Lost the edit window  
Is this what your rant was about? Stop being an asshole then.

Sometimes we make fun of folks just because it’s The Pit and we have no clue.  
**You have added ammunition to that pile**. My apologies (maybe). You can make fun of me and hopefully I can make fun of you.  
But you will need better track record here or you WILL get scorched. 🙂

Your GD thread was closed because you didn’t actually offer anything to debate. Links weren’t required. But you do have to actually offer an argument, which includes reasons for that argument. You did not do so.

Threads are closed all the time in GD for not being a debate. Sometimes they are moved to the appropriate forum. You should be happy that it was not, as the Pit is actually the appropriate forum for what you did, and you would have gotten your ass handed to you much more than you did here.

In this thread, you just seem crazy. In that thread, you were a bigot.

To quote Ed Zotti:

One doesn’t diss the Master on the Master’s dime, chum.

If that guy got the boot in 2003, why not apply it in 2011?

OP: Those meds that you’ve been off of for around a month or more… get back on them before the men in white show up. You don’t really want to go back there, do you?

> My last thread: Homosexuality ~ A mod name tomdebb, closed because no links were posted. I had no idea this was necessary to win a debate. Logical should take the place of any link. In fact, where is this board’s definition of trolling? I cannot find it posted. Did Tomdebb close my thread for personal reasons? I realize I’m confrontational, however, in most cases my threads get hit with a hail of snide remarks and laughter… Not that I mind, makes my job easier. My job, is shoveling up the truth to an otherwise overwhelmingly prejudice subject matter.

You’ve been shoveling something, alright, but I wouldn’t call it “truth”.

This is what happens when you let the crazy people use library computers.

He isn’t amusing, he’s annoying. Please pull the trigger already.
