Not only stupid, but incoherent as well. I do not think, once people actually figure out what you’re pitting, that this will go as you imagine it will. And I can’t believe it took you five whole minutes to actually get to the Pit and type out THIS post. Good lord… ---

…wow, you don’t understand satire at all. Which would be fine, except that you had to go and announce it to the world. Which would also be fine, except you used your ignorance as the basis to call out another poster who was actually stating your beliefs, only more eloquently than you ever could. In short, your vitriol is exceeded only by your stupidity. ---

That’s it, you’re go on my “Idiots whose posts I skip” list. Everything I’ve read from you has been idiotic blather. There are only a handful of such posters here, so you’re in rarified air. So be proud, you’ve stood out, made your mark. ---

OP: So your idea of a useful and productive post to win friends and influence people is to excrete an incoherent bunch of words like constipated pigeon droppings on a freshly washed car, force the curious to waste time finding out what the hell you’re talking about, and then make them regret that they’ve wasted their time? Doesn’t work. Though it seems to have inspired several to invoke the “ignore” function, so there’s that. ---

I agree with the OP. **Ethilrist** is clearly a dumbass. They should be[pink _and_ blue](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Transgender_Pride_flag.svg/2000px-Transgender_Pride_flag.svg.png) triangles. ---

Ethilrist made a “Modest Proposal-” style… err… proposal. It was funny. This yahoo decided to prove Poe’s Law, and started his own look-at-me thread. …this ensued. ---

Yep. It was meant as a (pointed) joke, and is easy to understand that way. The OP should have linked; that was a dumb oversight that **running coach** had to fix. (Thanks, **coach**!

Leave his goat alone. Vodka, 60s music, and admitting that you’re wrong are all good things. Getting it on with consenting goats is a different matter, but I’m a forgiver, not a judge. ---
