I knew you’d never get it. Maybe if you moved further north.

Wow, such knowledge, thank you genius!

_NOW_ I get it, with your expert help. 🙂

The mark of a useless person arguing a useless point, is that they have nothing to offer except anger. 🙂

Aww, I just realized you’re the same mutant that started the cowardly Beckdawrek thread. And you followed me over here to threadshit. Pathetic. :o

I see that thread went over your head too. It’s going to be hard telling you everything 3 or 4 times until you get it, but you possess a special kind of stupid.

Posters who never provide answers in GQ are better than those who provide only incorrect answers. Why not Pit some of those from the latter group?

If I were to pit Davidmich, I’d call out his trite valediction “I look forward to your feedback.” Even “Regards, David” would be a welcome change … and the change would show humor and give credence to the view that David is not a bot.

Septimus, whose aptitude tests were unusable because of low “validity score,” raises his hand.

Septimus (for whom referring to self in 3rd person is one of the _least_ of his problems) raises his hand again.

This pitting was asinine from the beginning, and I’m not surprised to find that when it got revived it was by another asshole. What exactly is your fucking contribution to the board besides stupidity and annoyance?

Y’know, Colibri, there’s a reason you could never moderate the Pit. Because you’re so fucking petty.

You are so not cool in every sense of the word cool.

Get your Tilly hat and go fuck a cactus. Such a tiny little man.

Doofus, he didn’t moderate you. He merely posted his opinion of you. A popular opinion, I might add.

:D:D:D

My my my I had no idea you were so thin skinned.

My irony meter just shattered into a million tiny pieces. Being called petty by someone who decides the most worthwhile thing they can do on the board is to Pit the likes of **davidmich** is like being called stupid by **Clothahump** or crazy by **Starving Artist**.

Really, you have to be a totally pathetic asswipe to bump this thread (which didn’t go that well for the original OP) after two and a half years.

I’m just surprised **Whiskey Dickens** has been around since 2013. Did they used to have a different handle?

I’d say you’ve got to be kidding, but apparently you’re serious. You really think you should be able attack other posters in the Pit, and when they respond to you they’re being petty? You’re not just a stupid asshole, you’re crazy. You’re really making a complete fool of yourself.

Let’s see if you’re petty enough to reply to this…😃

No. Surprisingly, he has over 1,200 posts. Unsurprisingly, you don’t remember any of them. 😉

I’m going to quote one of my previous posts in this thread. Like a schoolyard bully who doesn’t have much going for him, **Whiskey Dickens** thought he could get points by attacking an easy target who wouldn’t fight back. But to punch down, you actually have to have some stature. You can’t do it effectively if you yourself are a non-entity.

For the record, he never left.

While we’re here, I regret any participation I ever had in the first place with this nonsense.

Well, if you do the math, out of the 1,200 posts there were just three _quality_ posts. ☹
