Here’s an interesting hypothetical. If our good doctor here were to go and get himself banned for some reason (just make one up here), would inkleberry then be allowed to Pit him, since he’d no longer be a Doper?

THIS is why I shelled out the 7 bucks to post here. I can always count on ETF to give me a laugh attack. Brava!

As for the OP: Fucking lame. How many times do Dr Love Gun & Inkleberry need to be told to STFU already? Jesus Christ! I think other posters have nailed it: their public displays of marital un-bliss are a prerequisite to crazy, dysfunctional make-up sex.

Now, where’s that barfy smilie?

Can’t tell if it’s [puke](http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/ab/barf.txt), or spit-up.

No, I don’t think pitting posters who can’t respond is allowed.

Very creative. But I would never devote that much time to LoveGun or his spending sprees, Inkleberry or her farts, “Tinkleberry’s” penis, or any other shenanigans involving the GunBerry Family.

They way those two go on, I expect it’s only a matter of time before one of them gets their ass banned. When that happens, it’s almost inevitable that the other will immediately go straight into meltdown mode and get banned within 24 hours.

To the OP:

You see the “Log Out” link, in the upper right corner? Just click on that and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Problem solved.

It’s hard to tell how many there are, since everyone’s name seems to be “anonymous”. I guess I was just thinking that there couldn’t be _that_ many people with an interest in cowardly sniping.

Maybe it really is more usefully than it looks. During my brief visit however, I found nothing, nothing at all, other than puerile mockery of people not around to defend themselves. I’m not outraged though. Quite the contrary. It says more about the participants than the objects of ridicule.

You can post anonymously… but _you_ still know who you are and what you are all about. Sadly amusing, as I said earlier.

I wish there was a search function. I don’t think I’ve ever been pitted on here, and I was hoping I might have been pitted on there. ☹

So you want to be pitted, you low density hunk of thermoplastic? You have low molecular weight, and are weekly cross-linked. You couldn’t reach c-stage in a whore house with envelope full of twenties stuffed down your pants.

Sorry son, that’s the best I can do. Come back when you are more interesting.

One thing no one’s mentioned yet…and I think I can speak, because I’ve been the subject of their bitchfests a couple times (that I know of) on the other board.

I don’t really have a problem with that board, anymore anyway. It used to bother me more, but now I figure, different strokes, right? I don’t go there, people do, they bitch about people here, that’s OK I guess. If that’s what they want to do.

But nearly all of the rest of them manage to keep the two boards _seperate_. It’s just you and your wife that keep bringing them up and trying to cause what? a board war? Why? Let them do their thing…be it bitching, or posting useful information that’s not allowed here, or discussing topics not allowed here, and let us do our thing.

The two boards are different. Please, \*keep \* them different. If you just wanted to pit the entire SDMB community, you could have done it without flagrantly breaking the rules, and I know you \*knew \* the rules before you did that, since your wife got smacked down before for doing something similar when she pitted **Evil Captor**.

What exactly is your purpose in constantly dragging them into the limelight?

😃

I should insult people more and lurk less, I suppose. Since I’ve been here for a goodish while, after all…

And I’m a girl. Just for the record. Them bumps aren’t just gi-wrinkles.

Oh, doG, when I was reading this thread, my eyes _completely_ skipped over the quoted bit in Post #77 and saw _only_ this:

**catsix:** I just hope the kid never finds out that his penis was famous from the second he was born.  
\*\*Greywolf73:\*\*And when you only need one, you pull and get 12 of the damned things. I hate that!

Okay, so, let me get this straight. DrLoveGun comes in, says mean things to us and shows proof that other people are saying mean things about us. I have a question:

when does he have time to raise a child, fight with his wife and attend classes at the local middle school?

The anon journals were not set up only to make fun of people but also to discuss topics that can’t be openly discussed here, point out interesting threads, and engage in pointless idiocies. There have been many different anon journals and every time one closes or shuts down another one opens. I doubt the anon journals will die until the straight dope itself dies. Although most of it is incredibly dumb and petty (sometimes in an amusing way), I have found it very useful on occasion.

The sheer hate stuff is kind of dull. Most probably perpetrated by a small number of anonymous people. Other (non hate) criticism posted there can be apt and extremely amusing. For me, snark=/=hate.

The discussion of topics that can’t be discussed here is also useful and interesting.

Then of course there are those that can’t post here any more because they haven’t paid, or have been banned, so anon communities are a way to still participate in some way. I think you’re right in that they won’t die until some time after this place does (if it ever does).
