Honestly, I’d rather have a hundred Drunkies who post some shit occasionally than a single Octopus who posts a single fuck-arsed post, evah. Dude, you and your brethren have dragged The Dope down into the shitter in the last few years. If you think that’s something to be proud of, then keep up the good fight hero.

The Pit is not your private playground. If there is such a forum and if I’m a target in it, you cannot cry your little crocodile tears when I use it myself. Great Debates and Elections are forums that by there very nature are about arguing. Duh! It’s really not that difficult to comprehend that forums that promote a space to have discussions on contentious issues will be contentious.

> [@octopus](#): > > Ironic. Toxic is stirring drama up for snark. Hypocrit. How have I stirred up drama for GB with my one or two posts in this thread? You do that all on your own. I haven’t posted in the Pit for months. I also haven’t negatively impacted this board with my posting as you have. How come you’re such a coward? You obviously read there, but you’re too afraid to post. Grow a vagina and come on over. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > Stop trying to make Board War happen. It’s not going to happen. He’s too dumb to think of anything else. So he starts squawking about GB. It’s easier to call us “Mean girls” rather than take responsibility for his behavior. I don’t even post in the snark thread there very much. Prior to the last day or so, my last few posts at GB have been about soup, grocery stores, another poster’s poor dog, and Christmas cards. He can’t even get that right. I wasn’t the one to bring it up, but I don’t know if talking about GB is allowed even in the Pit. I’ll stop until I know for sure. ---

Funny thing. I actually just went through that thread and was surprised that the post **Drunky** responded to didn’t seem to be trolling. It seemed more like he was upset about something else at best. But then **octopus** had to go and make this thread. And guess what? **YOU JUST FUCKING MADE IT CLEAR YOU WERE TROLLING.** You’re here pretending to give “advice” while actually attacking someone. That’s trolling. You know he just got suspended, and you’re deliberately trying to piss him off even more. Trying to piss people off is trolling. Plus you claim that the Pit should exist because people shouldn’t be so mean, so, when you use it to insult people, you are hypocritical and thus trolling. Another funny thing: I don’t like **Drunky** all that much, and honestly was not too upset that he got 30 days. But now that I see that you are deliberately trying to piss him off, and the he didn’t get in trouble for any of the actual shitty stuff he does, I find myself sympathizing with him, and thinking the mods need to once again pay attention to which posters actually CAUSE the problems instead of going after the poster who breaks first. Your post actually got me, someone who has **Drunky** on ignore because I think he’s such a bad poster, to be sympathetic to him, and to actually support what he said about wanting you banned. Congrats, **octopus**. ---

Oh shut up. Drunk Smurf went on a rant directly insulting another poster, as far as I’m concerned that poster has every right to respond in kind. No sanctimonious hand wringing is needed. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > He didn’t, though. Instead he posted a cowardly passive-aggressive piece of fakery. No, he just pitted him. Everything else is just waffle. Drunk Smurf called him out in ATMB, Octopus pitted him and that is the story in a nutshell. I know you are all moving through the list one by one and it will soon be Octopus’ turn, but crying because one poster pitted another is weak sauce any day of the week. ---

Please. That’s because you and your fellow racists, misogynists and right wing trolls are so predictable. As you promptly demonstrate with your misogynistic commentary. You cannot imagine how utterly sick I am of your shtick (especially your childish complaints about the Pit and it’s “potty language” while PERMANENTLY posting in the Pit :smack:).
