One is an intelligent, well informed and persuasive poster whose depth and breath of detailed knowledge on a wide range of subjects is really quite impressive; the other is a three-year-old making some nonsensical claim and then stamping his foot and yelling _“Yes it is!”_ or _“No it’s not!”_ over and over and over again in the face of disagreement, apparently under the impression that if he insists loud enough or long enough he is sure to get his way.

Go away and die as soon as possible. I like **Rand Rover** despite disagreeing with just about everything he posts (unless he’s being snarky - then it’s comedy gold). **Diogenes** regularly posts stuff that makes me pound my head against my desk in disbelief; however, his rap was pretty cool (says the white, middle aged wanna-be soccer mom). I also like you **Vinyl Turnip** because you are uber-snarky (including to me) and I appreciate that. Anyhow - this post is only vaguely related to the OP, so I’ll just wrap up by saying I wish **Dio** would shut the fuck up about stupid stuff once and a while, 'cus when he’s not being a huge twat, he posts pretty good stuff. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > > [@MeanOldLady](#): > > > > Fuck off, Rand Rover. > > This violates the language rules for the pit. Please refrain from sexual insults aimed at other posters. No warning issued. What I would like to know is what insults cannot be construed as sexual? Asshole = sexual, I’m sure there’s a website for it eat shit - yep, website for that pussy - I’m sure I can google a website that sexualizes this phrase fuck off- website for this jerk - you mean jerkoff? son of a bitch - well, someone had to fuck for the son to get here butthurt - definite website dickless - obvious shithead - already covered with eat shit motherfucker - all sorts of websites troll - I bet I can find a bunch of weirdos that dress up in troll costumes on the web somewhere. spermburpin’ gutterslut - that was a gimme, I just like saying it. So how is is practical not to have insults without some kind of sexual connotation? How is \*\*fuck off \*\*even a little bit sexual, if the other examples aren’t? I’m not sure MOL really wants him to go off and fuck someone or really thinks he is going to stick his dick in himself (I could be wrong, though). We will be limited to calling each other stupid, idiot, or Rand Rovers (although I am sure I can turn RR into some kind of sex insult). Maybe you should have an **APPROVED INSULT LIST** that we can consult beforehand. ---
