No, I wouldn’t call it a particularly strong pitting.
So were you saying Liberal was “Over The Top” for exactly quoting the OP, or the OP was “Over The Top” for getting his panties in a wad over a coding error?
The OP is OTT, although I can sympathize with the frustration he felt when making the post.
Perhaps you could help me out.
In the previous thread, Snakespirit agrees with a lot of unpleasant allegations made by Peter Morris about James Randi.
I call Snakespirit on it and ask for cites.
Because I miss out one ‘quote’, even though my meaning is perfectly clear, I get called abusive names too.
And of course Snakespirit refuses to back up any of his snide remarks.
What frustration do you attribute to Snakespirit?
Don’t you think the rest of us feel frustrated that he won’t provide any cites?
I think the great battle betwen the Skeptics (numerous) and the Psi Supporters (not numerous) has worn out the Psi Supporters (not numerous) a bit; nerves are frayed and tempers are hot on both sides, it would appear. In another Pit thread Priceguy was proclaiming how eager he is to see me banned, while I for the life of me can’t recall interacting with the fellow.
I wish we could all treat each other nicely as fellow Dopers at this point and forget the battle for a bit.
Snakespirit is one of my favorite posters on the board, but in the spirit of objectivity I will admit that this thread is pretty useless. Why don’t we all just clean our guns and go at it another day? Personally, I have lots to do and don’t intend to get into debates until after the election.
The OP can, if he wishes, request that the thread be closed. But I believe I recall him saying that “this is fun”.
Fair enough.
So that’s it?
You avoid the valid question of whether your misattribution was deliberate or accidental. Pleading the fifth amendment, are you?
You entertain yourself and your audience by fanticizing what you wish to be true.
(Cute, for elementary school, but really childish if you’re an adult.)
Then you press me to come up with cites about something someone else said.
You want to just drop it now? Fine. Looks like I got my answer.
And I’ve also got a nice list of who on this board is just an abusive idiot.
Moderator, please close this thread.
If you were my nuts, I’d become a eunuch.
You know, if you have an ever-growing list of people who are “abusive idiots” because they don’t crap all over themselves trying to placate you after a ridiculous demand for an apology, one possibility is that they are, indeed, abusive idiots.
But there’s another possibility.
I’d just love to see this list.
You lying sack of shit, glee already addressed your “valid question” in far more detail than it ever deserved:
Are you being deliberately dishonest, or are you just too stupid to read your own thread?
And you’re a hypocrite, too.
And you suck at writing.
You agreed with the sentiment. glee was actually complimenting you by assuming you had more integrity than peter morris, who was gyrating wildly to avoid answering the question. After all, if you agreed with what he was saying, surely you could explain why you agree, couldn’t you?
As is patently obvious at this point, he was giving you far too much credit.
Liberal: a great line made even funnier by SnakeSpirit’s claims that he is, in fact, a eunuch in real life.
Of the people who posted to this thread:
11 devoted themselves to avoiding issues and trashing me.
They used long posts, degredation and multiple posts.
All flash, no substance.
13 made either reasonable or humerous comments without trashing.
It restores my faith in the SDMB.
Czarcasm, you are not on it.
Lists are available, but commercial posts are prohibited. Contact me by email for a price list.
And where did I ever claim that?
You can’t read very well, can you? Or is it just that your memory shits?
It doesn’t work that way, Snakespirit. This isn’t the first time a pitting backfired and surely won’t be the last either. We don’t shut down discussions just because they don’t produce the desired reactions.
You always have the option of no longer participating in the discussion, but we don’t “settle” arguments by proxy by closing down threads.
TVeblen,
Pit mod
Snake, you do realize, of course, that keeping such a list is seriously wierd – in the icky creepy bad sort of way.
As you wish.
I’m satisfied, quite satisfied how this went. It produced exactly the reactions I expected. I’m not disappointed. I was just rolling with the consensus to close the thread.
Right here. Having trouble keeping your lies straight?
And look who was the first one to request a copy!
Of course you realize that I’ve got my name on quite a few lists, too. Lists of “true believers,” lists of “woo-woos,” “right-wing nutjobs,” “pseudoscientists,” “kooks,” etc., etc. Read this thread - lotsa people got my name on their list. I agree - it’s wierd, icky creepy bad.
So glad TV decided to keep this thread open.
