I generally disapprove of omnibus Pit threads, but rather than starting a new one, just had to get the one off my chest -

> Why? I don’t agree with everything he is saying, but what did he say that was so bad that you don’t even want him to post there? Put him on ignore. Just because he doesn’t fall in line with the holy scripture as given by God to the members of this board doesn’t mean his opinions are not worth reading.

So fine, overall I agree with the sentiment about ignoring a poster, if a poster is just too off putting to respond to, and you don’t want to see their rants filling the screen, put them on ignore. I’ve done it, it’s easy, but of course there are people who want to continue to fight the good fight, or to track serial dishonesty.

But for the sake of all that is holy, how does he get off on saying this after spending over a dozen posts saying that the Pit is too much?!?!? If you don’t like it, freaking mute it, as was said at least 10 times in the damn thread? Can you not take your own damn advice? If it’s good enough for a poster, it’s good enough for a forum.

As for the second line, well, other than being called out on the damn potshots (and dismissing it in the most cavalier manner), he sure seems to feel that no one else is capable of forming their own opinions, they just follow the pack. Which is . . . insulting regardless of how he attempts to dismiss it as categorizing ‘groups’.

I’m not calling you names UV, I’m addressing what you are, a hypocrite.
