[QUOTE=askeptic] That’s just not true and you know it. I won’t mention any names since this is Ravenman’s pit, but Dutchy hasn’t cornered the market on density… [/QUOTE] Oh, please be my guest and mention his/her name. It’d be a shame to waste this whole thread without even one well-formed insult of someone. (Comments that are basically blowback on pittings don’t really count in my book.) ---

Were you going to try and chop down the biggest tree in the forest? Or was that a herring…? I was wondering how anyone in their right mind could pit Ravenman. I’d say of all the posters on the 'dope he is about the least likely. But then again…this was about as lame a pitting as I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen some VERY lame pittings) so… -XT ---

I’m not sure what was more bizarre, my getting into a tiff with **Dr. Deth** over whether you could catch herpes from gym equipment, or **grienspace** taking umbrage over the affair based on a pair of hilarious false assumptions.

And if you hate the Dutch that much, why do you still go by that username?
