I, for one, would like to stand 100% behind the opinions expressed in the OP, if for no other reason than to screw up his neat little list. ---

[QUOTE=Gadarene] Those are two of my three favorite posters. [/QUOTE] I get the bit about liking **mhendo** and **RickJay** , but what have you got against **whoever else**? ---

I, for one, thought it was quite funny. Then again, I was always entertained by \*\*VCO3[/] and **2.5"er**. ---

You forgot the bit where \*\*WhyNot \*\*posts a post generally agreeing with the OP’s controversial stance, but wording it in a less troll like fashion. From there results are split, with half the threads turning into perfectly functional if heated debates or even kitten stroking MPSIMS fodder as people agree with her (but still not the OP, somehow), and the other half running on with her post completely ignored by everyone. ---

[QUOTE=Marley23] LOL, I no! WTF??! [/QUOTE] Alright, I don’t like posting in here, but I do enjoy reading these things, and I just had to say- that line made me Snort aloud and chuckle. Very well done. Oh, and I was going to say you forgot about **Cervaise** , but I see he’s already commented- I really like his comments actually, if only because they only seem to be one line and then he walks away. It’s well done. Anyways, carry on as usual with the rancor and such, but I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the unexpected laugh, **Marley**. ---

This is a silly thread. Of course people who have been around for a long time have somewhat predictable characteristics. If you’re going to get mad at anyone, get mad at the lurkers who suck up all of our humour and attempts at brilliance and contribute nothing. Bastards. ---

[QUOTE=begbert2] I’ve noticed a trend for people to forget that the Pit is the _place_ for petty whining about small issues that seriously annoy you, and so doing so here is _appropriate_. [/QUOTE] You and me both. ---

C-c-c-c-COMBO BREAKER. Again, Gukumatz performs a dashing thread-sinker heist. I’d also throw in that in a given RO thread, the chances of **Diogenes the Cynic** assuming a retarded position based on misreading is directly proportional to [X -amount of replies] \* [Y -how the thread is related to children/sexual fantasies, where the value of Y is 0 if no relation, 1 if a perfect relation.] [QUOTE=ivan astikov] _God, I’d hate to become predictable!_ [/QUOTE] _crickets_ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pit-thread-trends/461577.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pit-thread-trends/461577.md?page=3)
