> [@ivn1188](#): > > It’s a place to call out that special poster who is demonstrating the level of idiocy that screams out for telling them exactly what a fucking douchebag they are. > > 1. No one gives a shit about your relative who is a sex offender, the guy who parked in your space, your battle with cancer, that your uncle put his thumb in your butt, or that Glen Beck has said whatever it is that he said this week. To be more precise, people who care about that shit should be hanging out in MPSIMS or GD, where you can share your collective group hug outrage about whatever the issue _du jour_ is, and enjoy the happy glow that comes from basking in the warm glow of a thread full of people agreeing or dogpiling on that one poster who disagrees. > 2. Posting cites? WTF? Go home, you goddamned pansy. Don’t post cites. Cites are for lame-ass pedants who want to prove how right they are and convince others of the error of their ways. That goes in the other forums. > Quit fucking up my board experience with your inane tripe. If you are pitting someone or something that isn’t a poster, post it in Boring Crap That I Feel Like Posting Because I Desperately Crave Attention. . No, that is just one of the functions, and the most trivial. Those are exactly what the PIT is for. Or part thereof. And, cites are always good- well except for those who can’t find any to support their position. (such as the OP) And, I note that you aren’t even a member. In other words, you want us who support the board to post as _you_ say, but you don’t have the balls to put your money where your mouth it. Sad. _Sad,_ and pathetic. Sad, pathetic and _cheap._ Go bother some other board. ---

[Quote=ivn1188] I don’t care. Just like I don’t care about your “pitting” of Republicans or of our government’s ideas about economic theory, or how your neighbor’s kid got murdered and you feel really bad about it. [/Quote] Cripes, if that’s the case I wonder how many words you hemorrhage when you actually do care about something. ---

> [@FinnAgain](#): > > In any case, it’s quite legitimate to point out that by his own admission, the fucker hates posting here. No, actually, I said that I hate people like _you_ posting here. I would point out the irony in that fact that you get all butthurt when I say you should immediately turn in any and all equipment that allows you to use the internet, and then join a monastery that eschews all contact with the outside world (and hopefully take a vow of silence), when you use every opportunity to point out, stalker-like, that I hate the fact that a board I enjoy reading is slowly being taken over by twits like you who can only argue by either a) picking on a single, minor point, and harping on it for 40 posts, or b) calling me stupid, yet you thoughtfully post, over and over, that if I don’t like it I should leave. So, if you hate _my_ posts so much, why the fuck are you reading them? Why don’t _you_ leave (best result), or at the very least stop following me around and throwing in your peanut-gallery wanking? Or at the very least, change your username to “The pot calling the kettle black”. p.s.: I know I am giving you the attention you so desperately crave, but my willpower is just not strong enough to prevent me from picking on such an obvious mental defective. ---

I think you guys are giving the OP too much crap. Some angry rants are better than others. Some have more originality than others. I think that the pit hasn’t lately displayed some of the high-quality anger that it has in the past. The OP could be wrong, but I think that his general view is correct. ---

All I know is, that, by ivn’s own admission, his current post doesn’t belong in the pit. He’s not pitting a bunch of posters. He just complaining about how the board is run. He didn’t name names. He doesn’t even sound that angry. He invites people to say mean things to him. I don’t think he’s a jerk. I don’t even care that he exists. He has absolutely no say on what goes on here, just like the rest of us. So why should I care about his poorly thought out, unintellectual rant? It is useful to the rest of y’all though. If he makes you mad, you now know exactly what to do to get back at him. ---

Oh look, the offenderati showed up to whine about the pit. Again. Shall I call a waaambulance? So hard to not click on a link. So hard to not read a thread after finding out it’s not to your lofty standards. So much time with so little to do. So little attention directed to yourself lately. My heart bleeds for you. If the thread is breaking a rule, use the ‘report’ button like anybody else with at least half a brain, moron.
