I didn’t see a rule about calling Zotti a pussy though, so I’m living dangerously and doing it again.

I doubt that someone whose chosen title is **Gormless Weenie** is going to be terribly distressed by that. 😉

The rule as **Miller** interprets it is “fuck off and die” is against the rules because it can be construed as wishing death against another poster. He will let a simple “fuck off,” as in “go away,” go without a comment.

Yeah, but what he did wasn’t entirely unreasonable, doncha know. Ask Ditka. But anyways, I’m gonna be soooper nit picky here and point out it wasn’t diesel fuel. It was [ammonium nitrate and nitromethane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh#Oklahoma_City_bombing).

It’s not your fault. the motherfucking rules change, just like the weather does.  
Sometimes some of those rules should just fuck off.

What are the odds that ausqb is NOT a sock?

Could it be more obvious?

2 posts, straight the pit “middle finger” thread. Yeah, I buy that happening by somebody who has just found the message board.

Give him a break. He’s trying to make the Pit a safe space for **octopus**.

What are **you** doing to raise the bar of gentility and decorum in the Pit?

1. I thought it was quite clear that Delicious’ post was satire, and that its aim was to mock the people standing in the way of stronger gun control laws. In this case, given the inherently controversial nature of the topic, the Pit was probably the appropriate place for it, but I am puzzled that it is apparently a general principle that the Pit is the place for satire. I mean, if I want to write something poking gentle fun at, say, the new superhero movie, wouldn’t that be more of a Cafe Society thing?

2. Happy to see Steve Manon gone so quickly. I thought he was going to be one of those posters who are clearly trolls but who hang around forever like crusty turds on the side of the toilet bowl because they never directly insult other posters outside the Pit. Good job, mods.
