Based on what? Please provide your cites.

For example: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10835588&postcount=53](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10835588&postcount=53)

I think that the value of the pit is that it is a place where one can let loose, including being rude to each other.

What I have is a low opinion of is your closing a poopular thread rather than moving it, your claiming a not-currently-posted pit specific rule applies to all fora, and rather than cleaning up the mess you made, your becoming passive aggressive.

Unfortunately, you now appear to be taking it personally. Please don’t. Do not confuse my low opinion of a particular moderation action by you with my opinon of you. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I wish you the best.
