I know you want to do it.  
So why not attack me here, rather than do it in the other thread you all hijacked.  
Thanks to everyone, with nothing valid to add. Thanks to belladonna, the only member who actually(other than me) tried to contribute something of value to that thread.  
I mean, I must be an idiot. I am against the war and against a popular member.  
Since, after all I am such an idiot. I deserve to be attacked. For disagreeing with a popular member. I must.  
After all, your in the right. Because I am an idiot.  
So, do your moral and public duty and fucking verbally rape me in the ass. It is right.  
Right?

No, **neutron star**! Don’t start talking sense! “Shutted the fuck up” has been the funniest part of my day so far. Don’t take that away from me!

Perhaps one of you gentlemen could direct me as how to do a proper noose knot with a mouse cord?

Your help would be appreciated.

I like it here, and don’t have any specific complaints. Just because I don’t agree with you doesn’t make me a bad guy.

Is there a Post Count™ requirement or time in requirement I need to fulfill before I can express my opinions? Or should I just run my ideas past the likes of you to see if they pass muster?

:rolleyes:

Go check yer spellin’ pardner. I’ve seen enough pig piles here to know one when I see one. And for reasons that escape me, I felt compelled to speak up.

You don’t like? Tough shit.

At best, you have 65% of people who answered a poll said they were both American and for the war. This does not translate into “65% of all Americans are for the war.”

Never let it be said we aren’t a helpful bunch here.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, the asshat poster gets the pig pile. I do understand where you are going **Winston Smith** , and I feel that some new members of this board have been unfairly targeted. This case doesn’t raise my ire in the least. **MH** has started a pit rant aimed at a person that didn’t direct anything at **MH**. I’ll admit that **Ekers** was pretty callous in his comment, but it was a comment that was best pitted by **SixSeven** or **Hentor the Barbarian** (who I feel had a perfectly legitimate pit rant against **SixSeven** )

**MachineHead** has shown an immaturity in this thread and others. His attempts at humor have fallen flat. I just don’t feel like standing up for an asshat.

See, now you have indentified yourself clearly as a moron. That’s helpful. Your whiny low post-count victimology crap was annoying but slightly puzzling. I wondered what your fucking malfuction was on this-- I was going to search your name to see what high count poster deservedly had ripped you a new one.

But you saved me a bit of work with your inspired post. “Blah, Blah, Blah” Man, what a riot! I guess when you cannot make a single well supported argument, act like a general asshat. Seems like you and **MachineHead** , are kindred morons. Its nice that you are not lonely in posting your insipid brand of victomology mixed with pathetic attempts at insults.

BTW: if you are going to be a pathetic one-trick pony, do try to put a bit more effort into it.

:dubious:

Name calling? You’ve got to be kidding me. That speaks for itself, so I’ll just move along.

There’s a difference between observation and ethos. Seriously. You can check the dictionary if you don’t believe me.

Aren’t you paying attention? Oh, wait. I get it. You ran my post through spell check, maybe thumbed through a dictionary to look up a couple words, and couldn’t find any glaringly obvious spelling or grammatical errors, so now you’re back to name calling. A nive diversionary tactic, but it’s not working. (And again with the name-calling. You must be the King of the Playground.)

**MachineHead** , I don’t know whether you’ve also done this, but consider e-mailing the moderators for the Pit. It’s likely to speed the closing along.
