Joes, since can’t grow a pair and man up. I started a pit thread for you. So, you can tell me (and everyone else) what the fuck your problem is with me. Since, I didn’t do anything to you. ---

Hahaha! Seriously? My first pitting. I feel like a man now. Go back under the bridge, little man. ETA : Read the thread linked in the OP, then the thread about Chevy Chase that was recently unzombified, and all questions will be answered. Not interested in a shouting match, but I will answer any specific questions that I feel like answering. Joe ---

Answer the question at hand. What the hell is up your ass? So, I’m not allowed to complain about someone bringing back an old thread? So, you’re in control of my actions? How come you didn’t bitch at anyone else who complained (and said it was a stupid reason) to bring back a dead thread? FYI, I’m a woman. ---

This pitting is kind of old… It’s a pitting about a comment in a thread about an art exhibit from three years ago. As far as I know, very few (if any) Dopers even read the thread. ---

OG, **wheresgeorge04** , I really wish you hadn’t responded, and had let this piteous excuse for a Pit Thread just ride off the front page. The poor dear is clearly out of her depth, in the umbrage-taking department, and honestly, it’s not like a Pitting is REALLY a badge of honor. :smack: That said, a Pro-Tip for the OP: When you’re going to Pit an individual it’s generally more effective to put the individual’s username, rather than his sign-off name into the title. There’s more than one Doper who signs his posts with “Joe,” and it’s not like your epic feud with **wheresgeorge04** is widely-known enough at this point to allow anybody to get your meaning from context. That is all. ---

I love me some righteous anger, but I don’t understand this pitting even a little. It seems that wheresgeorge posted a link to a pacman skull in a thread about cartoon skeletons, YaraMateo commented immediately afterwards, but apparently in reference to a different post that something was old, wheresgeorge seemed to believe the comment was to him and slightly overreacted, and then Yara accused him of stalking, _even though wheresgeorge had posted in the thread first_. Seriously, very little of this makes any sense at all. Is there some context I’m missing? I was hoping for popcorn. ---
