Why not? Not all pittings have to be frothing threads of filth.
If the Dope really wanted to it could make the Pit a better place. It could eliminate the hate and the insults and replace them with warmth and kindness. The world would be a better place if those of you who vent anger instead emitted empathy.
One stroke of kindness could start a revolution that made the world a better place. It could stop the intolerance of refugees in Europe; stop racism across the USA; stop homophobia in Uganda and stop the Friends reunion.
Its up to us. We can do it. Otherwise we are bad people who dont care for our fellow man.

So your complaint is that he writes long posts? Or some other thing?
All I got from your OP is that you can copy and paste thread links.
Try again. Points for brevity.

Whoa, there! If this is supposed to be the “Lecture Series 2016”, why are all the quotes from 2008? And, for that matter, why all from August?
I should report you for placing misleading statements on the Internet.

But I laughed when I saw the title. Some memes here feel like old friends after a while.
(RELATED: Saw a billboard that had a list of two reasons to use a particular realtor. Until they took it down, I daydreamed about getting up there in the wee hours and painting “#3. Hi, Opal!”)

**BigT** , you better contact your accountant and have him (or her, it could be a her) file amended tax returns for 2011-2014. Living rent-free in **madsircool** ’s head probably counts as a form of income, in case you ever get audited by the IRS.

Please be good enough to speak for yourself. Or at least not presume to speak for me.
Surely you don’t believe that the object of your Pitting is the first self-appointed Conscience we’ve had around here?
