In every Pit thread some creatively constipated parrot has to clog the pipes with a rating. They’ll then follow it up with “I can’t dance to it” or some other overly used bilge. It’s not funny anymore. Wait, it never _was_ funny. Pit ratings needs to sail off to Dead SDMB Trends island to die along with his retarded half-brother Og. Oh, and to the person(s) who reply to this OP with a rating: go castrate yourself with your 6th grade English teacher’s teeth. ---

It’s not my kind of beat. Needs more vitriol. And hatred. More spice, if you will. ---

I give it a 7. “Creatively constipated parrot” is funny, but it needs more swear words. Oh, and I can’t dance to it. ---

[/QUOTE] From time to time I get a minor urge just to go through every single pit thread on the page and write, “Nice rant. I give it an 8 out 10. Good vitriol, and excellent usage of fuckwit, but I can’t dance to it,” in the hopes that it dawns on someone somewhere how utterly retarded they sound. Then I realize it’s not really that important. I agree with you 100% **Carnick**. ---

Thanks **Carnick**. You saved me starting this, but I didn’t do so for the inevitable stream of “I give it 7.5” posts. It _was_ funny once. For a couple of days. Then again, so was “Hi Opal!” ---

Actually, I really agree, too. I hate those freakin’ ratings. Someone comes along, genuinely pissed off and spitting bullets and someone just rates it - no comment, no answer, nothing. ---

A new girlfriend once rated a Pitting of mine. I got angry at her, and she yelled back at me. Then I slapped her across the face. Then she left. ---

I agree. You’ll only find the most uncreative of cretins doing the ratings, those bores at a party that laugh at their own jokes while everyone else rolls their eyes. Unfortunately, I don’t think that there’s much we can do about it except for ignore them. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rating-pit-posts/385208.md?page=2)
