> [@EastUmpqua](#): > > I hope everyone gets that this is just entertainment. Actual intellectual discussions about topics belong in threads outside the Pit. This is wrong, as several others have said. The Pit can be vicious, it can be nonsensical, it can be funny, but it can also lead to serious discussions. The serious discussions often occur when someone is pitted, then comes in to defend themselves on some substantive issue, and off we go. It’s the same kind of intellectual discussion as anywhere else on the board, but with insults! And there’s no extra cost! ---

> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > WHAT!?! I’ve been paying $3/month for Pit access! Fool! Degenerate moron! Congenital imbecile! None of the previous three observations cost me a cent! There is naturally a monthly cost for access to this exclusive domain. What I obviously meant was that in this domain, insults are free. There is no pay-to-insult policy. ---

@k9bfriender This is what I remember from the tipping thread. I don’t think you represented this accurately. He either didn’t understand that, or really didn’t want to understand that, and went on to misrepresent me several time before I gave up. By “dragging” him to the pit, I asked in the “troll’s” thread _if_ anyone else felt I was being trolled. He followed me to that thread to complain about being dragged to the pit.
