Ah OK. Nevermind. I just saw this and realized that it probably applies here.
- Esperanto is an invented language without ties to any particular race or culture. Unless you count linguists as a race/culture, but that’s going a bit overboard, IMHO.
- “Japanass” clearly refers to a language, not a race. Come on, now!
- Lick my hairy nutsack, you crazy-ass bitch.

Why is this not a threat? It sure has an unpleasant metaphorical potential.
If it’s because it’s a joke from the Opal thread, why is it not an Opal taunt?
I love opal taunts. I remember once seeing a beautiful broach made with opal and emerald taunts. It was just gorgeous.
Because only 3. Buckeyes is an Opal taunt. It has been so ordained.
You can’t be serious. Is this a whoosh?
Sorry, that can be misinterpreted as a threat. I didn’t mean that I would hire a bodybuilder to throw you over my head so you’d make a whooshing noise.
Assuming you’re serious about all this nonsense, it’s because you and Opal have a similar problem: you need to grow a thicker skin or the big bad Internets is just going to break you down.
If you can’t handle my comparatively mild insults, you should consider selling your computer and spending your newfound free time watching knitting shows on TV.

Because you touch yourself at night.
But that would be pretty cool. How fast do you think you would have to be thrown to make that noise? Choice of clothing might make a difference too.
After last time, Hans’s lawyer has asked me to refrain from discussing the specifics.

Will this thread never die?
10,000+ views on Colibri getting spanked and still it goes on and on…
I think the mods have just abandoned the Pit altogether and they’re off somewhere laughing because they think we haven’t caught on. We can say and do anything because they don’t care.
So let me be the first to say the moderators were cowards and deserve to have a shoe thrown at them. If only they had the guts to show up. Which they don’t.
Honestly, I’m a bit confused. The Pit mods are generally good folks – hell, Giraffe is one of the few mods with a pretty wicked sense of humour – so perhaps they too see that Colibri is a giant pussy who got his ass handed to him and they don’t want to side with such a nutcase (“knife fight”, indeed). Or maybe they’re just sitting on the sidelines waiting for this to run its course.
In any event, I am surprised that Ed hasn’t come back to close this all down.
You know, just because he is being all chickenshit about it, doesn’t mean that he didn’t learn the lesson. So he is not man enough to come in and apologize for the size 14 in his mouth, big deal. As long as he learned that the Pit is not a good place for him to practice his micromanagement skills and leaves it alone, everybody wins.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Not sure that’s true.
I’d guess that he’ll come blustering back in a few weeks or months, banning people over nothing, imposing weird-ass interpretations of time-honored rules and practices, defending some lame-ass Mod for throwing a hissy-fit, etc., and it would be nice to link to his concession here that he fucked up. But since we’re not getting any kind of acknowledgment or concession, I suspect he’s handwaving this entire episode. “Those are not the humiliating authoritarian outbursts you’re looking for.”
Unfortunately for Colibri, there will be no handwaving for him. This was a truly embarrassing bitch slap that we rarely see around here to such a degree. The whole “butthurt knife fight” humiliation will undoubtedly live in Doper infamy.
Hey guys, you “won the thread” on this one. We all seem to agree. But your celebration dance after scoring the touchdown is embarrassing. Act like you’ve been here before. How does continuing to rub his nose in it help? It can’t still be fun. You’ve made your point, let it die.
I think this thread should remain open at least as long as those LOTR or SciFi fanwanks; at least the tards can drool over something that actually happened this time.
Yeah, my point precisely with “let sleeping dogs lie”.
I am done with the original purpose of this thread. This doesn’t mean, however, that you cannot still squeeze some weird stuff from it like the Assperanto-ethnic slur nugget we just had. Threads have lives of their own.
When you screw up and then apologise that´s the end. When you screw up and persist in your mistake by not apologising then, as long as you persist, you deserve to be called on it.
I generally do not get involved in these threads and do not remember why I got involved in this one but there there is a long history here of similar screwups.
I learnt very young that it is easier and more honorable to apologise frankly and profusely than to try to defend the indefensible. Once you apologise it´s over.
Some people are unable to apologise with words but at least they try to make up by buying chocolate or offering a blow job. It´s their way of admitting their mistake. I am not expecting anything of the sort here.
We’ve been in this partcular endzone, Jim, all too often these past few months. The problem is while we’re high-fiving each other and doing our little hotdoggy gimmicks, pointing at each other, standing on our heads, etc., the scoreboard still refuses to register the touchdown. So we’re just having fun until it does.
too much mtaphor?
