You were careful to leave the T off that initialism, weren’t you?

LGBT is the usual way to express it; you **really** don’t like transsexuals, but we already knew that.

Guess the little coward ain’t coming back. Maybe he decided he was coming up short on supporters.  
Not even one small bit of agreement.

Poor **andy** , I bet you’re so disappointed. Came all this way in your posting career for your first pitting, and this is all you got. OP needs a ‘too short for this ride’ rule.

In all seriousness, as much as I love the Dope, I’m touched that so many Dopers seem to have positive things to say about me. I love you all too!

See what I mean? The troll only chose such a stupid name so he could bitch at people like me with old eyes for whom the i’s all run together.

every post I make, this guy almost follows me, so he can crow, “you left out an I! You left out an I!”

Awww! You are too cute and we lurve you too. However, I know if this was me, I’d be expecting more. Kinda how on Christmas morning, you hope your grandparents got you the latest electronic gadget, only to find underwear beneath the tree. Sad. ☹

Quoted for emphasis. These things need to be said to and about the OP often and repeatedly.

Congratulations! It’s like being blooded in the hunt, or earning your Heidelberg scar. Too bad the guy in question is such a weakling. It’s like having Webigail Vanderquack trying to stab Captain America with a kitchen knife. The only thing that keeps it from being totally pathetic is how cute it really is.

The Dutch: Threat or Menace? Become part of Americans United to Beat the Dutch! Stop them before they turn all the world’s seas into polders and make us eat cheeses wrapped in red wax. The next tulip you see might be over your own grave!

You don’t pit the low-level muscle. You have to go for the kingpin.

Oh, no you don’t. It doesn’t count when the Pitter is going to have his ass handed to him 100x over in his Pit thread. 🙂

As for the OP… fighting your ignorance is a full time job. **Iiandyiiii** has the patience of Job to take that on!
