lswote, you are now exhibiting troll behaviour. I suggest that you knock it off posthaste, or you will wind up talking to yourself here. And your threat of “unleashing your acid tongue on a full time basis” is just pathetic. Pathetic. ---

For your information, it’s UF… or did you mean USF? ohhhh… I get it…you meant “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Me and the high horse I rode in on”… Still, I’d rather be accused of riding a horse than being a horse’s ass. ---

Ok **Iswote** let’s end this shall we? TO ALL DOPERS: I extend my apology to **Iswote** for giving him the impression that I was calling him a liar. It was not the intention on my part. I was merely stating an opinion and that opinion has upset him. I do not know him IRL so I have no way of knowing his true nature. I did not appreciate his treatment of another doper, and I reacted to that emotion. My post to him started out with ‘seems’ and my definition of honesty in that post is not what he determines the definition of honesty. A mistake on my part. This should put an end to the misunderstanding. ---

Unfortunately, this is not in the Pit, so I cannot state my opinion with appropriate clarity (though I wouldn’t be surprised if this thread is Pit-bound pretty damn soon). Anyway, my advice to you, lwsote, is drop the subject, _immediately_, because it is becoming tiresome and each additional thing you say is annoying people further. (Oh, and concrete, old timers post in the pit and get flamed for it regularly – see, if you must, the Exprix/Flinx/peaches8 chaos going on there now, or the response that the poster formerly known as johnnyharvard got on his attempted flame of Nacho4Sara. However, most folks with some experience on the boards have figured what types of posts will just get them slapped silly and avoid those. Anyone going into the pit does so at their own risk.) ---

Thread closed by request of the OP … what the hell, it was about to go back to the Pit anyway. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-learned-an-expensive-lesson-yesterday/19429.md?page=1)
