> [@SenorBeef](#): > > You know what’s funny? You snarktards all associate me singularly with some obsessive need to avoid spoilers, and it’s not a particularly big concern of mine. I mean, yes, I legitimately would like to avoid them for GOT, but the reason I’m associated with the issue so much is because I took proactive steps towards solving the problem of the horrible trainwrecks of those threads. It was a public service - we went from really shitty discussions to really good ones. Yeah, mock me for that, idiots. > [@BigT](#): > > Yeah, kinda dumb to out himself like that. Seems VT is one of those posters who reposts crap from the SnackPit. Or maybe the Giraffe Board’s Snackpit-lite. Don’t really visit either one anymore. They read everything I say here anyways. > > Though I might check in to see how bent out of shape they get over this post. That fake banning was pretty funny last time, especially since so many of them thought it was in earnest. Poor sad little trolls. Just posting normally over here counts as trolling them over there if they hate you. > > And because I know someone is going to try it: I’m just posting my honest opinion and not trying to stir up shit over there. That was just a side benefit. I am not in violation of the rule against trying to start a board war. And this is the Pit, where it’s not trolling if you are offering your sincerely held opinion. > > And, that, SenorBeef, is how you respond to snacktards. Don’t feed them.

What an awesome thread to just stumble across out of the blue. > [@Munch](#): > > Who, exactly, do you think is going to reverse course and take up your side in this? Here’s a quick guide to go by. Currently [all of these posters except for you](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=690301) find you to be an annoying shitstain, and laugh as you dig yourself deeper and deeper with each post. Add my name to the list who thinks DrDeth is an annoying shitstain in regards to this issue. Big fan of the “books don’t exist” rule, though I could do without the 700-word OPs detailing the rules each week. A simple “In this thread, the books do not exist” seems clear enough to me. ---

Maybe I’m really dense (I never rule that out), but just how is the existence of a “series only; no book references” thread actually HARMING anyone? Please note that the existence of a thread you don’t personally enjoy or agree with does NOT constitute harm in any halfway sane reality. ---

You know, if he had limited the pitting to the people who are super extreme when it comes to not being spoiled\*, he might have found some takers. They can get annoying. But really, to equate that to a “crusade against knowledge”…that was so stupid that he turned off all potential allies. What a stupid dick. \*Although I get why the Got threads needed to get so extreme. ---

Yeah, I’m starting to think he’s not really a doctor. He spelt “death” wrong, too. There should be an “a” after the “e”. I think they probably teach you that in medical school. ---

It’s kind of a shame to let this die. Pits that blow up in the OP’s face are the best, and it’s been a while since we’ve had one blow up as much as this one. ---

This is a poor excuse for a duel-one guy shows up, fires and leaves, then the next guy shows up, fires and leaves. 😃 ---

He was busy showing his ass in GD yesterday. He’s already done so in Cafe Society & the Pit, so I guess he was going for the trifecta. ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > This is a poor excuse for a duel-one guy shows up, fires and leaves, then the next guy shows up, fires and leaves. 😃 Well, to be fair, it’s really his fault on account of the fact he didn’t actually inform me he had challenged me to a duel. He showed up, shot at a picture of me, missed wildly, got heckled by bystanders, and then slinked off before I showed up. ---
