artists as sellouts was pretty interesting, for example. But you see how continually posting stuff in the pit naturally makes you a target of ire? You’ve pretty much got three options:
- Keep fighting back, which is a natural response because you feel the urge to defend yourself against what you see as unfair slurs, but which ultimately just leads to more fighting;
- Completely buckle under, make a mea culpa, which would solve the problem of people arguing against you, but you can’t really do (I couldn’t do that either); or
- Leave off posting for a while, at least in the Pit, and just dabble your toes in the water, posting in other people’s threads, starting a thread or two a week, until you get the hang of it and people forget about the current unpleasantness.
Out of those three options, war, surrender and truce, the third is the most workable, right?
People like you.
I SAID THAT IN THE OP!!! I admitted that I WON’T SHOUT ANYMORE, BECAUSE IT IS ANNOYING, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SO FRUSTRATING THAT SO MANY DON’T READ OPS OR LISTEN!!! AND NOW YOUR DEAFNESS HAS BROUGHT IT BACK. SO DO YOU GET IT NOW, WHY I WOULD DO THIS SHIT?!! PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO NEVER. READ. OPS.
Sorry, that just irked me so badly.
:sad: But I’m so insatiably curious and I have twice if not thrice that many questions to ask every week.
Absolutely! I’ve followed every darn one of my threads to the end, and I’ve learned from every one, asking posters to clarify things, etc.
I’m serious. Go find one of my 218? old ones, then grill me on the info I should have learned from the posters there.
I like you AF, but you also did not read the OP clearly- I specifically state that I only Pit when I’m honestly angry about something and need to vent.
Again, AF, you didn’t read the OP- I said I WAS GONNA DO THAT!!! Even you, AF, have got something to learn about reading OPs, you know?
Today we’ve secretely replaced Andrew’s coffee with equal parts meth and LSD. Let’s see if he notices.
Why don’t you use your signature Andrew?
That would make you one popular dude!
Do you even read your own posts?
You don’t have a sacred right to vent and rant about anything you want and get only constructive, helpful replies in return. We’re not a fucking support group. You say stupid stuff that pisses people off, they’re going to exercise their own right to vent and rant about it. often in the form of insults. That’s just how it works.
Sure, you got a lot of negative responses that basically all said the same thing. People like to give their opinions, even when others have already expressed similar opinions. If no one posted opinions that had already been offered, this board would have like fifty posts total. And half of them would probably be from you.
So, in summary: stop being such a fucking baby.
sigh
If you like me, then heed my advice. You keep going back to the same methods: writing in all caps, font sizes, etc. You did it in your OP right after you apologized for doing it.
I’m no longer posting in this thread. I’ve fed the troll enough.
