Not the clearest OP ever, but what with \*\*Liberal \*\*having explicitly asked \*\*Apos \*\*to take it to the Pit, still appropriate.
Hey, \*\*Liberal \*\*is being a dick again. I, for one, am shocked.

[QUOTE=Aholibah]
From post #34 of [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=420100):
And lest you think he didn’t mean to suggest that he thought **Apos** was thread-shitting, his response to the Mod warning he received, from post #41:
There’s your cite. Now everybody can go back to making fun of **Apos** for his somewhat perplexingly worded OP. But my $0.02 is on **Apos** ’ side on this one. He didn’t tell **Quiddity** what could be discussed in **Lib** ’s thread; he just pointed out that **Quiddity** didn’t seem to _understand_ what was being discussed. For **Lib** to accuse him of being “bold and pretentious” and, incidentally, a hypocrite (for “telling others not to do what you’re doing”) was pretty offensive, IMO.
[/QUOTE]
Oh, okay. Why it took such a long time for a link to the original thread to be forthcoming is something I find difficult to comprehend.
Kind of like I find it difficult to comprehend anyone either badgering someone for an apology, or ignoring a request for one.

[QUOTE=Apos]
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..
[/QUOTE]
You are just plain wrong. Wrong because:
You _were_ thread shitting. Sorry, but see #2 below.
You demanded an apology more than once. Once is enough. If you come in and ask again, you are being an asshole. As in “jerk”. As in stalker-like jerk. No one is going to give you an apology when you are that big an asshole, and you have to know that, and thus you were thread-shitting and hijacking.
You forgot the obligatory linky-poo here.
And, PITing \*\*Liberal \*\*is so _passe._ 😛

Because it appears to be the order of the day.
I, for one, am surprised that this hasn’t been closed yet.
It certainly doesn’t serve its purpose as a Pitting, it hasn’t backlashed on the OP, so it can’t be said to be open as a lesson to the OP, and nobody’s even said “you eat stupid food for breakfast.”
It seems awfully MPSIMS-y. And I get the feeling that this thread would suck in there, the same way it sucks in here.

For what it’s worth, I probably shouldn’t have asked twice. However, asking someone to address a point raised that they are clearly deliberately ignoring happens all the time in GD, without anyone calling it thread shitting. You, like 99% of the other posters in this thread, just seem to be rooting around for some reason to say “boo” to me. Snore.

Thank you for being the only person to actually spend time posting in this thread, but unlike the others, figure if he was going to spend the time, he/she might as well engage his brain in the effort as well.

I said I BARELY had interest in it.
The reason I have interest in it is that every so often, Liberal decides that he might as well go an admit he was wrong. I’m not sure why he does this, because it rarely has anything to do with logic, and often has a lot more to do with dramatic announcements about some major life change in which he promises to have made a major breakthrough and not be such a dick to everyone.
But on the off chance that he actually admits that he’s wrong because he thinks about his own arguments and realizes that they are in bad faith, here’s his chance to prove it So far, no dice.
