I pitted this loon last year, now I’m worried that I’m on a list somewhere.

I hate all the Zeldar threads as well (and no, I don’t click on them, just roll my eyes as I scroll past them), however, in general the majority of the respondents ARE Zeldar.  
Just looking at a current thread, there’s 60 posts and 20 are by him. In ‘second place’ is someone with 6 posts.  
When he posts at 6:12 and 6:16 and 7:52 and 8:32 and 8:54 etc all day, he’s the one keep this thread (and the others) current.

Eh, I was more annoyed with **Smapti** ’s greatest hits of X year.

That said, they were wildly popular. So good for him I guess.

I do not understand the busy bodyism of so many posters here. If he is not jumping into the threads that are not his with non-relevant interventions, why do you care?  
Those threads are weird and obsessive, but not anything hateful or objectionable.

Don’t tell me what is objectionable. Maybe if your grandmother had been killed by a poll, you wouldn’t be quite so sanguine.

**Carol Stream** , I think.

(Well, she got banned. In terms of being able to reign as Pit Queen, that’s KINDA like dying.)

Some people don’t have a lot going on in their lives. Like having their own families, or careers, or even their own households to maintain. Take that simmering anger and disappointment, add in a mild annoyance like someone liking something they don’t like, and boom. Pit thread.

I wish I could say “ **ME TOO** ” but **Zeldar** doesn’t bug me particularly. Kinda feels like picking on the odd kid in class for the crime of being the odd kid in the class.

I don’t like his stupid polls either, but I am totally and completely able to ignore them. I don’t really get the drama. Scroll a little faster, bitches.

I am pretty much agnostic about this dispute but I am awarding **Zeldar** full points for this comeback. 🆒 And for the record, _I_ am the Pit Queen.

Personally, I’m amused by the need for the “pre-poll data gathering” threads before the actual poll threads. It’s as if these polls actually meant something and weren’t just completely non-statistical and pointless.
