I’m serious. And make it as harsh and as witty as possible. The only rule is, you have to actually like, or respect the person you’re insulting (and please keep it to the people on the SDMB, no politician bashing and the like).
So, as an example, **gobear** it seems like the only 2 things you are behind 100% are gay rights and other men. Why can’t you argue for something else, goddammit.
Or
Hey, **Cecil Adams** , why not come down from high up in Castle Numbskull more than twice a year to deign to talk to the moron peasants. You know, the ones who coughed up 5 bucks just to pay for you to make your fat ass fatter.
Those are kinda weak, but I have faith in the people here to make better ones.
Have at.

Ooh, ooh, I got one!
Hey, **The Llama** , you dumbass, why don’t you read [the forum rules](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=127729)?

> 1. No fake pittings. If you pit someone, you’re supposed to mean it. This doesn’t mean the pitting can’t be funny.
> 2. No pit threads specifically to expand one’s repertoire of insults.

Fuuuuuck. But that’s not exactly what I meant. If the mods want to delete this, that’s cool, but I wanted it to be funny. Not like, your momma’s so fat, etc. That’s why I wanted it to be about people you had no real problem with.
Regardless, that was awesome, **LHOD**.

Actually that’s the _exact_ problem.

You should probably e-mail Lynn pronto and beg for forgivness in a big hurry.

Glad you took it in the spirit I meant it; I was afraid you’d be offended.
And my apologies to the mods; I know I should’ve reported it instead of responding, but I’ve reported two posts in as many days and am starting to feel like quite the tattletale.

And I was so hoping that GaWd would show up here.
I emailed the big cheese to delete it. So just tell me how much of an idiot I am til they get rid of this thread.

We should probably just let it die.
I also realize that posting to it to say we should let it die is ironic.

Ironic, schmironic, **World Eater** – anyone who posts here before **Lynn** slays it is a freakin’ moron.
Oh, wait…

Well, so much for my post.

Overheard in the public restroom: “That’ll leave a skidmark all the way to the treatment plant!”
