[QUOTE=Inner Stickler] HAW HAW! See, it’s funny because **Carol Stream** essentially told **Pixilated** to go hang out in MPSIMS because she ( **Pixilated** ) can’t handle the heat of the pit. Haw Haw! No wait, that’s not funny. It’s stupid. Just because you can be nasty in the pit, doesn’t mean you should. [/QUOTE] It’s not that I cant handle the heat, I just didnt understand the warrant for such snide remarks/hostility. I brought it up because I thought maybe there was some history that I was unaware of - like maybe these peeps are practicing for the Yo’ Momma contest, or maybe they’re actually really good friends that take cheap jabs at eachother for fun. ---

Truly I have been shown the error of my ways. I go forth a new and better man to be an asshole to all and sundry for no reason other than because I can. ETA: **Pixilated** , I figured it probably wasn’t a problem for you. **Carol Stream** however, seems to believe that it is her right, nay even duty, to threadshit in every thread she finds. If that means making cracks at posters for no reason then she will do that. ---

When the hell are they just going to banned you for being the troll you have been since you showed up? ---

[QUOTE=Tapioca Dextrin] Can you ban folks for being cunt-faced shit-for-brains? [/QUOTE] No but they can be banned for trolling. Why that hasn’t happened in **Carol Stream’s** case is beyond me. This thread might be a new low, but I can’t find anything she’s contributed beyond trolling and thread-shitting. Do the mods even ban trolls now? I can’t recall anyone being banned for straight-up trolling. I can’t recall anyone banned for being a jerk either, although that’s the first rule of this board. ---

Wow. I no longer use the “ignore” option, let alone mention who I’d use it on, but **Carol Stream** , you are a _cunt_. I will continue to try to skip over your posts. (And this is from a person who knows all the history and connotations of your lame-ass username, cunt.) ---

Waitaminute. I have no dog in this fight, and no history with either **Q.E.D.** or **Carol Stream**. But from where I’m sitting, **Q.E.D.** started this with his unnecessarily sarcastic reply – complete with rolleyes smiley – to a pefectly neutral and on-topic post from **Carol** that wasn’t even directed at him. Why does he get a pass? ---
