> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > Have you read Shakespeare? Seen a play? There are literally college courses taught about the coarseness of Shakespeare. The fact that the double-entendres are escaping you . . . Dude, they aren’t escaping me. I know about them. But the fact that they’re in the form of double-entendres is why they aren’t coarse; they’re subtle and sly and clever. Saying country for cunt is very different from saying, “Jessamine is a cunt.” That’s coarse! (The sword is less mighty than the pen is.) ---

But I figure anyone can call somebody a fucking moron. Personally, I’d rather take the time and write a longer post that presents a clear and compelling argument to everyone who reads it that the person I am referring to is a fucking moron. ---

If **anybody** , no matter how ordinarily eloquent, can get Pitted for being coarse and vulgar in the Pit, then I’m afraid we’ve been letting the Pit forum lapse from its traditional standards. We’re **supposed** to be coarse and vulgar here. Gosh darn it. ---

Yeah, but since the Pit is still the Dope, cites sufficient to indicate fucking moronhood are proper, though not required. Particularly if, as is also the norm, this is to turn into a proper reverse pitting. ---

And, yes, I know I’ve just invited you to piss me off royally. Have at it. ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > This guy got the joke. > > This guy did not. 😃 I guess I didn’t. I was riffing on the characterization of me as never descending to coarse language by reframing a classic coarse dismissal (“Go fuck a duck,”) in gentler, more academic terms. How does your reply work in that context? ---
