> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > Wow. Looks like I’m getting out-assholed, folks. The King is dead, long live the King. I’m just trying to get you over 600 posts in your pit thread. That and get everyone to stop being so mean to Guin. (Of course the really sad thing is I haven’t been trying to be an asshole at the SD since it’s frowned on. I know I could bring an A game in the right place with the right person.) ---

> [@The\_Second\_Stone](#): > > It’s not against his rules. And you appear to be somewhat disturbed. Frankly I was worried after my awful posts about you that you might hurt yourself. You seem suicidal. Oh, and you may have the honor of pushing RR’s pit over to 13 unlucky pages. What the hell? Suicidal? Mmmmmkay… 😕 I don’t know where the hell you got THAT idea, but if you honestly think I’m going to off myself over you, can we say, “delusions of grandeur?” Again-I don’t NEED you to defend my honor. Kindly go fornicate with yourself. ---

Kindly go fornicate with yourself. Pay him no mind. He’s trying to be nasty by doing a wide-eyed innocent “I’m trying to help you!” act. At least in this thread (and the off board one) people are getting a good look at who he is so they can take his opinions on other threads & matters accordingly. As in, they don’t matter at all. You answering him back is only going to get you more “You seem so disturbed, are you okay?” kind of grade-schoolish nonsense. I have to admit that his sudden alliance with Zoe is hilarious. He can back her up here as she backs him up elsewhere. Water seeks its own level and all of that… ---

More importantly, if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce do they taste more like prunes than rhubarb does? ---

I think that you are an occasional asshole yourself. (We can only occasionally use the word a------) in the Pit. I’d noticed you, you were driving the truck. So I’m having an extra exciting week? What’s your reason for constantly being unpleasant? The words to accurately describe your long-time nasty posting history are listed in post #1 of this thread.

[Restricted language in the Pit - The BBQ Pit - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=508858) Thanks for the list Ed! Cunt is my favorite swear word, so you’re not upsetting me by alluding to me being one Shnookums. I’m more of a bitch than an asshole, truth be told. Reason for being unpleasant? I don’t especially need one, but I usually have nasty things to say to nasty people around here. It’s more for sport than anything else because it’s fun! Of course people like you make it as easy as shooting fish in a barrel, but it amuses me which is all that counts. Still, I’m flattered that you’ve noticed my posting history for a long time. Oh baby, you just can’t get enough of me. ---
