Now that a Pit thread is here, against you, in the Pit: You’re an asshole, shithead, dumbass, imbecile who I think is quite possibly a troll (I haven’t made my mind up just quite yet).

I add everyone as a friend, even if I think they’re an asshat. See: **octopus, Hurricane Ditka** , and **Okrahoma** for other examples of this.

And you? One of the biggest asshats on this board. Asshat. Your opinion is usually wrong, by the way. Yes, opinions can be wrong sometimes. You’ve proven that. Although “opinion” is being nice, because I think you mostly just say shit to try to get reactions and attention and start shit and don’t really hold half of the opinions you say you do.

Also, you do two very-closely related things that are extra fucking annoying: You make threads (that you create, most of the time, although you’ve tried to do this asshole shit in other threads that are not yours, before, too) about yourself, derailing them and then keeping up that derailment by acting stupid when someone (understandably) calls you on your stupid shit…and you also have this annoying habit of replying to every single fucking post in a thread, like it’s gonna make you appear to be any better… like you feel you have to defend yourself against every little point. Defensive much? Or just trying to play people?

Anyway, ahhh, that felt good to get off my chest now that we’re in this forum. You can reply to this if you want. I’m sure you will, just to try to spin stuff into your own deluded form of events or to ask stupid fucking questions that make you think you’re getting a “one up” on someone, but I don’t care, because I’m not gonna read it anyway,…I have absolutely no fucking desire to read anything you write. Ever. Your opinions are all shit. Pure, unadulterated, liquefied shit.  
That’s all.

That is more than enough. I am happy to stand over here and hold your coat and hat for you. I am not worthy. I had not considered how minding a three-year-old like ddoggy dog might be trying on a mod. You have my thanks and sympathy.

So: **Scabby** - you mean like that? 😉

I got suckered into letting a punch land from this chucklehead. I hate that.

I’ve been wondering when somebody would get around to this. I was fervently hoping that the Tom Petty thread would drop off the board without a single reply, and for a while there, it was looking like it might.

It’s not even that his opinions are almost always contrarian; that’d be fine, if he’d present arguments in a reasonable way, without acting the ass. As it is, though, you can rarely get through two sentences of his posts before reading some disparaging shit about anybody with the temerity and good sense to disagree with him.

Some people, I was recently reminded, are only here for the conflict, and need to feel that they’re winning arguments, no matter how. Fuck that shit; life’s too short to be drawn into it. Let them get their asses to 4 chan, or wherever it is that douchebags congregate.

DNFTT.

thank you - and, yes, drad dog is now someone I can just skip over. I’m glad he is getting a pitting and I hope it leaves a mark. 😉 I mean, TP just died and too young: what kind of person choose NOW to start a “he’s overrated” thread? nobody we want to interact with, that’s who.

We have got to keep this thread on the top, just for this. If smug, douchebag troll uses the “New Posts” feature, this should always be there. Anyone who can routinely piss off **Idle Thoughts** that much deserves all the opprobrium directed at them and twice more.

I just had to take a look at a pit thread that got **Wordman** riled up enough to create it.

I figured somebody must either be a very special kind of shithead or he’s so far off base in musical knowledge that he deserved some pain. In this case both.

_…program note…_ **drad dog is in no way related to Bubbadog** as a relative or possibly a species.

Well, it sure leaves a misleading impression, right there on the forum page, about what the rules are.

If I hadn’t bothered opening this thread, I’d assume that ‘fuck you’ was now acceptable in the Pit, because there it is, and nobody’s doing anything about it. Must be legal, then. Especially given that you guys edit thread titles fairly frequently.

I will admit I’ve become a lot less clear on where the lines are here during the past few years than I ever used to be. Same end result as being new, I guess.

Whenever I see that drad dog has posted in a music related thread, I think of King Missile’s “Sensitive Artist”

_I am a sensitive artist.  
Nobody understands me because I am so deep.  
In my work I make allusions to books that nobody else has read,  
 **Music that nobody else has heard,**  
And art that nobody else has seen.  
I can’t help it  
 **Because I am so much more intelligent  
And well-rounded  
Than everyone who surrounds me.**_

When someone says “fuck you” to another poster on here in a post, it’s noted or warned…but the post is not changed or edited, so it stands to reason the same thing would go for a thread title.

The distinction here is that while it still says “Fuck you” on the forum page, there is no note or warning visible there to indicate to others that the poster who said it has stepped over the line.

There’s no note or warning in a post where an offense has occurred, either.

Hey, I’m a magnanimous guy; if “Go Fuck a Cactus” is acceptable and the mods are so inclined, that is a fine way to update the thread title.

But if the mods want this title to stay as a shining beacon of proper rule enforcement, well, I’m certainly supportive of that, too. 😉

I leave it to the experts.

Doesn’t matter. He said it so now he has to live with it and the shame of receiving a mod note for it. Obviously he should have said “Fuck off, you” or “Go fuck Tom Petty’s cactus” but he chose to flout the rules and now there’s no turning back. Erasing this from history would be unfair to all those who live with such reminders of past indiscretions.
