How sad can you get!?
The healing power of silly is the whole point of the forum. Nobody Pits a MPSIMS thread, its like playing kitten baseball.
Mmm, kitten baseball. All that mewling and squeaking…
That’s almost as sad as vandalizing Wikipedia for fun. Almost.
To be honest, they stop making noises after the first pitch.
Then it’s just sad.
Are you calling behavior on a message board of which you participate in lame? Oh bugger off.
Your definition of “participate in” is rather loose, there, isn’t it?
Don’t see what you’re all complaining about, I was considerate enough to put this in the pit and refrained from posting in the thread.
w/o comment about the lameness of the OP itself, this comment isn’t exactly ok, either - after all, isn’t one of the major functions of the pit to call out lame behavior we see at the dope? (including, oddly enough, calling the op itself, lame)
Sure, it’s a lame thread but it’s in MPSIMS and that’s where lame threads go. Given that it’s in MPSIMS and it’s clearly labeled, why do you even care? Just don’t read it. I sure as hell didn’t other than the quick glance that I took when I clicked on your link.
Speaking of lame OPs, this one certainly qualifies. A blind link and a nearly contentless slam? You call that a Pit rant? Why is it sad? Why shouldn’t it be here? What exactly is your problem with it? A little more effort would be appreciated.
As you say, the comment you reference, lame though it is, is in fact viable. Therefore your comment on the comment is lame too. This spirals the legitimacy one more time, making my comment on your lame comment on the lameness of criticism of the OP, legitimate. Albeit probably quite lame.
BTW, in UK vernacular “sad” means sort of “lame”.
That’s pretty lame. Why can’t y’all just speak English?
Saddo.
Does that mean lamer or lamest? 
What’s lame is your absolute butchery of the rules of grammar in an attempt to sound intelligent.
There is some shit up with which I will not put!
Now, now, Winston, put down that trowel and have a cigar to calm your nerves.
Or looking for “good vTech jokes” or “hacking a sky box” or asking a mod to ban you or …
The linked thread (which I hadn’t even opened until your OP) doesn’t seem all that different from any number of MPSIMS threads. Care to clue us in about what exactly about this one set you off? Or are you waiting for others to write your pitting for you?
We had a couple of those, actually.
