Rather than see you get banned as you again push the rules in GD, I figured I’d start a Pit Thread FOR you…so you can get it all off your chest and have at me. So…this is a Pit Thread that you can use, if you so choose, to have at me.
This is the latest thread we butted heads in, and here is you again skirting (or maybe not if one of our friendly Mods happens to peek in) the rules of the forum:
I’m sure you can do better than ‘arrrogant snotiness’ (and certainly you could use a spell checker to get that part right) here…so have at it. I’m not even going to tell you what I think of your posts in that thread…or even about this latest one and how, well, silly it makes you look.
This is my gift to you gonzo old son…have a blast.
Oh, I wasn’t insulted 'luci. More like amused. But he REALLY seems to have a problem…so I thought, hell, give the boy a chance. I figured this might give him an outlet to blow off some steam at me…without getting himself banned.
To be sure. You get no argument out of me on that Der Trihs.
(I will say though that I’m in a 12 step program to reduce the number of smilies per post…and I’m trying very hard to kick the habit. I can’t do anything about the arrogant snottiness however…)
Sure…understandable. I can’t imagine that The Pit is someplace you would normally chose to hang out in anyway. Got to be a lot of painful memories for you here…
I don’t know, the mods might note your use of rolleyes and laughing at his comment. And I must say this Pitting makes you look pretty chickenshit. Pit him, don’t sit here and wait for him to think up better insults.
And what is so expensive about a robot arm? Compared to excavating and setting up for a normal gas station, anyway. Actually don’t answer that. Google is much more agreeable.
If I wanted to Pit him, I WOULD have Pitted him. After all, I’ve done it before…twice I believe. I’m not expecting anyone to insult him…thats not the point. If you feel the need to insult him, then resurrect one of the old pit threads on him.
I won’t bother answering then. Obviously you didn’t get why it was impractical. Feel free to go over and join the discussion if you feel the need.
sigh You guys are just to smart for me. Obviously the OP doesn’t mean what I said it means.
Well, no. Since its a Pit thread FOR gonzo to use to take out whatever frustrations he’s quite obviously got pent up inside him, it would remain. Had I INTENDED to Pit him…well, I would have done so. As I did the last time.
Well…yeah. Thats fairly obvious. But don’t feel bad…you don’t seem to be alone. Perhaps I’m the only one who understands. Wouldn’t be the first time, the way I write…
It seems to be about as well understood as quantum physics, to be sure.
Your confusion seems to stem from the fact that I didn’t make an argument.
Let me try and mitigate some of the confusion that it seems everyone in this thread so far is laboring under. This isn’t a back handed Pit thread about gonzomax. Its not really intended for the peanut gallery to participate in, though of course that won’t stop you. Its intended for him and him alone…and if he doesn’t show up this thread is a failure (its headed toward ‘train wreck’ as it is). I simply wanted to give him a forum so he could get whatever problem he’s had in the last couple of threads we’ve butted heads in off his chest…if he so chooses.
Its really that simple…which is probably why so many are confused.
Well…close. Closer than anyone else has come thus far. I’m not baiting him…I’m giving him a forum to either yell and scream at me or whatever he wants. So I can figure out what his problem is.
You don’t win the Kewpie doll, but you get the ceramic dog…
Well, xtisme’s being a bigger dick here than gonzo was in the other thread (and even there, the two were running about equal) but it’s location, location, location.
Out of curiosity (and as this thread is obviously neither going anywhere nor what I intended), what comments (beside the one about his lack of understanding with the rolley eyes and the grin smilie…that was intended to be sarcastic) did you think represented me being nearly as big a dick as gonzo was in the other thread? While my posts were no great examples of clarity or perhaps very informative, I didn’t really think I was being a, um, big dick, in that thread. Hard for me to tell…sometimes when I think I’m being funny others think…otherwise.
You’re lack of comprehension is…understandable. You seem to have some confusion yourself… Allow me to explain…Bryan said you’re being a bigger dick here than gonzo was in the other thread.
I see what you’re doing. I was honestly hoping you would take him to task because I think he is by far one of the most annoying posters on this board, just on pure posting style, despite his politics. However, the baiting stuff, I think, while seemingly magnanimous from your point of view, is pretty petty, I think objectively speaking. Though it might be too late, you probably should just pit him; or, is it tacky to take another poster to task when they haven’t really insulted you in the first place? (Like pitting someone for being a hippie liberal). If so, then I would just continue the dickery in GD, it’s always amusing to watch the tension build up. Eventually, a good comment or two will make for good pit fodder (though the Gas prices thread didn’t quite get there).
I’m hilarious every waking moment and everybody thinks otherwise.
As for your GD dickishness (as well as your Pit dickishness), you haven’t yet mastered the whole condescension thing, young grasshopper. Your sarc-fu is weak. Saying flat-out that someone has no understanding of an issue lacks subtlety. Mastery comes from implying it in a manner that makes observers chuckle.
I should point out that this Pitting rebounding back on you has in fact made me chuckle. It’s fairly easy to patronize another user (and downright lazy to make issue of poor spelling); it’s quite another to make a public show of the patronizing by starting a showcase Pit thread and expecting other users to be impressed. The adult thing would’ve been to shrug off a GD disagreement but here we are.
smilies.
