Sorry for my part in the hijack. 'Course, the trollish asshole in the white armor shouldn’t have brought it up in the first place.

Technically, “an unmarked site that once housed a septic tank.” “Once housed” implies that it had been removed, assuming the reporter got the information right. A lot of back yards “once housed” a septic tank. The leach fields can run for hundreds of feet - in more than one direction.

Unless the sisters removed the tank and immediately started filling the hole with babies, I’m not sure what mentioning it adds. If the babies had been **in** a septic tank, that would have been not only mentioned, but played on with great outrage.

Full disclosure: my house was built in 1926 and the city laid their sewer lines in 1924. My house never had a septic tank, so my place would be a more respectful place to bury dead babies, apparently.

For the record, I will weigh in with my opinions of these important topics: Dead kids bad. BrainGlutton’s thread starting bad. Skywatcher’s attempted scam (and present lies) bad. Fenris’s obsession with dredging things up constantly bad. Matzo ball soup good.

Yes it is. What **BrainGlutton** has said in the past has nothing to do with whether or not the subject of this thread is worthy of outrage.

And, **Skywalker** , for fuck’s sake, don’t feed the troll. You knew he would do that–that’s how he always responds when he’s attacked. All you had to do was point out that he’d done it again, and that it once again had absolutely no relevance to the thread. There wasn’t even tangential relevance like before.

If you hadn’t responded, I don’t think anyone would have given a crap. Everyone seems to be getting tired of his schtick.

Oh, and **Fenris** , a warning ahead of time. I won’t be responding to you bringing up something from my past, so you might not want to bother. Heck, I won’t come back to this thread since it’s pretty much been hijacked to uselessness. But do what you must.

Yeah, Lute, you clearly attacked Fenris first here by obliquely referencing your bunny scam (which you do a LOT for somebody that wants people to stop bothering him about it, do you get off on the negative attention?)

Shut up, **BigTard**. Don’t you have a masturbation manual to consult? I think you’re still doing it wrong based on some recent posts of yours.

Can we get back to the main topic of this thread, namely **Skywatcher** ’s inventive attempts to part Dopers from their cash? Oh wait, that’s not the main topic.

OK, septic tanks bad, babies should not be placed in them, not dead ones and probably not live ones either. That’s that covered.

Back to **Skywatcher**. I’m impressed. Its almost, send me some cash or the kitten dies. Send me 30 bucks or the bunnies bake. Which cold-hearted bastard could refuse?

OK, back to the main topic. Send me 100 bucks or the cute kid I’m bouncing on my knee is headed for a dip in the nearest cesspool.

They were in a septic tank, it has been mentioned and played on with great outrage here in Ireland.

Yeah, and it’s about time that TPTB call him on his schtick. If a random mention is jerkish, addressing the same sort of crap directly to me has got to be trolling.

Maybe it’s in vain but if everyone is getting tired of his schtick, it’s an opportunity to illustrate how wrong he is.

If my neighbors hadn’t emptied out their septic tank for decades I’d be outraged, too.

Huh? He was mod noted in MPSIMS for something that could be considered jerkish. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, things are different in The Pit. We can even call each other poopyheads in here. If you’ll pardon my language.

Seems to me that deliberately making up crap (savings accounts, trust funds, the entire notion that I grabbed the money the first chance I got, etc.) to illicit a negative response is trolling no matter which forum.
