> [@So, who's on your ignore list?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-whos-on-your-ignore-list/487371/218): > > Ditto. The worst part of the new rules is that it limits what people can say about me. I find being flamed highly amusing, but apparently you have to hang out in GD or otherwise be a complete and utter dipshit to get pitted. _shrug_ And thus I have my victim. You’re a moron, Mss. Giirl You really are a idiot. You’re as fucking stupid as Bush. You’re as charming as a telemarketer. Mss. Giirl You are a smelly idiot with a blunt dirty sock reek You’re a mouth-breathing cretin, Mss. Giirl Your head’s an empty hole. Your brain is full of spammers, You’ve got arsenic in your undies. Mss. Giirl You must come from a long and illustrious line of inbreeding to have achieved the present state of mental capacity of a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole. You’re a fucking idiot one, Mss. Giirl You have The Veiw on your TV dial. You’re not as intelligent as God made “special” granite Mss. Giirl Given the choice between the two of you I’d trust the special granite. You’re a stupid idiot one, Mss. Giirl You’re a dumb, numb flunk. Your medi-chart is full of colon cleansing Your mp3 player is full of Celine Dion. Mss. Giirl The three words that best describe you, are, and I quote: “Flink. flank. flunk.” You’re a dumb idiot, Mss. Giirl You’re acting fucking retarded. Your part’s a 3rd rate extra on a 4th rate B-movie, Mss. Giirl oh and You were dropped on the head as a small child, weren’t you? (It’d take a smarter person then me to work that one in there, and apologies if you actually do watch the View) **Gadarene** and **Silver Tyger Girl** get the cred for the insults from another thread (some modified a bit to fit, ya’ll need to learn to ryhmn better) but implementing them was my own choice and idea. The poem is parody of “you’re a mean one Mr Grinch” from “How the Grinch stole Christmas” by Dr. Suess and since it doesn’t take the place of said work marketing wise (At least I hope people won’t read this post to their kids at Christmas) it should be legal under fair use doctrine for parody. Mods, in the interests of clarity if I’m warned or banned please be so kind to quote and bold, or italicize, or otherwise distinguish the parts that crossed the line from the rest of it. ---

Well, you clearly ain’t **Cervaise**. And I don’t particularly like you, so have a **Gfactor** sanctioned “Screw You” just for grins. Only things that seem questionable to me are the “fucking retarded” and the crack about being the product of inbreeding. Slamming somebody’s family is not cool in my book. That said, you didn’t call her a cunt or insult Planned Parenthood. Arguably a parody of the Grinch song is somewhat creative. I’d say no warning or banning under any sane application of the current insane rules. In actual practice, who the fuck knows? Edit: You might get some lame ass “This isn’t a real pitting, so naughty naughty” deal. ---

I had Thurl in my head singing it even before you ID’d your song- it was fun. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > Only things that seem questionable to me are the “fucking retarded” and the crack about being the product of inbreeding. Slamming somebody’s family is not cool in my book. Why would “fucking retarded” be questionable? Today’s clues had more to do with sex/non-sex (keep reading that thread–there was more clarification later–the sex/non-sex distinction may not hold up for long): > [@Of assholes and dicks](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/of-assholes-and-dicks/487697/14): > > One is sexual and one isn’t. I was trying to limit the Bad Words list to a small number. If you’d rather, though, we can include the whole laundry list of words like asshole, bitch, shithead, and so on. Other than not having a rule at all, I’m open to different ways to do this. Maybe we should just have a list of Bad Words you can’t direct at another poster, while of course retaining a rule against unspecified “hateful remarks,” to cover the rare case of one of those comments that makes you gasp but doesn’t use any of the proscribed words. How’s that? > [@Oakminster](#): > > Edit: You might get some lame ass “This isn’t a real pitting, so naughty naughty” deal. Well yeah, but that’s just true. It doesn’t have any heat behind it regardless of how I read it. ---

How many of those lines actually scan at all? That’s the clever part of a parody: making it singable. ---

> [@Heffalump\_and\_Roo](#): > > Why would “fucking retarded” be questionable? . Your guess is as good as mine. That just seemed to be the closest thing to being objectionable in the OP. I don’t think it is an actual problem, but then again, I don’t think there was anything wrong with the pit. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > Your guess is as good as mine. That just seemed to be the closest thing to being objectionable in the OP. I don’t think it is an actual problem, but then again, I don’t think there was anything wrong with the pit. Well I threw in insults from the lists in Ed’s ABTM thread on the rules changes. That were never approved/disapproved. On the side ain’t it crazy how the new pit rules unite almost everybody? I was even rooting for **Shodan** earlier. Truely interesting times. ---
