> [@Zsofia](#): > > Hey, I just went to my ten year college reunion and I really felt like I’d let those great college years pass me by. I never studied abroad (why? I had some dumb reason I don’t even remember!), I didn’t play any sports (anathema to me at the time, but now I realize I’d like to be more active and find some fun activities and it’s hard to learn a sport at age 31), I didn’t do enough activities and make enough friends - I hardly knew ANYBODY there from my class. If I could go back in time I’d absolutely shake myself. And it had nothing to do with drinking or not drinking. I feel ya on that 100%. I wish I could slap the shit out of my lazy, depressed, 21-year-old self and scream, “Just go too school and meet people, you lame asshole! You’ll regret not doing it later!”\* Of course, my lazy, depressed, 21-year-old self would’ve just said, “Whatever,” and gone back to bed. \*Aren’t parents supposed to be saying this stuff to their kids? ---

Are we perhaps trying for longest Pit thread where people actually like the Pittee? It’s almost like the Lost Weekend where we could reverse pit people. 😃 ---

I’m still curious as to what happened to the weed smoker incident. Now I feel kind of bad for saying I’d kick his ass in that thread. In reality I wouldn’t because a.) it’s a friend and I wouldn’t want to lose a friend over that and 2.) I’m kind of a puss. He seems like a good kid. ---

I like the guy, but yeah, I agree. He has admitted to blatant trolling. By the rules of the community, that should be an autoban. ---

> [@Frank](#): > > In my opinion, you should be banned. Why? I can think of at least 2 or 3 trolls who’ve been here longer and actually disrupt threads, but they don’t get banned because they don’t admit what they’re doing. **psxer** doesn’t disrupt threads and is straightforward with what he’s doing. Why whould he be banned when a much more disruptive troll like **Starving artist** is allowed free reign. PsXer is cool. This board is full of rules lawyers. Fuck the rules. ---

> [@Frank](#): > > He’s admitted to copying a post from another message board. Plagiarism may be OK in your book, but it’s not in mine. Yeah, you’re right. We should totally call the police. A stint in Guantanamo will set PsXer straight. Or wait, no, that would be stupid. Maybe what we should do is ban disruptive posters, and let harmless ones alone. But I guess that’s crazy talk. All PsXer did was get a bunch of dopers to go “Grr!Arrgh!” I’d give him a medal, but getting dopers to go “Grr! Arrgh!” is as easy as getting a cat to bat at string. So no medal. But he’s harmless, fessed up to what he did, and is far far from the most annoying troll on this board. And I have to admit, copying someones post from antoher board, while I don’t approve (_scowls furiously_) doesn’t ping my outrage meter. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > I don’t think people like him so much that he’s so bad at being a troll that people actually feel sorry for him. > > He’s certainly not contributing anything. People aren’t just saying they feel sorry for him. You can feel sorry for someone, and still hate them. Nobody seems to hate the guy, and some people seem to actively enjoy him. And I know several posters who have contributed less. PSXer has started topics that people respond to, and, by extension, anything they say that isn’t about him is a contribution he made possible. Furthermore, on the topics he actually likes, we’ve had actual discussions. Oh, and I also want to tell Frank that he’s got a little piece of something just outside his nose…oh, wait, it appears to be coming up through his ass. ---

“Hate” is something too strong for people I generally feel on a message board. I only get even close to hate with 1-3 posters on this board. But I certainly don’t like him. His posts are always so dumb that it makes me pause for a moment just to try to purge my mind of them before moving on. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > He’s certainly not contributing anything. I disagree. I dont think I have ever posted in one of his threads, but his random threads do seem to create a bit of discussion. I personally like reading random threads about twenty year old films, for example, or even the sillier threads that his friend starts. They cause no harm whatsoever. I have no doubt that the mods will eventually ban him, using trolling as an excuse. Why they would bother when they are ignoring the more toxic trolls that are shitting the place up is for them to not bother answering either.
