Those expressions are not to be leveled at other posters. As I recall, the mods have clarified that we can say those sorts of things to/about other people, and use fuck as a sexual verb in the Pit. ---

Who is the other poster it’s directed at? Looks to me like it’s directed at Congress people. ---

That isn’t “fuck you”; especially since you don’t have one. ---

Maybe you should read it a seventh time. As a matter of fact, I just wrote letters to my Congresswoman/Senators and told them that if they didn’t raise your taxes, **I’d fuck them in the ass with your dick.** That’s just NASTY. ---

Yes but it doesn’t violate the “fuck you” rule. ---

So, lemme get this straight–a total bullshit post about a letter that never existed to hypothetical members of Congress threatening them all with forcible anal rape using a dick you do not actually possess is what trips your light fantastic? Congrats, those sensitivity courses must be paying off bigtime! Oh, and also… BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAA! OMG. **wipes tear** ---

To my knowledge, The Pit has never had a “no nasty!” rule. I agree with the general sentiment here – I don’t see any type of “fuck you” to you. The post gets a pass, IMO, because it doesn’t violate the rule. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pit-rules-revisited/504289.md?page=2)
