Ed Said

Whose motorcycle is this?

It’s a chopper baby.

Whose chopper is this?

It’s Ed’s.

Who’s Ed?

Ed Said, baby, Ed Said. *Sorry, I couldn’t resist[/I}

This is a brief collection of Ed Zotti’s responses to our questions. I’m not defending the man. I’ll go as far as saying that** He’s lost the respect of most of the SDMB members and should step down.** That said, the “He won’t answer us.” meme has reached a fever pitch. We’ve been told that a clarification on the Pit Rules will be forth coming, after the weekend. In the interest of Fighting Ignorance I offer a collection of what Ed has Said.

So, that’s the last few things he has said. Settle down, relax, refine your arguments, stock up on ammunition; I don’t care. I wanted to Fight my own Ignorance on this and I thought I would share.It seems that there is room for consensus and, as the smoke clears we can, collectively, come to a place that we can live with (if not be happy about). I will, humbly, suggest that the tone of the pit since the Rule change is not very different and there has not been a blizzard of Warnings and Bannings. Please don’t kill me. :slight_smile:

I’m standing down at this point. I’m not willing to stack arms just yet, but Ed is showing signs of coming around. At least he’s talking to us, and apparently listening. See the assholes and dicks thread.

I feel much better now that the lines of communication are open.

Q

I just wanted to point out, that I love that all the redirects and links are going to that particularly named thread. It just makes it all a bit more surreal.
If the Straight Dope ever creates a Magna Carta set of rules and hammers it out, is it going to from the Assholes and Dicks Thread. However shall we reference such a monumental and useful thread? The AaDT? It just makes me think of the monologue from Team America

I appreciate the ironic humour of the Rules being hammered out in “The Assholes and Dicks Thread”.

Didja have to say “hammered” :wink:

** chacoguy420**–I think your approach lacks something.

And that, from the least tactful person on the SDMB!
