Isn’t this 2010? Also, well, what’s the, um, Pit? Is the OP saying he likes the list, dislikes the list or…what? I can see drive by posts but drive by OP’s are pretty freaking annoying. Of course, it IS The Gonz… -XT ---

I think that the OP generally posts the new list each year. He probably saw this one and assumed it was for 2009, as I imagine it would be about time for that one, and posted it. Simple mistake. ETA: Oh, and **Paul** …it’s Sara **h**. I have been on the receiving end of that mistake too many times and so I am always kind of irked to see it. 🙂 ---

I was in error. I figured it was time for the new 50 most loathsome. the Buffalo Beast has been doing it for years. I just put in the latest one I could find. It was a year old. The new one ,I am sure, is coming soon. However, if you are not familiar with it, it is still an interesting read. ---

But The Gonz put SO much work into this OP, I really feel bad for him that he didn’t know it’s not 2008 any more. The OP had everything…biting commentary, pungent though well crafted language, and a surprising wit, while still cutting right to the heart of the matter and leaving the Pit-ee in a blubbering mass of humiliation and shame. Brilliant! As usual, when he has too, The Gonz delivers the goods, showing once again why he is a valuable member of our little SD community here. Left leaning 'dopers should be proud to have one such as he firmly on your side… _started to tear up_ -XT ---

[QUOTE=gonzomax] Whats wrong with you? I worry about you, I really do. You are such a petty and nasty person. Let go. You can relax and enjoy life. [/QUOTE] But I DO enjoy life, and you wouldn’t believe how relaxed I am these days. As I’ve said before, it’s true I’m petty and nasty. I’m also lazy and shiftless. They were natural talents that I’ve spent years perfecting. You on the other hand were born stupid, which is no fault of your own, but you are also ignorant and, sadly, you have also spent years honing your ignorance into a club you attempt to beat fellow posters over the head with. You post an OP that is a year out of date and with basically a link and a (breathless) comment that this list is out. And? Nothing. You leave it to the reader to once again figure out just what the fuck you are on about (though I doubt most care). No explanation about the list. No comments about various people on the list. No comments at all. No follow on posts illustrating your ire at the list (I presume), only a lame as post saying you were in error (gee, there’s a shocker) and thought it was the lastest OP, not the one from 2008(even though it’s in the title of your OP, moron). And when I comment about it, your scathing repartee is for me to ‘shut up’. :rolleyes: -XT ---

Seriously, folks. **Gonzomax** screwed up and posted an old link. Shit happens. So he put the wrong year in the title as well…None of you has forgotten the year in January? Nobody has written “2009” on a check, etc.? It really seems that some of you will take any opportunity to attack him, and it makes you look like a bunch of petty bullies. If this thread had been started by pretty much anyone else the replies would be incredibly different. I am quite sure that someone, somewhere, has started a thread more worthy of your oh-so-delightful repartee. Is this really worth your time?
