I mean, Majormd just commented, DavidB says he’s going to hide behind us in case ol’ Newt comes after him in Springfield…“You are sweet, kind, and considerate… Like a grown up boy scout with tits!” - Brian, aka SDMB’s one and only Satan.
No need to rise up, Falcon. You MPSIMSers are quite revolting enough.
Good thing this is the Pit

Sue, I’m the one who used “mindless” rather than “mundane.” (I have also done it previously and may do it again–fully realizing that I post there, too.)
I wondered if anyone else had noticed that Newton had collected so much info on so many people. Scylla noted this as I did. Seems to me that perhaps that thread is meant in all honesty as just getting to know people, but it could be misused. Seeing as how these boards are suddenly forcing people into violent acts I again ask, “Is the board making trolls come here because it is a source of violence and anger right now, essential ingredients to trolls?”
I mean Sheesh Opal was ready to kill herself, Newton Et al want to kill DavidB, and we are standing by watching. Not good.
Trollpuppet:
AFAIC, Newton did not have any significant amount of IRL information on any members of this board except for himself and (possibly) a few of his IRL friends. Now, Phaedrus did claim to have IRL information about several people on the board- Gaudere, but he was flat out wrong. He either didnt have the information he was pretending, or he had it factually incorrect.
Now, OTOH, Newton COULD have had IRL information about DavidB, because David chooses to put self-identifying information in his profile, such that if Newton were really as dangerous and deranged as he appeared to be, David might actually face IRL danger. IMHO, Newton is not a serious threat. I hope for David’s sake that I am not wrong.
Opalcat needs IRL help. She is investing way too much of her self-esteem in the opinions of people on bulletin boards, people who, for all extents and purposes, don’t exist. But I do not believe the board is responsible for her investment, and should not be considered liable. No, I don’t think this forum is generating anger or hatred to breed trolls. For one thing, the Pit has been here a lot longer than this particular batch of trolls.
For crying out loud, this is the PIT! It is DESIGNED to be a place for insults, flames, profanity, etc. If you are of a personality type which is traumatized by such material, STAY OUT OF THE PIT! How complicated is that?

“There’s always a bigger fish.”
I was just kidding.
Chill. Or I might have to nominate the both of you as “Poster Who Takes Everything Too Seriously.” (Or whatever the superlative of that statement would happen to be).
The IQ of a group is equal to the IQ of the dumbest member divided by the number of people in the group.
Okay.
You were this far from being nominated.
Consider this the luckiest break of your life.
Um, Rousseau, what were you “just kidding” about?
I’m confused.
On page six, the good Captain put in his two cents about the free email issue, and I made a joke about it, forgetting for a moment that my tone doesn’t always come through on this newfangled computer thingermabober.

Go almost to the bottom of Page 6 and read what Commander Fortune said and Rousseau’s sarcastic response and how CF and WallyM7 responded.

Yet another simulpost brought to you by the SDMB!

I exist, I do! Pinch me. You’ll see.

“There’s always a bigger fish.”
Wow.
I’m a figment.
Does this mean I don’t have to file a 1040 this year?
Sure, go right ahead. And then explain to the IRS that somebody you met on a message board told you it was okay. They can do a SS# search on ‘Felice’ or even ‘Felice Barimen’… and then they’ll tell you that no such person exists. See? For all of your practical purposes, I don’t exist. And vice-versa.
Isn’t about time that the board software start showing the hours, minute, AND second of the posting instead of just the hour and minute?
David, couldn’t you have used the nerf bat? Or at least hit me where the bruises don’t show. And aren’t you banned yet?
Whew! I made it. For a while there, about halfway through page five, I didn’t think I had the strength to go on. But I read this whole damned thread. And now I have nothing to add to it, except to revel in my own accomplishment.
Too many freaks – not enough circuses . . .
If I throw a stick, will you go away?
