I don’t normally post in the pit much, but I have been around since dirt was new, so I hope you take my advice. Give it up Struct, you are not winning any friends by fighting this battle, if I were you I would wait until you have something serious to complain about before I would go to these lengths.
Also by attacking Gaudere you are attacking someone who has the reputation of being an extremely level headed and fair mod, you are not going to gain a lot of sympathy by attacking her. If I were you I would read some of the threads in GD and get an idea for what kind of discourse is acceptable there, and check out some of the other forums. Just remember Rule No. 1: Don’t be a jerk and you will be fine.
What the hell are you talking about? I said Tedster was acting like a jerk, then on the next page I said you were acting like a jerk. Neither statement made any reference whatsoever to the poster’s name other than to identify the person I was addressing. Are you mixing me up with someone else in that thread or what?
[absolutely captivated by the mental image of Minty in a Martha Stewart blonde shag, bustling about GD, handcrafting “atheist vs. Fundie” threads out of unraveled burlap from old place mats]
That’s right, Minty, you are a no-account dissembler, dissimulator, lip server, pharisee, Tartuffe, whited sepulcher, pietist, attitudinizer, bluffer, charlatan, faker, four-flusher, fraud, humbug, impostor, masquerader, phony, poser, poseur, pretender, quack, and sham.
You told us you were a lawyer, and now we’re find out you’re an arts ‘n’ crafts maven.
Shame on you.
Kudos to Struct for sussing you out.
…and now we know where all those ugly dirt-color naturally-dyed Easter eggs that were all over the boards yesterday morning came from, don’t we?
Well my fiancee keeps telling me I’m a good enough cook I should open a restaurant. But then again, she still thinks the best thing I’ve ever made is frito pie, which I’m pretty sure Martha Stewart would never approve of. Nope, think I’ll stick with the lawyerin’ for now, thank you very much.

You know, struct, I am sooooooooo much more impressed with you now that you’ve proven yourself not only to be a whiner, but a tattletale as well that can’t take his lumps. Yer winnin’ friends now, boy!
Oh fuck off, grienspace. I could either call him on it in GD or here. I thought here was more appropriate since the entire thread is dedicated to his behavior in that thread. I didn’t even insult him, I just told him: Fuckin’ A, man, STOP!
Cute hard-on you have for me there grienspace. Way to take things out of context.
The fact remains that while Beeblebrox might have offended, he did not make a personal attack.
And if you cannot see the difference, honeybritches, then I pity you. Not because I think you have a small intellect, but because I would find it very limiting to live life in black and white.
You know, I’ve been called “ignorant” outside the Pit. I believe it was in GD. Maybe IMHO. And, no mod jumped to my side.
Turns out the person who called me ignorant (on the subject, I’m sure she meant) was right. But, I really demand restitution, for I had no idea it was a an egregious breach of etiquette at the time.
