My first Pit thread & I’m not even sure where it begins or ends.
[Dumb-ass heaps abuse on double amputee Marine for wearing the wrong jersey & hilarity ensues.](https://www.google.com/search?q=Josh+%22Tank%22+Watts&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a)

It should begin with a lot more than just a link. And just to a google search, at that.

It seemed the most efficient way to display the story & the resulting comments about the story.

It’s considered good practice here to tell people what the story is rather than send us off to find it on our own.

Not to “me too” but seriously? I still don’t get what the story is. Bad pitting.

Um… where _does_ it begin?

I thought this was the smart message board.
Take your fucking index finger out of your nose (or ass) & click on the top few links.
Read the story. Read the comments.
That is all.

Wow. So why did the double-amputee vet get the boot (no pun intended) while “Tank” got to stay? If “Tank” is really the bad guy in this story (and not falsely made out to be one simply because the other guy involved is an amputee), why didn’t HE get kicked out too?
ETA: I _did_ only read through the first Google link, so I might not be fully informed…hehe

It appears to be an ongoing cluster-fuck.

No, doing your homework is not my job. Select the one one that best represents your outrage and post a link to it… and give a bit more of a recap.
If not, go fuck a cactus.
That is all.

It is, and you are expected to pull your weight in keeping it that way. And that means posting more than just a link.

Big whoop. An ignorant fat guy with half a Vader helmet. I think it’s easier to pit his girlfriend for fucking the fat mess.

Fuck that. Link to the story that brought this to your attention, and made you want to bring it to ours. That search was posted two hours ago (as this post is being written); there’s no way of knowing if the story you want us to read and comment on is even on the front page of the results, ya dink.

\*bailing out before **Locrian** gets called to task over what the ignorant guy’s weight has to do with his bad character.

Fuck that. If you’re too lazy to do a proper pitting, then we’ll just pile on you, instead, fool.

It’s a shame. This is really a pit worthy story, but the OP fucked it up royally.
Right now I’m not sure who is more unlikable, the OP or ‘Tank’.

I read the first link (it was stupid fuck easy too!) and tank is a level 18 shit head that deserves everything he has coming his way.
