Pretty sure Plumpudding is smokin’ the bath salts tonight. Look at his posting history… seems relatively normal up until tonight, at which point it becomes a string of incomprehensible, insane gibberish. ---

I’m torn. On one hand the OP is a blatant and boring attempt to be a big man with the snarker crowd. On the other hand, I would like BigT to shut up. ---

BigT is boring enough. Multiple links to verify how much he bores is a zero-sum game. ---

> [@Not\_Carlson](#): > > Why? Yeah I’m going to turn this pitting right around on you. Why ask why? I HATE when people ask “why did you post X”? on a message board. All you are doing is stifling discussion. And the more you stifle discussion, the less discussion there will be! As to the OP, I’m not going to click all those links, but I am impressed. All of you who are complaining he put too many links are crazy. If he’d only put one, you’d be bitching about that, too. “Only one link? That’s proof of nothing!” ---

Ooh, a bunch of links with almost no original thought. Well, that convinces me that you’re right about BigT … No, wait, it does the exact opposite of that. Instead of just going creepy stalker, maybe next time you could actually use what limited intellect you have to actually argue your point, instead of just demanding that everyone else reads a bunch of links. > [@madsircool](#): > > 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. Why don’t you take that stupid motherfucking idea over to MPSIMS and do unmentionable things to it over there? The pit is already a shadow of its past glory, mostly because of fucking whiny little care bears like you. > [@Bricker](#): > > I concur with this. It’s a no-win: too few examples don’t prove the point; too many and it’s “Get a life!” Counsellor, I find you guilty of using the fallacy of the excluded middle. I sentence you to actually click and read all those threads linked in the OP, may whatever deity you worship have mercy on your soul. ---

And the more you stifle discussion, the less discussion there will be! I disagree. In this case asking why is promoting discussion. I read the OP and clicked on a few of his links but don’t really understand what his point is. Without that bit of information there is no discussion to be had. If he could articulate what it is about BigT that he finds pitworthy then we could discuss the extent to which his complaints are or are not valid. As it is, there is no there there. ---
