margin has the self-awareness of a barnacle.

That adds a little perspective.

Instead, try to make it equivalent and relevant.

Ditto that. What the actual fuck?!?

Seems the overcompensation for (justified) feelings of powerlessness and unworthiness are nothing new. Probably drives an unnecessarily-large pickup truck, if you know what I mean.

As has often been said by the suddenly oh-so-concerned hand wringing group in this very thread no one is forced to read the pit.

Look asshole, I don’t agree with much of Margin’s positions as per Bernie, I actually like Bernie. But the foul smelling shit that poured out from Pool is disturbing.

You don’t get this? I doubt it. You’re just trolling. So fuck off now and get back under your bridge you worthless shitstain.

See, the deal is I’m reasonably certain it’s a put-on by a manipulative parasite.

The pit is a disturbing place. That’s the point of its creation. The problem is some animals are more equal than others around here.

Maybe I don’t want to buy pool a beer.

Well I know in general cats are way more equal than Octopi. But tired old allusions to Animal Farm aside. You can strongly disagree with Margin without sinking to the sick level that Pool did.

I don’t disagree with that. But the pit is the pit.

And it’s octopuses.

Being an asshole in The Pit is still being an asshole.

I think pool is just pissed off at life.

I hope he gets over whatever’s eating away at him, and in a way that’s constructive.

Actually, a decade plus ago we had a very long thread proving octopi is still a valid pluralization.

The pit is a pit, but when someone posts something disgusting, the backlash shouldn’t be a surprise. The pit when it works is somewhat self-governing.

Thankfully Miller gets this and moderates well.

Self-governing in this context means mob rule. And capitulating to a mob is never acting well.

Jesus fucking Christ, I only read a sentence, but I hope the cops are digging up his back yard. What THE FUCK.

Who’s asking anyone to capitulate to anything?

It’s “community standards,” not “mob rule.” There’s a difference.

A stupid lie repeated often enough becomes a cliched stupid lie. It doesn’t ever become the truth. You’re entering quarry territory here, dude.

I treat cancer patients for a living. I was a disturbed child but I’m not an attention whore unlike some others I could mention.

And yet, today in this thread, you are seeming to find the death of a cat and the owner’s pain a fun jaunt. Perhaps you haven’t changed so much after all.
