Cisco would like to pit me

That’s an interesting opinion you have there. Care to justify your spontaneous insult, or are you just driving by?

I wasn’t actually referring to you. I was referring to Cisco and Frylock.

Human suffering albinism generally have light blue eyes, although sometimes under certain lighting they can appear pink and/or violet. Cite, cite, and cite.

There you go, Q.E.D., etc.

This may be the lamest pitting I’ve ever read. Who pits himself on behalf of someone else?

Oh, sure. Now you use the quote button.

ooo -ooo I know this one!!!

fuckity fucked fuckwads…can;t believe they wasted the fucking fucked up bandwidth to start a fucking pit thread to argue about fucking nothing.

Fuck.
(there, does that help get the fucking fuck quotient up to atleast pit fuck level 1?)

Correcting the blanket part of an incorrect blanket statement led to all that?
I’m going to have to second Cisco’s initial statement in this thread.

I want to state publicly that if I had had any idea what an ugly can of worms I was going to open up, I would have kept my /nitpick/ entirely to myself. Mea culpa.
:frowning:

And btw, I assume neither Frylock nor Cisco is a Discworld fan, because Perdita X Nitt (or, “'that Agnes, who calls herself Perditax” according to Granny Weatherwax) a female. I am a she, not a he, just for future reference. :slight_smile:

Frylock. Gah. I hate it when people post without reading the thread.

It was a rhetorical question! This is the dumbest thread ever!

I dunno about that; Lib’s pitting of lissener has devolved into a pretty impressive display of petty bickering and dick measuring. Given the target, this should come as a surprise to no one.

I have to take that back. I just went to go read the thread again, and everyone’s being all nice, now. Whodathunkit?

Naw, it was my pitting of diggleblop that turned into the dick measuring thread.

Damn I had to go and read all that bullshit in the other thread. Now I want to poke out my pink eyes.

Is it just me? Everytime someone says “This is a board dedicated to fighting ignorance” or some such the rest of their post automatically get translated to “blah blah blah” in my head.

Not all the time, but when I read “this is a board dedicated to fighting ignorance” in a uber-geeky Lost thread it definitely translates to “blah blah blah”

We don’t fight ignorance. We mud-wrestle with it.
blah blah blah

I’m a fan, but I haven’t read the books that focus on those characters. And I haven’t read any Discworld books in the last three years or so. :frowning:

Now I know you’re a girl though so ok. (Although, come to think of it, did I call you “he?” Because I would have thought I would have called you “she” based on your name, even without the Discworld reference.)

Your “/nitpick/” was a false one. You didn’t say “Most albinos have blue eyes” you said “Albinos have blue eyes”. Cisco corrected you. All you had to do was admit to your mistake and then move on. I really don’t understand why it all degenerated to the point where a Pit thread was necessary.

“Albinos have blue eyes” is not the same as “All albinos have blue eyes.” The two sentences mean different things.

The first can, in some contexts, be interpreted as “Some very few albinos have blue eyes.” In other contexts it can be interpreted as “Some very many albinos have blue eyes.” In other contexts it can be interpreted as “Most albinos have blue eyes.” In some contexts, “Typically, albinos have blue eyes.” And in some contexts, “All albinos have blue eyes.”

It has seemed completely obvious to me, from the beginning of that conversation in the other thread, that PerditaX’s utterance (so to speak) of the sentence in question was intended to be interpreted in th second to last sense listed above. “Albinos typically have blue eyes.”

I am prepared, if necessary, to explain why it has not only seemed obvious to me that this is what her utterance meant, but also why it should seem obvious to anyone that this is what her utterance meant.

But I don’t think anyone probably wants to go into that. Nor do I.

Look, I just thought it was funny when Cisco asked me to start a thread so he could pit me. I mean, comeon, that was funny, right? :stuck_out_tongue:
