What’s up with the pre-rating of rants as in (mild)? Is this done because the OP is humble and doesn’t want to even think he/she can spar with the “not mild” posters? Is it because he/she wants us to know that we can open up the rant while our parents or children are leering over our shoulders? Let the pitizens decide if it’s mild or extra crisy, thankyouverymuch.
Also, I’ve noticed another trend in pitting; i.e., “pitting” seems to have taken on a more sinister meaning than in the past; i.e., posters jockeying over who really “deserves” the pitting or a humble poster over-jusifying a pitting. Can’t I just pit my shower gel or my ham sandwich if I believe I have just cause? Isn’t that the point of our pit? I’m not soliciting a shooting squad for my ham sandwich, just complaining.
