Seems not a day goes by that our erudite friend, **Ramira** , isn’t a belligerent or condescending asshole. Even when she’s obviously [wrong and inarticulate](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20739767&postcount=201), she seems [constitutionally incapable of admitting](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20739846&postcount=203) she [made a poor analogy and offer a retraction](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20739985&postcount=206). So this little pitting is to thank you for your various contributions and suggest you lighten the fuck up. ---

I approve of this Pitting. High time. ---

She’s too busy being bored to lighten the fuck up. You need to toss something shiny on the ground to distract her. ---

Yeah, I already noticed that and put her on ignore. I had not seen anything really productive out of her. But she needs a mod note or warning for that sort of thing outside the pit. ---

I’ll bet she gets Clobbered by Colibri when he’s sees it. That sounds better than getting Boned by Bone. ---

Because from the first link you posted Ramira firstly absolutely concedes she is wrong, then proceeds to respond to an ad-hominem attack on her which is entirely her right. Post 203 seems like an appropriate response to a very pointed accusation and Post 206 was a snarky response to your snarky question. Based on your OP: can I suggest that maybe its you who needs to lighten the fuck up? Or at the very least put a bit more effort into your pitting? Because this pitting seems lame as fuck. ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > Not my forum (thank God!). [Tag team modding?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20740433&postcount=212) Wonder if she’ll take her bat and ball home. If memory serves, it won’t be the first time. ---

Is there anything more ironic than pitting someone and telling \*\* them\*\* to lighten the fuck up? Ramira is an interesting poster who adds color to the place. You’ve made over 16k posts and I can’t remember a single fucking thing about you, that’s how boring you are. Based on the same thread you felt the need to cite three times, Ramira isn’t the one I’d tell to lighten the fuck up. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > So much for that famous Canadian reputation of being nice, eh? I was once told by a genuine First Nations shaman that my spirit animal was a Canadian goose, one of the crankiest animals known to man. He might have had a point. Unlike this pit thread. Added on Edit: A tip of the hat to that sweet simulpost by Inner Stickler and running coach. They’re right. ---
