Well, that’s easily fixed, we simply appoint him super special Pit moderator with extra special powers to decide what’s worthy of the Pit and what is… On second thought, maybe not. Pretty likely not. Actually, no fucking way. ---

His poor little finger must be all worn out from all that reporting. I’m surprised he could stand the pain long enough to post two threads about his suffering. ---

Are you one of those people who calls everyone you don’t agree with a troll? Do you think the mods (!!!11) are going to get him because he’s not nice? Okay, the guy’s kind of a dick. Big fucking deal. No moderation “death” required. TPTB reserve the right to ban people whose main reason for being here is the Pit. ---

The first post in this thread could be seen as being from someone who puts way too much emphasis on the Pit. 🙂 ---

It’s funny how **ivn1188** acts like he is smarter than everyone else, and yet starts a Pit thread to complain about people who use the forum correctly. He suggests people post it in Great Debates which is CLEARLY and OBVIOUSLY the wrong forum for such discussions. How can someone who is too stupid to understand the function of the separate forums be so smug about it? ---

> [@ivn1188](#): > > 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. Irony Which came first, December 2003 or November 2008? **FinnAgain** was polluting this board with his foul stench at least five years before you started posting here. So he had already taken over the board before you were a gleam in Cecil’s eye. ---

Well, obviously **ivn1188** thinks that he is the center of the universe, since we are all supposed to conform to his idea of what does and does not belong in the Pit. We should all consider ourselves lucky that he has deigned to grace us lowly peasants with the gift of his presence and insight. ---

The best part of the whole mess is the first bit of the OP > [@ivn1188](#): > > Ok, listen up: > > The Pit is a special place. It is just so - Hallmark. I keep expecting it to be more adorable after this opening, like "I’ve come to love the pit, the way it allows me to vent my spleen after a hard day of spouting gibberish, and you guys, you’re just, you’re just not cleaning up after yourselves, and the dishes are in the sink, and, and, it makes me really, really sad, because…well because it is so special, and if we don’t look after it, we’re going to lose it, and that would be tragic. " and then he just starts raving. It is so great. ---
