I might start a separate Pit thread for your sake if you provoke me, Clotha, but I don’t see how it’s worth the trouble. RikWriter is a pebble in my shoe. You are something I might absently scrape off the sole.
It would seem most people have treated your OP the same, scraping it off their shoe and moving on. Weak.
I think that is because Rik has ostentatiously declined to take up the gauntlet (he gives his reasons, such as they are, here) and I guess nobody else is quite as annoyed by him as I am. So it goes. But I still hold out some hope he will mend his wayward ways.
Yeah, I understand that. I don’t have a beef with any of you three. I’ve never understood why a Pittee won’t show up, unless it’s just a designed pile-on. Which this doesn’t appear to be.
Rik, get on in here and get this settled before Clothahump and BrainGlutton start in on each other. I like 3-ways as much as the next guy, but this instance is about as appealing as clown porn.
Tentacle clown porn.
Hentai tentacle clown porn. And we really don’t need that.
Speak for yourself.
Oh JesusGodAlmighty. Clothahump, go ahead and take him out. This bastard must pay!!! 
You’d be better served to just skip over RikWriter’s droolings. I’ve known him for several years at other boards, and he’s the same worthless pile of shit on every board.
This is his hallmark on every board at which I’ve ever encountered him. He apparently believes that his adoption of a brusque, dismissive tone is all that is necessary to brand his posts as fact.
When you see his name, go on to the next post. The douchebag never has anything worthwhile to say anyway.
You’re wrong.
OK, not really. I just couldn’t resist. Well, I could have, but I chose not to.
Actually, I only mentioned Clothahump because he also is well-known around here for unsupported drive-by posts. But at least he does it in GD!
Well, yeah, I knew that. But that damn clown porn deal, somebody has to pay. And pay now! 
Awright, awright, let’s do it. In the CS thread Clothahump posted the following:
Well, as I explained there, Clotha, I’m not using you as a “boogeyman” but as a bad example, for reasons I’ve already explained in this thread.
And really, Clotha, how is any Doper to know whether you are ever right? Like Rik, you post audacious assertions but you won’t debate them.
For my part, I rarely back down from a challenge. And I think I can say, without fear of (reasonable or supportable) contradiction, that I am one of the most fair-minded, circumspect, and intellectually honest posters on this Board. I’ve got Dopecred to burn, Mister! What’ve you got?!
The gauntlet is thrown.
Nope, not if you are gonna lie about Kerry’s vote on Gulf War I.
After starting this stupid-ass thread? Hardly.
Regards,
Shodan
I like you, BG and think you add a lot to this board. I have no real beef with you, so I won’t get into just how fair-minded and intellectually honest you are, but circumspect? You are anything but circumspect, my friend. Have you looked up the definition of that word lately? 
Actually, I’m not known for that; I wonder how you got the idea that I am. I got piled on once because I made a post, then had to go out of town for a couple of days and did not hit the Dope while I was gone. But when I got back on, I did go back into that thread and follow up.
Hang on, I’m busy checking that site out…
Pardon me while I laugh my ass off at that one, considering this lame thread that you started. And considering that, as I mentioned, you’ve dragged me into two threads with your inanity. You tried that lame-ass copout about using me as a “bad example”, but that ain’t gonna fly, bucko. That was just plain rudeness on your part, BG, along the lines of something that one would expect from a five year old, not someone with supposed “Dopecred to burn”.
IIRC, it means “looking at things from all sides.” Which I obsessively-compulsively do. (One reason why I’ll never succeed in politics.)
In that particular instance, Shodan, I told the truth and you lied. I never said Kerry didn’t vote against the AUMF, I only pointed out his stated reasons, which in no wise justified the construction you put upon the action.
I am not the first to say so, Clotha. Do a Pit search.
