**Xploder and RedFury** , sitting in a tree… No, forget it, I remember what happened last time I posted like that. ---

It just means that our world viewpoints are not the same and neither is the way that we react to them. Bow out? I’ve been here fourteen months longer than you and this is **my** first pitting! I also second your request to **lib** but seeing that he’s suspended I don’t think ya gotta worry about that too much. ---

With apologies to **RedFury** and **Xploder** for the continued hijack. Damn! And on preview - **Liberal** ’s been suspended, but he can still read, plus I had a reply ready for the other thread and it got closed dammit! > [@Liberal](#): > > Effective? What effect? Can you point to people who were vicious before but are now contrite? RedFury? Xploder? Uvula? Yourself? Maybe if I had thought it would make a difference, I would have screamed it from the rooftops, rather than remark about it offhand to Wring. I mentioned it to someone whom I thought might give a shit, who was genuinely inquiring about why I had resolved to stop caring about what you people think. I told him. The usual suspects grabbed it, blew it up into mountainous proportions that I don’t believe it deserves, and are even pitting me for it. The only possible benefit to me is that your continued sniping appears even more third-gradish than before. The undecideds can see you for what you are. > [@TVeblen](#): > > I finally locked the thread because the whole dreary mess had already ground on for ten bloody pages. Biggirl’s original point was long gone. It was a bitchfest about Lib and nothing more. It was heated, on both sides, so it was predictable as sunrise that it would crop right back up in a new Pit thread. See? No censorship, no stifling peoples’ ability to speak their minds. Just a clean slate to do it on, with Lib as the specified subject and without War and Peace to wade through. > > **IMO, Lib’s announcement of impending death ratched this whole unlovely mess onto a different level, and was an obvious signal to close the old thread.** \*bolding mine I think this would be the effect that is being referred to. You have over 23, 000 posts and are really claiming that “you mentioned it to **wring** ”? You didn’t realize that _everyone else_ could read that as well? I think not. And take your medication you doorknob. Now back to the **RedFury** and **Xploder** fun time variety hour. Oh and just so it’s not a complete hijack - you two should be ashamed of … um … oh let’s say: having the temerity to post your convictions. For Shaaaaame. Nah, that’d be lame. 😉 ---

**VegemiteMoose** , it is unseemly to bash a person who cannot defend himself. I felt a void; posting that somehow filled it. ---

Part of the reason I stopped replying to **Liberal** is he brought out the worst in me. And my worst can be pretty bad. Seems I’m not alone in that department. I figured out I was being manipulated, so I never beat myself up over my poor behavior. I just decided “this isn’t worth it.” I don’t know what to make of **Lib** ’s announcement, but I do know I’d be kept up at nights if I taunted a dying man, no matter how poorly I got along with him. I’ll assume he’s being truthful, to play it safe. I’ll ignore the manner of announcement, because I don’t care anymore about that sort of thing. For your own sakes, wish him good health, and leave this alone. Good health, **Liberal**. Or, at least, may the rest of your shortened days be peaceful. ---

> [@Hentor the Barbarian](#): > > I want multiple threads about me! Well, **Reeder** ’s position is open. 😉 It is, apparently, acceptable to hijack threads all you want since it doesn’t count as being a jerk. So, in a year or two that position will be open, too. There’s many paths to sucess. You Libruls are just too coddled to find them. 😛 -Joe [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/redfury-xploder-shame-on-you/317536.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/redfury-xploder-shame-on-you/317536.md?page=6)
