SS is looking less and less like a real person and more like bad customer service software AOL uses in the guise of “live online help”. ---

I, too, am confused by the fixation on the Central PA dopefest. I don’t understand how it’s any more or less interesting or noteworthy than any other dopefest. **Sally** , if you’re making fun of it just because Robin is involved in organizing it, you’re terribly misguided and further proving your devotion to ignorance. Otherwise, i’d love to hear the reason, especially since i’m coming all the way from Rochester to go to it. Maybe _you_ should come to it, so we can all see if you’re as incoherent in person as you seem to be in writing. You could even show us your precious GED, which is probably written in crayon and signed by your babysitter. I feel bad for everyone who actually has a genuine GED, since your existence only serves to devalue their accomplishments. As an added bonus, we could all point and laugh at you in person if you showed up. ---

What Sally needs to know is that she is just one in an endless chain of nitwits who wander in, scatter a few stupid posts, and then leave (or are banned). You are not “shaking things up,” Sal. You may be a troll, enjoying getting people “riled up,” or “making waves,” but nobody here will remember you in a fortnight, and a half-dozen more SallyStars will have come and gone in that time. Yawn. I would post a “just ignore these nitwits” thread, but I suspect it’s been done before to no avail. ---

> [@SallyStar](#): > > **Bryan Ekers** , it is the quality of the content now how many words you can spew out :rolleyes: Depends, do you think it’s possible to make sense with more words? You’re clearly not managing with just a few. It’s also hard to judge the quality of the content when there is none.

> [@SallyStar](#): > > What forum do you administer, your not questioning being stupider in the Pit are you? Wouldn’t that be unprecedented? **Sally** , I beg you, if you take away nothing from these posts, take this to heart. **Learn the difference between your and you’re**. You’ve made this mistake in several posts, and unlike being able to advance a logical argument, it is within your abilities to correct it. Your = possessive, i.e. your house, your dog, your GED You’re = contraction of two words, you and are, i.e. you’re in my way, you’re an idiot, you’re not fooling anyone ---

Who can out-Sally **SallyStar?** \*It’s easy and fun! Try it at home! Here’s what you’ll need… 1. A quote 2. A few words strung together in a loose approximation of a sentence 3. A reference to your GED 4. An assumption people know what your anti-bon-mots are in reference to, and 5. An smiley (Best used when it can further cloud your “intended” point) To get started, see the sample below. Not all ingredients are neccessary for each post. Mix them up and above all… HAVE FUN!!\* > [@skutir](#): > > What Sally needs to know is that she is just one in an endless chain of nitwits who wander in, scatter a few stupid posts, and then leave (or are banned).
