> [@Helena330](#): > > I have to admit, I’m flattered to be considered an old timer! I always figured someone had to be here _at least_ ten years for that designation. (Preens) You can also take pride in the fact that if there were such a thing as a “synchophant”, you would be one. Although maybe the illiterate fuckwit meant “synchrotron”, which is possibly less flattering as no one wants to be compared to a particle accelerator. ---

I’m voting “wouldn’t want to be one”. Sounds like an elephant who does synchronized dancing or something along those lines. 😃 ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > I think several of us have noted, way back when, that this thread really should be renamed as it has expanded to include screw-ball posters as well as trolls. We seem to get quite a few of the former, and this thread serves as a convenient clearing house for both. But I can see where that could cause some confusion. I don’t see anything wrong with renaming it. I bet a mod would be willing to change it. What would we call it? Mini-Pits? ---

Isn’t it interesting how they found their way to this thread with only a vague reference and no link? Do you think there is a secret door, or something? There are only about ten active threads across a very small board with an oddly small number of members. There is no mystery to either the boards or your limited population of active users. You don’t allow fresh ideas or dissenting opinions, you run everyone off. You are a very peculiar clan of online bullies, precisely, the opposite of what I’d expect from a website dedicated to fighting ignorance. More like circle the wagons and defend the ignorance. ---

> [@PCarolinus](#): > > … You don’t allow fresh ideas or dissenting opinions, you run everyone off.… “Fresh ideas” is one of those paradoxical buzzword things, comparable to saying “_I’m so brilliant_”. Great people do not tout their greatness, only wannabes do. If your ideas are so fucking “fresh”, prove it, by providing us with actual “fresh” ideas (bearing in mind that _there is nothing new under the sun_). ---

Hell, then I’d have to explain it to you, then explain the explanation, get you a juice box, then re-explain it to you.

If your ideas are so fucking “fresh”, prove it, by providing us with actual “fresh” ideas (bearing in mind that _there is nothing new under the sun_). So far my fresh idea was to laugh at the idea that having small talk made over your snack qualifies as harassment. I was soundly crucified for disagreeing with your sacred cow. Surely more than one person realizes that wouldn’t fit the definition of harassment in any handbook. Not even the staff at Weight Watchers would support such whining. ---

You were crucified because you are a hapless troll/sock. You choose to be crucified because you were too stupid to stay out of this forum. Anyway, please cross your legs, I have but one nail left.
