What Chevy Chase thread? Pit threads are supposed to be all angry and full of relevant links. Now, I gotta search to find WTF the pitter or pittee is supposed to be pissed about.

I may as well get some actual work done.

This is the latest in a series of threads in which two posters are arguing about some stupid grudge and I have no fucking idea why.

We can do better.

Well, maybe if “Joe” was a moderator and had the ability to ban posters for speaking out while preventing others from doing so (or threatening to prevent them from doing so) while he himself spoke out.

I wouldn’t bother calling him a hypocrite, though. Just an asshole, and I would say goodbye to the board in that post and move on.

OK just so everyone is on the same page here: Someone bumped a 6 year old thread about Chevy Chase [Why does everyone (seemingly) hate Chevy Chase? - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=300253) to correct a spelling error in one of the ancient posts.

So \*\*YaraMateo \*\*said:

And then \*\*wheresgeorge04 \*\*said:

Sometime a day or two later \*\*Twickster \*\*opened a thread to share a link to something she thought was cool.

And then this snoozer of a Pit thread was born.

As an aside, during the melee \*\*Colibri \*\*used the term: “_Horny sheath_” and didn’t get so much as a mod note for it!

If you think it might liven things up, I could toss in some more risque terms from ornithology.

Well, now I’m embarrassed. I can’t believe I didn’t check to see if I was mentioned first. I guess I’m just that humble or something. I’m going to flex in front of a mirror and admire my humility.
