I was finally bored enough to peek in here to see what the fuss was about. What a let-down. I guess I’ll go outside. ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] Well, there was really no more to be said, and I only started the thread because it’s high time **Clothahump** got Pitted. Had to happen sooner or later. Just as **Clothahump** never responds to criticisms of his posts within a given thread, I predict he will not show up in this one. [/QUOTE] Well, BG, you would be wrong. And it wouldn’t be the first time. I don’t post as much on this board as I used to. I have a life. I don’t spend it logged into the SDMB with my sweaty little hands on the keyboard, panting for the chance to make a lame-ass Pit post like you obviously do. Who fucking died and made you king of the fucking SDMB, that you decide that _I_ needed to be pitted because you don’t like the fact that I offer comments on topics? I guess what annoys you is that my comments are for the most part correct, and you can’t handle that for some reason. In closing, since this is The Pit: Fuck you, BG, and the horse you rode in on. ---

**Clothahump** , please refrain from fucking horses in front of the women and children. Thanks. ---

[QUOTE=Clothahump] Who fucking died and made you king of the fucking SDMB, that you decide that _I_ needed to be pitted because you don’t like the fact that I offer comments on topics? [/QUOTE] Good people of the SDMB: let it be known that henceforth any one of you, and not just me, can decide that Clothahump needs to be pitted. ---

[QUOTE=Clothahump] I guess what annoys you is that my comments are for the most part correct, and you can’t handle that for some reason. [/QUOTE] No, what bothers people is that you think the truth of your comments is so evident that you don’t need to provide any argument, evidence, or support in favor of them. That’s what makes them drive-by comments. The fact that you apparently have a direct line to the truth doesn’t exempt you from the norms of this message board–norms such as “Offer evidence for controversial claims,” etc. And if you think you are too good, too smart, too important, or too busy to follow the norms of this board, then **don’t fucking post here**. There are plenty of people on this board who share many opinions with you, and the reason they don’t get pitted is because they realize their positions aren’t self-evident and obvious to any sentient being, and bother to offer arguments in favor of their claims. ---
