Shut the Fuck Up Alaric the Goth

That was one crazy Yom Kippur, lemme tell ya.

Ypu. Right now, get over here and clean off my desk where I just spit the Diet Pepsi out.

Well this pitting is somewhat midway through a conversation so it won’t have been as much of a surprise. But no, he wasn’t taking the “Please stop responding to alaricthegoth” thread as a proper pitting, so it seemed he needed one with a more pit-thy title.

But indeed, Alaric, you have been the recipient and worthy of multiple pittings. It’s not terribly encouraging.

I don’t spend enough time in the pit–I’ve said so before.

In fact, even the “fllaship” corrado thread escaped my attention for several days.

Thanks for the clarification. I will admit I visit Great Debates very seldom now and so I was unaware of alaric’s propensity for starting threads.

Still, I felt somebody had to take a “pro” alaricthegoth position if only for the sake of the SDMB Fairness Doctrine.

we accept any kindnesses, however rooted in affirmative action they may in fact be.

@Ravenman

Seriously. I can’t believe that so many people are so accepting of anthropologists. They’re just so… dirty.

The anthropology degree, as anyone who listens to Gatrrison Keilor can tell you, prepares you for work in the sex industry as does an english degree, and art history degree (especially…) and, of course, a philosophy degree.

@ElvisL1ves

So, Alaric, you were basically a research subject for her, then?

I hope not. Although her observational instincts did, I think in retrospect, underlie her comment delivered, as I recollect to a table full of doctors and lawyers, that in HER profession she could be at workwithin 1/2 hour of landing in any city in the world, whether she knew how to speak the language or not.

I think the bit about the language came from hier anthropological perspective.

rethe bumps

You can get a creme for those.

[Xploder]

Hey alaric…it really isn’t necessary to post four times to answer four posts you idiot.

Now continue on with your semi-sane conversation.

Then you are the only person with ADD on the board? I must have misunderstood all those other threads where non-multiposting posters talked about having it…

Downers + Uppers = Back where you began, only slurrier. Assuming you are taking medication in the first place. And if you’re not–if you can’t even post legibly on a non-time restricted BBS, how the heck are you getting through your daily life?

Not to piss on the flamefest or anything, but is this some guideline of your’s, or is it an actual SD recommendation?

[alaricthegoth]

they drive me around. All I have to do is get to the front door, and then that little bus pulls up.

The one with the cool driver in the fancy uniform, and the neat skylight for the girls to flash out of.

[Regardie]

You are weird. I like that in a man.

Well…

@MEBuckner

Moderator’s Note: Time to put a stake through this one’s heart.

And alaricthegoth, as a general rule, if your thread has only gotten 5 replies in a year and a half, four of which are from you, bumping it is really not a good idea.

@Frank

alaricthegoth, this is the second time you have bumped this zombie, which mostly consists of you talking to yourself anyway.

Thread closed.

@Sage Rat

Well…

Those aren’t necessarily the same thing at all. It’s perfectly possible to post four responses to four posts back to back without doing any bumping. If the problem is with someone posting one reponses very far apart, with the obvious purpose of bumping, then sure, I can see the problem. That’s not what Xploder said, though, so I wanted to see if it’s a rule or guideline I’m not aware of.

[DMC]

In fact, I just noticed that he seemed to be referring to alaricthegoth’s four posts above his, all which were within the same hour, thus not really what I’d consider bumping.

Ah sorry, I was skimming. But no, responding one-to-one is fine. Alaric though has had many many occasions where he does a four (responses)-to-one (post), so it just sticks out a lot more when he is filling the thread, regardless that it might usually be excusable for a different poster. Sometimes the one post was his own first post.

Ya know, if we could somehow get him to comment on something he hadn’t yet written, we could start a neverending, feedback loop as he responded to each of his posts, each of which referred to each other. The world would implode! :eek:

You are correct. I look at that posting behaviour as nothing more than post count padding. There’s no reason why the four responses couldn’t have been combined into one post.

No it isn’t a rule that I’m aware of.

@Sage Rat

Dude, get a clue.

If you clean up your language, your OPs are still much more pit than debate. And there’s nothing wrong with that so long as you are posting them in the pit, but putting them in GD just hurts everyones brains.

Saying “Look at this, it’s stupid!” isn’t a debate. Unless you can come up with a central point and follow it up with logic and present it in a format humans can understand and backed by cites, it just doesn’t belong in GD regardless of whether people post to it.

And fucking bumping your own threads by responding and re-responding to it is just childish. If no one has anything to say, then you’re just shit out of luck.

Live with it, or figure out how to get on the train.

So, newbies need to do a little research to know what the hell this pit is about, huh? No links to illustrate named behavior (language, inappropriate place of posting, illogical reasoning)- c’mon - give us a little help here.

Gulp - am I about to be pitted for saying this?

Well…I mean if you don’t have the pheah of alaric already, then how am I supposed to trust that you’re going to join in pitting him?

But the threads where I personally got to experience the pheah are the most lovely titled GD thread, We got the guy who got Sama’s kidneys;so of course he’s at Gitmo. Kafka, we need you which exhibits some nice multi-responding, whacked out spelling and grammar, personal insults, misquoting, etc. and then we have alaricthegoth’s own embarassment, I knew Lenny Bruce.He was a friend of mine.Jon Stewart IS Lenny Bruce.

Everyone please keep in your seats and remember, That nyquil is the shizzle…!

But really, can anyone defend that this is debating and not ranting?

@Alaric

I swear before Jesus if Clint Eastwood signs on as Bush’s Riefenstahl, it’s game over, head for canada.

You’ld think the world will end if Al q snuffs another cohort equallihng 1 and 1/2 percent of those who have died on the roads since 9/11.

NB:the car victims were ALSO americans (o sacred race, o precious blood, o skin that holds such special stuff…)

I am not going to ventilate at the moment over the circumstances of the brothers’ dentention, which, shame on me, I ws ignorant of until now.

but, short version:

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!!!
