I think maybe your outrage meter might need a re-calibration, then. When they come knocking at your door to take you away to the Clockwork Melon Happy Fun Death Camps, don’t go. ---

I think this thread is an asinine idea. If you want to bitch about other board members somewhere they may stumble across but probably won’t, do it in the snarkpit. ---

Why not just pit the guy in the normal way? Why the ‘mini-rants’ thingy? Ah well. My ‘mini-rant’ about another board member (doesn’t deserve it’s own pit thread, since it’s been done once or twice before) would simply be that gonzomax is still an idiot. I suppose it’s not really a big surprise that he didn’t improve any after his month off for bad behavior. Gonzomax…still an idiot. Sun…still rising in the east, still lit (at least as far as 8 minutes ago). Water…still wet. Horses…still being beaten to death… -XT ---

Will there be Death Panels for deciding who gets sent to the Death Camps? Will it be Obama’s fault? ---

> [@pedescribe](#): > > No, I’m fairly confident that talking about rounding people up in death camps is not something one should just toss into a conversation, joking or not. I disagree. As long as you’re not actually in a position to carry out said act (say, El Presidente of a country) or making said comments about either groups who have historically been put in concentration camps or specific individuals, then I don’t see a problem with it. Would you be this outraged if he’d said “We should put all the truly stupid people in [del]Death[/del] Happy Camps”? I bet you wouldn’t. ---

> [@pedescribe](#): > > Really? Because I can see irked, or pitying, but but embarrassment? You think I’m beating myself up over this? This one thread? Or are you under the impression that there’s some sort of delicate etiquette set that’s crucial to the pit? I’m embarrassed for you, because you obviously don’t have the good sense to be embarrassed for yourself. You pit thread is terrible. You are still defending it. You are obviously a lame-ass weeaboo and you’ve just proven how they suck. It’s like defending hipsters; _no one_ admits to being a hipster. You’re just a person with bangs who appreciates bright jackets ironically. Even hipsters hate hipsters, and even the loneliest virgin fapping to Japanimation with his stupid love pillow hates weeaboos. I am sad for you now. ☹ ---

You got gonzo this time? Okay, I’ll take ralph124c. Still an idiot. Still interjecting stupid drive-bys into threads about stuff he doesn’t understand. King of the overly simple solution to the difficult problem. Sun to rise in east etc. ---

> [@pedescribe](#): > > No, I’m fairly confident that talking about rounding people up in death camps is not something one should just toss into a conversation, joking or not. You’re a fucking moron. It’s already been pointed out to you, but I see that it didn’t take. From \*[South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut\*](http://www.subzin.com/s/Did+I+say+%22death+camps): "Canadian-Americans are to report to one of these death camps right away. Did I say “death camps”? I meant happy camps, where you will eat the finest meals, have access to fabulous doctors and exercise regularly. " At this point you must know that it was just a movie reference, yet your panties are still in a wad. You’re pathetic and you’re an idiot. ---
