> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Er… because the snarkpit is off-board? Ummm, I acknowledged that. But saying this was “from off board” once he added the GED crack doesn’t make sense. Only that part was “from off board”, unless QED and leander are having dust ups on the snarkpit that I’m not aware of. ---

[QUOTE=CarnalK] Oh? The nickname came from the snarkpit, perhaps, but do you think that means anything in regards to leander’s obvious peeve with QED? What else about it do you suppose was brought “from off board”? [/quote] I thought I smelled something. Welcome back to the boards, **CarnalK**. I don’t know how we got by without your drama queening, cataloging of everything that offended you and the steady trickle of nitpicking, but I’m glad all is again well. Please don’t leave us pining again. I don’t think I could take it. ---

What else about it do you suppose was brought “from off board”? I mean he clearly got the combination of cracks from off board. That is exactly what I wrote I believe. I believe he got his peave here on the dope if that is what you are asking. ---

I see lots of ire in this thread, but so far it is rather unfocused. So, in case I do not have time available to check back in, I would like to preemptively pile on to whoever ultimately becomes the main target. Thank you for your consideration. ---

I don’t know, why did no one like that kid in elementary school that was always the first to shoot his hand up with an “I know! I know the answer!”, remind the teacher that we have a quiz and smelled vaguely of milk? I know that the ego soothing answer is that everyone was envious of that kids intellect, but I am not so sure that is true. No, I think that there are some deeper atavistic issues at play here. I think that it has something to do with the fact that the behavior is so over the top and that so much effort and energy seem to go into it that it positively reeks of compensating for some other deep issues. That we can just see the outline of those issues through all of the compensation and bullshitting and feel that we should do some culling for the good of the tribe. ---
