Ah…and here I thought it was the last person to post who won! I’m shocked…SHOCKED…that I posted the most in my own Pit thread rant against Gonzo. I mean…who’da thunk it??? I have some fabulous parting gifts for you as well Hentor, including the home edition of The Straght Dope Message Board game and a years supply of Pop Rocks! Thanks for playing though…the door is on your right… -XT ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > You can possibly win a stupid thread like this? What are the characteristics of victory? To XT getting off insults is victory. I hope it pleases him to demonstrate the best of being a teenager. But adults actually grow up and deal with subject matter. Apparently we have dopers who like to prove that children come in all ages. If I insult you I win. Gimme my prize. Actually, adults would long since have exited the thread, secure in the knowledge that it’s quite irrelevant what someone else says about them, especially someone they consider a child with little redeeming value. But I digress… ---

The first couple times XT pitted me I ignored him. But he is such a kid I could not resist. I do not know why any one would pit someone. Let alone why XT thinks it is a device for improving his arguments. Of course it is the opposite. ---

Nah, you’re just trolling again. It’s quite clear to everybody else that XT has said, repeatedly, that he’s just venting due to your atrocious behavior. Behavior which many people from all points of the political spectrum have objected to, leaving your only defenders a partisan whore and someone whose personal issues with XT causes him to babble that if he invents a claim of grammatical malfeasance, then the OP is guilty of violating Gaudere’s Law. Meh. Hopefully the mods one day decide “well, maybe he really is that stupid?” isn’t a defense against anything. ---

[QUOTE=gonzomax] The first couple times XT pitted me I ignored him. [/QUOTE] As far as I know I’ve pitted you once before gonzo old chum…and I can count the number of posters I’ve pitted since I’ve been here (since around 2003, though I changed accounts in the past) on one hand. > [@](#): > > But he is such a kid I could not resist. You couldn’t resist being an idiot? Well…no, I suppose you couldn’t at that. > [@](#): > > I do not know why any one would pit someone. Well, the number of things you don’t know is…staggering. No real mystery there. That you don’t know why you were pitted is a pretty fair indication of how much of an idiot you are. > [@](#): > > Let alone why XT thinks it is a device for improving his arguments. I didn’t pit you to improve my argument, fool…I pitted you because you are an idiot and you were annoying as hell in the thread originally linked to in the OP. As for the original thread subject linked in this pitting…I said all I needed to say THERE. -XT ---

Do you have a cite for the ‘I can think’ part of your statement? Normally I’d give a poster a pass on that, but in your case I’m highly skeptical… -XT ---

Are you really too stupid to understand how remarks like that diminish you? Did you actually think that was brilliant repartee?

[QUOTE=Nancarrow] Let he who is without grammatical usage tics cast the first stone, Ellipsis Boy. [/QUOTE] I didn’t cast the first stone there guru. I was merely pointing out what had been brought up earlier about comma usage. > [@](#): > > (Seriously… dude… take a look… at your… last… dozen… p… os… ts… .) Um…were they significantly different than my first dozen?

Agreed. It can die anytime as far as I’m concerned. I’m sure gonzo will be back though to poke it a few more times to see if it can be revived again. -XT ---
