Well, as much as I dislike the OP and his mannerisms, I do agree that **Brian Ekers** was acting like a bit of a twit in **sixseven** ’s and **Hentor** ’s pit threads. Hentor had points. sixseven is rude and lacks reading comprehension. I don’t see what Hentor did to deserve being accused of working at a fast-food joint (which is pretty insulting for someone who’s SATs were a couple of decades ago.) Not to mention automatically dismissing a pit thread because the poster has a low post count and recent reg date. Sorry **Brian** , but it rather smacks of elitism to me. ---

> [@](#): > > No. I want to be insulted as much as possible. > After all, I do desrve it right? Well, if you want the thread to stay open, but asked for it to be closed, then you deserve it. But, if you want it closed, and you don’t want any helpful advice to achieve that goal, then you probably deserve it. But, if you want it closed, and you’re just continuing the them of “kick the n00b”, all the while taking the helpful suggestion, then you probably don’t. Like so many things in life, the choice is yours. Really, mods don’t have the time to read every post every minute of the day. They don’t seem to mind the occasional polite request for action. ---

**MachineHead** , one imagines that you are becoming a bit skeptical of our motives, but I’m not trying to set you up with the mods. That would lead to Very Bad Things[symbol]ä[/symbol] happening to me. ---

Wow your spelling & grammar insult obsession it truly impressive-- bad spelling bee experience as a kid? That and your continued insistence that people are out to get you because of you post count rather then the content of your posts tends to make any dialogue with you an exercise in futility. Again, your poor attempts at refutation were either repetitive in the nature of “I know you are, but what am I?” Or unintentionally ironic. Meh. Some of the material you tried was funny, just not in the manner which you intended. So in answer to your question: > [@](#): > > Is this better? Sorry junior, it’s actually getting worse. But really, what are we doing here? While I don’t mind pointing how foolish your “woe is me, the poor oppressed low post count Newbie” position was, it looks like we are now going nowhere. What’s the point of this? I think you are probably an idiot, and you probably don’t like me either. Shall we keep tossing insults or move along? ---

MachineHead, you can either e-mail a mod to close the thread, or hit the “Report this post to a moderator” button and ask them through that. ---

I think you are probably an idiot, and you probably don’t like me either. Shall we keep tossing insults or move along? \*\* You’re finally starting to come around, and I’m proud of you. I don’t think you’re an idiot. I think the rush to hang a newbie out to dry because of the myriad reasons we invoke is a little harsh at times, even when they’re caustic little newbies to begin with. I didn’t attack anyone specifically. I just threw a few anonymous sentences out onto a message board, and you bit. Back and forth a bit, and here we are. I don’t think you’re an idiot, but I think you jumped to a few conclusions, upped the ante, and started casting insults way before it became even remotely necessary.
