Sorry, you can’t Pit another poster and then have the thread locked when it doesn’t go the way you want.

I didn’t get the impression that this was a pitting of hajario. There was no mention of his name in the title, no name-calling, no whinging. Rilchiam used his post as an example. It certainly fit the bill. I don’t think anyone can deny the truth to the statement.
And yet again, Giraffe comes across as a total asshole. At least he’s consistent.
Actually, kambuckta, what set me off was haj framing it as “the next time you live through something more traumatic.” Guess again. There’s a lot I don’t talk about on here.
I’d just like to state for the record that I don’t have the slightest clue about any other Dopers’ living arrangements, and I really couldn’t care less.
I didn’t have any idea about Rilchiam’s prior living arrangements, so I’ll admit it, I did some searching.

Really, people. A few years ago, I was cracking up laughing at a certain meltdown in the Pit, and when I showed the thread to Mr. Rilch, he shrugged and said, “That’s what happens when you make the board your life.” Earlier this week, we had a poster leave in a rage because one person didn’t like him. We’ve got pittings, and pittings about pittings, and pittings about those pittings. Interaction here should not be so bloody crucial.

And I can’t be the only one who finds Rilchiam’s sig a bit ironic:
How about just, “the next time you live through something a few clicks more traumatic than having to live at your mother-in-law’s for a few weeks, let’s see how rational your first thought is.” Same brutal message without the horrible implications of mooching.
Two things Rilch: 1.) I understand the need to defend oneself in the face of not understanding how it’s coming across, while there still being nothing to hide nor a guilty conscience at work. However, sometimes you’ve just got to cut your losses and say inwardly that you won’t give a fuck. 2.) Anyone that can remember a particular Doper’s circumstances from two years ago, without that person being the perennial One Trick Pony, there were other issues of annoyances involved and that said opinion will not be held by everyone. Certainly not even a small minority and definitely isn’t important. Your reputation I’m sure is intact unruffled and you can post forth assuming you’re the better egg.
