> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by RexDart \*So what are you so offended about? I’ll take **Guin** ’s assessment that this **WSLer** is Mr. Negative on it’s face, but I don’t see any personal animus in those three remarks sufficient to inspire a pitting. Were there worse examples you simply failed to include? \*\* This whole thing started in the Beatles’ thread. I could have easily dismissed the No. 9 comment. In the Greg the Bunny rant, It should have been obvious I knew about the FOX scheduling. In the loud cars thread, why not post something generally dissing the entire thread? Why not something like, “I don’t like loud cars, especially at two in the morning”? WSLer is obviously someone with, and I hate to use new age vernacular, “issues”. ---

My only beef is that I’m not sure why you felt you had to go into a [Star Wars discussion thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=135923) simply to tell the people within to get a life. Did you suddenly flash back to high school and get the urge to go mess with the nerd table in the cafeteria to amuse your cool friends? (fixed Lego’s coding. – Uke) ---

Hmmm when the vast majority of the posters call you out, maybe, just maybe you might be- wrong? Unless your the Fonz, just admit your wrong and move on. Unless you like the attention of course. :rolleyes: ---

From what I read in your OP, Blue, WSLers comments don’t seem particularly offensive. Sarcastic, yes, but you can’t be a fan of Unca Cece and not appreciate sarcasm. ---

If you \*are \* referring to me, let me point something out to you. According to the latest tally, here are currently 25,497 registered users/posters on the SDMB. Of those 25,487, a **grand total** of 8 _called me out_ which is nowhere even in the same hemisphere as **the vast majority of posters**. Unless, of course, you happen to be living in some type of Bizzaro universe. And how exactly in these instances, could I be wrong, if in one of them I’m asking a question which was directly related to a previous post? (I’m referring to the loud cars thingee.)

IMHO, As someone who’s noticed some of his posts and read the 3 original and 2 added questionable ones, I don’t think WSLer was doing anything even close to trolling. One thing I notice about the pit rants I’ve read: Members almost always come down on the _side_ of the person who as the higher post count. (Which, I guess, is to be expected). In this thread, so far only PunditLisa & RexDart, (who both happen to have less total posts than the OP) have avoided “pile-on in the pit” mentality. ---

Oh yes, as far as I know there was **no** nerd table in the cafeteria when I was in high school. This is because the “nerds” would spend lunch either in the library or in the computer lab. ---

Apparently you either have a not-so nice habit of taking things out of context, or you make up an entirely _new_ and unrelated context for them. Neither of those is a very good idea, but hey, display your ignorance all you want, just don’t try and tar me with it. I _blew up at Bryan Ekers_ for a very descernible reason, which I stated in rather large letters, to wit: He was putting words in my mouth, which is one of the major no-no’s of this message board, according to to the note the admin put up. But gee, guess what, if you have a certain number of posts, you can do whatever the fuck you want, and the hell with the _rules_. How nice.:rolleyes: Now as for _blowing up at my dad because he has a social life_, gee how much worse can you utterly misconstrue a post? Oh wait, you did it on purpose, right? Uh-huh. As for leaving my potty mouth in the Pit, why the hell should I? Other posters swear in MPSIMS, Cafe Society, and In My Humble Opinion. Who the fuck are you to tell me what I can and can’t say? You aren’t a moderator so blow. As for _leaving my issues at home_, again, who the fuck are you to tell me what I can and can’t post. You have less then no authority in this matter, except as some yaboo who has more posts then I do, which you think entitles you to boss me around. OH PLEASE. The Pit is all about people having _issues_ with someone or something. ---

Nice links, Miller. Perhaps WSLer isn’t a full-blown troll (make your own joke here), but he’s well on his way. I don’t know how old he is (or care), but he needs to get on the maturity track soon. There’s a huge difference between being child-like and childish. ---

As far as Pit strategy goes **WSLer** , I’ve got to rank your responses right up their with the Germans turning their flanks to the French in WWI. You might very well snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. This thread really didn’t have legs. But your responses have been simply . . . I’m searching for words here. I hadn’t noticed your posts until now and I’m sure you don’t know me from Adam. I’m not trying to “pile on” but I will suggest that you ratchet it down a little bit. Some of the links are unflattering, but you’re not helping your cause here. ---

Cheap dimestore hood? What am I, a Damon Runyon character? What a bizarre and ineffectual insult. By the way, you forgot to try and justify half of the posts I linked to. Care to try and explain your behavior towards **bouv** and **Darkprince**? At any rate, I stand by my interpretation of the two posts you bothered to adress, and eagerly anticipate your attempts to spin the other two to your favor. See if you can do it without whining about “post count.” Really, no one but you cares. And who am I to tell you what to post? I’m just one of the legion of posters who’s sick of your childish tantrums and petty attacks against people who haven’t done a damn thing to you. It’s getting really fucking tired; find a new shtick, preferably far, far away from these boards. ---

**Miller** , “Suck my fat one, you cheap dimestore hood” is from the movie _Stand by Me_. Gordie says it to Ace when he (Gordie), pulls the gun on everyone, because Ace brought up Gordie’s dead brother. It’s in the novella the book was based on as well. It’s Stephen King. ---

**WSLer** , just take a deep breath and leave this thread alone for a day or two, try to come back with some new perspective. Everyone else, is taunting this guy really worth it? A couple quick points, though: > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by **WSLer** _ > This is The Pit.
