And now he’s asking for [hugs](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=173408) in MPSIMS. _snort_

Ok, this isn’t fun any more. Can the Pittee ask the mods to close a thread? 😃

I think that this is a textbook case of everybody pounding on the pitter because he’s got the IQ of a melted popsicle. I mean seriously **Machine** , your post was the equivalent of “Hey you! Loser! You post too much!”. And then, after all sorts of mindless comments that make no sense, you begin to claim that you were being sarcastic. Am I the only one who thinks you’re a :wally?

Hey **Q.E.D.** , while we are here in the pit and all, do you really need to add the sig to every fucking post? “Which was to be Demonstrated” Got it, great. Thanks, latin lesson is over for today. You son of a bitch. I don’t want your pitting to be in vain.

There! Now _that’s_ a Pitting!

_ahem_

Yes, I must add my sig to every single fucking post, you goat-felching son of an asshat’s fucktard donkey. If you don’t like it, you can shove straight up your ass with an electric cattle prod.

There, I feel cleansed, now. ;j

With a post like this, he stays. (Can I be the first to beg to use it as a sig? I promise I won’t use it every time I post! :p)

I **do** need a new sig, though. I must admit I’m getting tired of this one myself. Any suggestions?

_Pssst! Hey **Q.E.D.** , buddy!_ Woe though it pains me to say this… umm… well, that would be about **2** months, 3 weeks, give or take, would it not?

I saw that, and wondered what he was thinking. Did he somehow have the impression he was popular? I’d already seen this thread, but couldn’t think of any appropriate response to the childish and pathetic attempt at pitting you. As you said, there weren’t any salient points to counter, or I probably would have done so. As it was, I didn’t think it was going to last more than 5 or 6 posts, but I underestimated the number of people he’d annoyed. And, now he’s whining that people don’t like him. And, I _still_ don’t know what he has against _you._

Okay, **Q.E.D.** Just give me a moment here and I’ll unveil my new sig.

However, I do want to note that the mods have said that it’s preferable to use one’s sig only [once per thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=119264), if one uses a sig line at all.

**Davebear** , I’ll bet it’s [url=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=171102]this thread\*\*. He was being an idiot then, and I lit into him pretty good. Heh.

**Lel** , no one pointed that out to me before. Thanks. 🙂

How about; Can blow a **MachineHead** gasket in a single post!

Or,

Soooooo…I need to go look for the threads in which **MachineHead** pits **2trew, Ogre, AwSnappity, Venoma, Smeghead, desertrat, Tony Montana, Ferret Herder, spooje, Jack Batty, cuauhtemoc, and carrot** , too? I don’t think I have that much time.

D’oh! :smack: I just got it! _That’s_ why he’s whining about you posting so much! It’s because you nailed him so many times.
