Led Zeppelin is overrated

I don’t feel bad about holding it, though.

Just pointless. Thought I’d share an effective way of creating an MPSIMS thread that was fundamentally based on a subjective aesthetic opinion. Turns out that I wasn’t doing that.

I suespect the reason is because there isn’t any way to craft a thread fundamentally based on a subjective aesthetic opinion in such a way that it will be suitable for MPSIMS. Lesson learned.

Actually, it was a parody of another poster’s thread and could be seen as holding the poster up for ridicule. Those generally get moved to the Pit, since it’s the place to ridicule other members.

@Senegoid

Waitaminnit… Somebody remind me: What was the rationale for the rule that parody threads go in the Pit?

@Colibri

That’s the case when a parody of a thread by another poster (or the comments of other posters in such a thread). Because you are basically ridiculing other posters, it properly goes in the Pit. (It’s also why a link is required, so people know what is going on.)

Other kinds of parodies don’t need to go in the Pit. They would probably go in MPSIMS (or if a literary work could go in Cafe Society).

(I am reminded of this classic parody thread (The Marmite Horror) that was posted in the Pit.)

[QUOTE=Colibri]
Just because it was a parody of Lovecraft doesn’t mean it needed to go in the Pit. I would guess it was put in the Pit because the OP was Pitting Marmite.
