> Most people don’t get Pitted, let alone Pitted repeatedly and have many users show up to agree that they’re annoying. My point is not that \*\*Curtis \*\*is necessarily objectively annoying, or even a bad person: simply that he is _more annoying than a lot of posters_. How many people have gone their entire posting histories without being Pitted even once? He must be more annoying than every single one of them, since none of them ever bothered anyone enough for that person to Pit them.

Well a lot of them are low-key people who largely stay out of GD and the BBQ Pit.

Junior, I’ve been spending time in The Pit since your idea of computing was playing with your Speak n Spell … and I don’t think anyone would categorize me as a wallflower.

I ain’t never got me a proper pitting … and it’s not like I haven’t tried. I guess I’m just not annoying enough. Go figure.

I’d assume it would start with some urine in an enema bag.

WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME THINK ABOUT THIS?!

I’ve decided that I hate you today. :mad:

Myself, I’ve pretty much given up trying to figure out the answer to your questions. That sanctimonious little bigot is Exhibit A for why children should not be allowed on the Board. **Curtis** seems more interested in perpetuating ignorance than actually learning anything. His attempt to compile a public poll of everyone who has ever had anything to do with an abortion was particularly disgraceful, but no doubt everyone has their own “favorite” Curtisism. I’ve finally had no choice but to set him on my Ignore list, and good riddance to him.

I used to give him the benefit of the doubt too and accept that he really is just some 13-year-old punk, but I’m leaning more now toward overgrown fanboy goofing around in his mother’s basement. In fact, it would not surprise me if he’s acually a Satanist on a secret mission to turn people off of religion. He certainly makes _me_ happy and very grateful that I’m not a Christian.

He’s not worth starting a new one for. Had to get that off my chest and remembered this one.

Really? You offend me all the time! 😛

I, OTOH, am practically a meek little hamster compared to you and I’ve been pitted at least 4 times. Whether they were “proper” pittings or not is debatable.

I’m on another message board where he does the same thing. My only conclusion is that he finds it entertaining.

Annoying, but hardly the worst poster out there.

Wow, I had forgotten how much I had already posted in this thread. In any case, I reiterate my position that he doesn’t strike me as a troll. Regardless of what his real age is, he’s an extremely immature person, but possibly with some reasonable level of intelligence. He has no interest in fighting ignorance but rather in witnessing as to his personal dogma and figuring out ways to argue around people who disagree with him.

Zombie thread it may be but IMHO it’s important never to miss a chance calling this particular spade a spade in the hope he might just take his act elsewhere.

I’m sure he’ll mature when he turns 15 in a few years from now.

And therefore differs not even slightly from a good many Dopers in GD and the Pit.

Yeah? Maybe you didn’t notice the subject line, but this one is “ **Kimchee Wangdoodle** , what’s with your poopy ass?” Those other jerks can get their own damned threads!
