It’d be even sicker if the Sooper Genius could spell “namesake”.

Nobody has me on a leash. You’re ruining one of my favorite movies for me right this minute. Don’t even mention a glove. Just. Don’t.

Nobody said that it was, oh small-brained, boneless, sea creature.

Anyone who disagrees with you is an “in group”? You’re in high school! :eek: Deep breaths little dude. If you can get through the next few years, you’re gonna be fine. Probably. I mean it usually works out. You get to college and there’s usually _somebody_ to hang out with. It explains a lot really. Just cool it on the “kids” stuff.

The only people around here who require ideological purity and are likely to fall in line for a purge are Trump followers. Read some history, you mouth-breathing buffoon. (It’s Robespierre, by the way. Spelling is hard. I’m here to help.)

It’s interesting you have such strong feelings about an event that occurred six years before you joined.

I think it’s weird that people use flounce as an insult when it’s evidently so common.

And you make it seem like the internet doesn’t have hyperlinks and search. Your implication is silly by the way. I wasn’t born in 100 B.C. but I can research ancient Rome and Egypt.

This board has been surprisingly lucky to get so many completely brand new posters with such an avid interest in its history.

Ah, people complain when there is no lurking to observe board culture and people complain when people read a bit about the board and the infamous members within.

You know an artist that can help me with that animated avatar? You all have animated avatars yet?

Well, I’ve got a tap on the mod-loop, and they’re currently considering a grand bargain where Giraffe takes octopus and they’ll kick in the animated avatar.

I’d get that shit upfront if I were you, they’ll probably just put it on the IT guy’s to-do list.

So what?

You expect people to be cyber bullied in the Pit and not respond? You bullies don’t like it when people don’t roll over and beg mercy? Get over yourself you melting little weirdo.

You can’t have it both ways. You can’t have a place where people get abuse heaped on them and expect those people not to respond. BigT gets bullied relentlessly in the Pit. His name is like the Fenris-Signal. I get harassed and stalked relentlessly in the Pit.

I refuse to be victimized, even verbally, by you misanthropic losers. I’m using this particular forum as the rules, as they are, dictate. Many others don’t even follow the rules of the forum and heap MORE abuse on their targets than the administrator has requested. On what grounds would I be banned from posting in the Pit? You really are not very bright. You are emotional and you are lashing out and that’s Sad!

Anyways, I eagerly await another of your spittle flecked rants.
