This isn’t worth a pitting at all, should have been an utterly trivial matter to resolve. It barely interests me, I see a high likelihood that you’ll declare it doesn’t interest you in the slightest, and most people should probably strangle themselves before reading another pit thread about you: you’ve had way more than your share of attention over the years. But, hey, you asked for it.
And besides: I know you are always out for an opportunity to find yourself humble and gracious, so here’s your chance: instead of being a dick, you could have just admitted that you have made a mistake, retracted, and moved on without incident. Instead, you used the opportunity to shit in your OWN thread, and then whine that I had done so.
Even more silly, you first make an accusation of thread shitting (in GD of all places, where the accusation makes the least sense) in a vile form, and then when warned not to do it, you take that occasion to just do it again, louder this time, apparently with the same disdain for the moderator that you feel for me.
I didn’t do what you said I did. So don’t be a dick about it. You don’t have to care about my opinions or responses: you can even simmer and sneer in private. But don’t driveby lie about me, and then complain when I object. That’s just pathetic behavior. Possibly the only thing more pathetic is me thinking that bothering to try to get through to you serves any purpose at all.

It’s a REALLY slow work day for me today.
That is all.

If only there was some thread I could reference to for some clarity. Oh woe is me.

Now class, who can tell us why it is wrong to have these two sentences as the heading and first line of a Pitting?

I’ve read a lot of good things from you **Apos**. This isn’t one of them. If responding to **Liberal** is making you silly or spoiling your time here, stop. If it’s not, respond to him sensibly.

My teacher’s breath smells like final exam.
Speaking of which, I have to leave before “Empire Falls” finishes on HBO.
Can someone spoil it for me?

I dunno: are you really THIS desperate to whine about me? I mean, thinking that Liberal might have some decency left in his posuer-shtick is pretty desperate of ME, I know, but bravo sir, you win. You’re even more pathetic.

I already did respond to him sensibly. He responded with poop jokes. In GD. What exactly am I supposed to do then?
He asked me to start a pit thread, and here it is. Whoo.

I second that emotion. I mean look at what you’re dealing with. You start with **Liberal** and then you get **Sho-bot** and **Scrappy Doo**. What next, you’ll demand from **Starving Artist** a cogent point?
Sure, he contradicted himself in attacking you whilst trying to support someone he sees as a friend, but I’m not sure he merits the attention. I’m sure he likes it, nevertheless.

Here I was, all excited that one of my favorite shows was on again, and instead I’m getting this public access gibberish where the guy’s waving a chicken and a copy of Revelations and screaming about sperm and gravity.

Is this a meta-pitting? Lord knows he does plenty, but once a year or so people get all het up when he doesn’t deserve it. Is there a link?

No one’s said fuck in this thread yet, so I certainly won’t be the one to start the train rolling down Vulgarity Pass…

This sentence is not worth reading.
This one is, though.

Why don’t we make a sticky thread for the Pit as a catch-all for when people get pissed off at **Liberal**? In other words, if the guy bugs everybody, all the time, maybe it’s _your_ fault for still letting him get to you. Well played, **Liberal**.
