You know who else hated carriage returns? Hint: He didn’t put people in happy camps!

Just found this thread! Does this mean that I’ve finally been pitted? It’s an honor, really. Unfortunately all the good responses have been taken so I’ll just steal 'em.

I asked a straightforward question in IMHO, and suddenly all sorts of people are offering me unsolicited advice.

Some of the advice is spot-on too. Tanj.

“Finally”?!? My God, you’ve only been here a month! It took me nine years to get Pitted! And even then it was a lame Pitting. {Wanders off grumbling about youngsters these days.}

You never did apologize for your slight against the Aboriginal peoples. You fucking racist. Be glad there’s no room in my Death Camp for you.

Anyone eying your kettle is very likely just marvelling at the physics of how you fit your own head up through your anus. Ehe?

Why on Earth should she apologise? Even if she was actually racist (and I don’t believe she is) then it’s not like saying “Gee, I’m sorry I said something politically incorrect and unpopular” is going to make anyone say “That’s OK, it’s forgotten now. Have a kitten!”

There’s also the possibility that she’s _actually not sorry_ and therefore feels she has nothing to apologise for, too.
