[quote=“Gary “Wombat” Robson, post:299, topic:528165”] [moderator warning] **not\_alice** , you have asked for clarification several times on the rules, so I know you understand them. STOP trying to pull **Cesario** into pedophilia/child porn discussions. [/moderator warning] [/QUOTE] Well, with all due respect, I have asked several times, pleading each time, honestly, that I do NOT understand. So it is not really fair for you to say I do know when I don’t. Unless you are a better version of me, which I suppose is possible 🙂 With all seriousness, since this whole pitting seems to revolve around what was said in a particular thread by [\*\*\*\*], why now jump in as we approach the end of page 6? Also, how is the message you warned me for different in substance than post 279? (bolding mine) > [@](#): > > Your objection is easy to address: \*\*Cesario said a few times that he would never go to Australia because he likes kiddy porn literature \*\*and it’s illegal there. ---

Winning a debate by simply wearing your opponent down is not really “winning”. This is not a debate, it is the Pit, the mighty mighty Pit goddammit! 😃 And I agree in the sense that if I were to have to submit a summary, the thread itself would be a very raw draft. But so what, it is the nature of these boards, kind of a collaborative conversation. When they go on, they can lose a sense of coherence. But we love 'em anyway 🙂 ---

Truth is, 7 pages in, no one can say which mysterious post is the one that is substantively like the others that Giraffe listed. You are all full of it, and you can go on for 100 more pages if you like, but you only are acting like asses insisting you see something that isn’t there. Must be fun to be popular I guess, but that popular \<\> right. ---

[quote=“1920s Style “Death Ray”, post:310, topic:528165”] Surely he must be either a troll or severely retarded? This _cannot_ be the honest posting of a normal person. [/QUOTE] That is what I think about each and every one of you, and some of you have pretty much admitted to the trolling part of it at least. But feel free to pull the missing quote out of Giraffe’s list - it seems to be a fun game for your type - it has kept you all busy for 7 pages now the same way tossing a puzzle toy to my dogs keeps them busy trying to find the treats. And it is fun for me to watch you all go off, one by one, insisting you will bring it back, and then getting all in a huff when I ask you to show it to us all 🙂 Really, can one of you do that trick again please? ---

Unless you are a better version of me, which I suppose is possible 🙂 Because it’s very simple and straightforward, and you seem to be the only person that doesn’t get it. I’ll try explaining one more time: We have told **Cesario** not to find ways to drag pedophilia into every thread he participates in, and find something else to talk about. To make this fair, everyone else was told to stop baiting him, mentioning his name in pedophilia discussions, and quoting things he said before **Ed Zotti** ’s ruling. As I said, it’s really quite simple. > [@not\_alice](#): > > With all seriousness, since this whole pitting seems to revolve around what was said in a particular thread by [\*\*\*\*], why now jump in as we approach the end of page 6?
