Geesh this thread is still at it. The whole point of the thread is have we ran out of things to talk about, not who posts to who how many times and in which threads. At one point, and please correct me Lynn if I’m wrong, it had been agreed upon that posters should try to keep their sig lines to two lines. I remember this topic being discussed about a year ago, so anyone joining after that time wouldn’t know about it. As far as ‘honoring’ friends, what the hell does that have to do with participating in a message board? It’s wonderful that we have all the new people joining, that we are all making new friends. But face it people, we are here to have some fun, discuss some off the wall topics, as well as discuss some very serious issues. We don’t need to know who makes friends with who. I would hope that we would all be friends to a small certain extent. We can sit here in the Pit and debate all this as much as we want, but take a look at the other forums. These people don’t even read the Pit so they have no idea what’s going on. My only concern is that we don’t bog down the board so much that it gets to be tiring waiting for it to open. Now shall we have a group hug or what? ---

I humbly declare that this is the point I’ve been trying to make all along, although I have clearly failed miserably, and got sidetracked enough to totally lose my point. But I tried nonetheless. Group hugs are for wussies. 😛 ---

Yup. Class dismissed. ---

Actually, we must be using two different textbooks, because what I had in mind was more along the lines of: > [@](#): > > Me too! 🙂 or > [@](#): > > Metallica ROCKS! yeah! or > [@](#): > > _ahem_ 😉 I tend to get annoyed by posts that are less than ten words. Posts that simply say “Me too” with no extra information or anything anecdotal infortmation that relates to the OP. And since I was talking about the posts **I** hate, let me make it utterly and undyingly clear that your opinion of my opinion, or anything I type in general, is meaningless to me, and to the discussion. I appreciate the pedestrian attempt to make me look like a hypocrite, though. But since I never defined my idea of a “Me too” post, you have no basis for arguing that I fulfilled it. Class dismissed. :rolleyes: ---

Well, if our opinions of anything you type are meaningless, why did you start this thread & spend so much time discussing in it? ---

sorry nacho…not start the thread (since it’s kelli’s), but the rest of the point still stands… ---

> [@](#): > > Well, if our opinions of anything you type are meaningless, why did you start this thread & spend so much time discussing in it? I didn’t mean everyone. I meant Nymysys. She doesn’t like me; she’s made that clear time and again. And since I specifically targeted “cliques,” and we’ve argued about this before, I figured it was only a matter of time before she put in her HO. I was completely ready to walk away from this thread; it seems to me that everything I was concerned about has been addressed and I’m satisfied. So after this post, I will do the same. I have nothing more to say about the OP, and I refuse to participate in the hijacking of this thread into a flame war. ---

Yeah, well, you are all assholes. Yeah, you all suck. Why? Because you aren’t talking about me. Yeah, that’s the ticket. There’s nothing going on on this board but me and my life and I just can’t believe you are not in here hotly debating the latest issues in my life. Nothing left to talk about? Well, yeah, there is still ME and I’m so hurt. I can’t believe that after a page and a half you haven’t mentioned me. I’m hurt. No, no. Don’t you DARE try to make up for it now. It’s obvious you all suck and never really liked me. It’s all about Wally isn’t it?! STILL! It’s all about him or Coldie or some of Jimmy’s nipples… ah just… blow me! There isn’t anything left for us to talk about except… well… I probably shouldn’t say but… well… did you guys know that CanadianSue is going to have a sex change so that we can be “man” and wife? Oh, so you already knew… than never mind… I guess there isn’t anything left for us to discuss… ☹ ---

Well Byz, ya board 'ho, we already talk about you, but we have to take it to email cause the mods won’t let us talk that dirty on the board. Hey CanidianSue, you can tell Byz all about our plans when you start your new thread that she just blew for ya.
