Nobody appreciates me around here. Sometimes I just feel like saying, “Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all.”

So it turns out that Ed Zotti is 15 years old. Who would have guessed? And just when it looked like the lauguage was cleaning up a bit?

Tuba, please move this thread to the pit. I thought you guys made rules for this sort of thing.

David B, you shuld get together with Ed for a new forum - just for whining.

All these new ED ZOTTI threads don’t go into the pit- they get locked & the user banned. Wasn’t that a rule- no ripping-off other users’ screen names?

I’m sorry, I don’t get it. Is this the real Ed Zotti, or an Ed Zotti clone, or an Ed Zotti sock puppet, or Melin reincarnated as Ed Zotti, or Mrs. Zotti taking this opportunity to vent her jealousy of the SDMB, or what?

From the way the subject line sounded, I was all set to make consoling remarks to a bloody-yet-unbowed, retiring-with-honors moderator. “Eddie, we hardly knew ye…” Etc.

So that’s not what this is? He’s not quitting? 😕

Are you allowed to take somebody else’s nick by capitalizing it or adding asterisks or something? Dibs on “Arnold”, if that’s the case.
