Huh? I don’t get [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=471064) If **Two and a Half Inches of Fun** had put ‘\*Fuck \*Roger Federer’, would it have passed muster? Admittedly, it might have been better in MPSIMS, but I didn’t realise that there is a grading scale for pissedoffness in the pit. ---

[/QUOTE] My feeling about that is not so much that the OP was not “angry” enough as that it just wasn’t detailed enough. The OP could/should have given the reader some indication of exactly _what_ behavior/incident he was pitting, or something like that. **fluiddruid** could certainly come along and tell me I’m wrong (and then I could pit him for it 😉 ), but that’s my impression. ---

[QUOTE=NineToTheSky] I didn’t realise that there is a grading scale for pissedoffness in the pit. [/QUOTE] Well, there is, actually. From the [Pit FAQ.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=365973) > [@](#): > > **Rants which are genuine but simply too tepid or mundane for the Pit will be moved or closed** “Tepid” pretty much describes it. Plus, annoying lack of detail–I would have had to Google Federer to find out who he is, and make an educated guess at what act in particular so moved the OP to open a thread about it. I still don’t know. And, I don’t care–if the OP can’t be bothered to give any details about what exactly he’s pissed off about, then I can’t be bothered to traipse around filling in the blanks for him, either. ---
