If someone says something you don’t like. put 'em in The Pit. Right. Only the OP should be allowed to put a thread there. Them guys are _mean_. I’m going back to MPSIMS where people are _nice_. And you all can bite me. Peace, mangeorge ---

[looks over [the thread you should have linked to](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=477929)] You think _that_ was mean? Brusque, maybe. Grow a thicker skin. ---

You know the difference between a blog and a message board right? Message boards bite back. ---

Isn’t it a fine old SDMB **Tradition** to pit people for saying something you don’t like in another forum? The upside of that, of course, is that this is precisely because they’re not allowed to derail the real thread with the same shit. That and no one makes you visit the pit or read the threads. Frankly, I’d rather that more message boards operate on the same principle. ---

Doesn’t my post seem a little, uh, joshy? Should I have used a winky 😉 ? No joshing in The Pit, eh. Sorry! ---

The “students are unemployed” line doesn’t work for me as social critique or as humor. :shrugs: ---
