I Pit The Pit

The BBQ Pit
1

I know rules have changed and we all have to play nice with each other and thus The Pit would inevitably get watered down. Such is life.

But what the fuck is wrong with this place? People come and bitch about ABC or D and it’s like they’re grousing about the weather. It used to be that when you pitted someone or something you fucking meant it and everyone knew it. And then everyone could tell you that you’re 100% right and here’s why whatever truly licks bag or they could tell you that you’re fucked. Fair game, fun for all.

But now what deserves a bat get a nerf ball.

And what is with the rational and reasonable discourse? Is this GQ or GD? No it’s the fucking Pit. There is no place for reason and sure as fuck no place for calling for cites. You wanna do that shit? Fuck off to GQ or GD!

Really, how fucking hard is that?

If we, as a group, decide that the Pit, within the restrictions set by TPTB, should return to the joyfully nasty cesspool that it was we can reclaim it.

As it stands I recommend renaming it The Cotton Swab - 'cuz that’s about as rough as it gets now.

Fuck the new Pit, bring back the old! <–within the restrictions as set by TPTB

Does this belong in the pit?

Because, as a pitting, it’s pretty lame.

3

Horseshit.

And furthermore - horseshit!

4

So, this is what you came up with during your keyboard sabbatical?

5

No, in fact I wrote a quite erudite treatise on the Machiavellian Tendencies Of Urban Gopher Populations.

This was just an aside.

You’re pitting The Pit?!? Nobody ever pits The Pit!

Of course I’ve also heard that fools seldom differ.Well fuck me!

Not that I imagined I was the first, but I’d hoped I wasn’t the 15th.

At least i’m in good company, “Great minds think alike” and all that.

By all means, pat yourself on the back.

Looking forward to your next flash of brilliance.

I don’t think I was. In fact I was kind of sort of making fun of myself. You know, self-deprecation, that sort of thing.

As for my next flash of brilliance I am pleased to say that you likely won’t have to wait long.

I’m like a strobe light. Annoying. :smiley:

10

Well, please don’t hurry it along on our account. Let it stew for a good decade or two.

11

I still don’t get the idea that the only way for the Pit (or any message board, for that matter) to be worthwhile, there have to be absolutely no (or minimal) restrictions on behavior. It’s come up time and time again, and it just strikes me as… not silly, but head-shaking, anyway.

12

Simply because there are many different forums here for reasoned discussion. The purpose of the pit was (at least it seemed to me) a place for unmitigated vitriol. This is the place where the gloves came off.

That’s all.

Inner Stickler Love you too bunnykins.

13

Maybe we should rename it?

The Warming Drawer

The Sunroom

The Heated Pool

14

Easy-Bake Oven?

15

Can we have a day in which all rules are suspended? That might be fun

16

Yeah!

17

Didn’t we already have that? When the SDMB was down for maintenance?

18

That never happened.

19

Fuck off asshole!

Is that better?

20

I don’t think that’s allowed either. :frowning:

That was a sad cocksucking motherfucking cuntlappery of a cunty day when the rules changed. That day can go fuck itself.
