I never really considered myself pit-worthy, and I guess this just shows that I was right! I’ll actually thank OP(DP??) though. It’s nice to know that there aren’t folks waiting in the wings for me to be pitted so they can have the chance to go “That son-of-a-bitch?? YEAH! Fuck that guy!!!” ---

It’s nice to know that there aren’t folks waiting in the wings for me to be pitted so they can have the chance to go “That son-of-a-bitch?? YEAH! Fuck that guy!!!” Yeah, this was a pretty tame pitting as far as it goes. Glad you got something out of it too. Like I told you, it was never about you personally with me just the one idea that bugged me. Never had any intentions of making it personal. Peace. PS: Cool it with the DP question. It won’t end well. ---

> [@naita](#): > > Oh no! My joke is not perfectly consistent with the real world! What ever will I do!? I’d suggest not giving it another thought. I couldn’t figure out what the joke represented logically and wanted to be educated. It was clear you were saying everyone agreed with me but had no idea how to work that out by the formula. I did get to learn what P and not P represents logically so it’s all good. ---

> [@naita](#): > > Friendly tip for accomplishing not making it personal: Don’t pick one single poster to reference in the title and body of your pitting. Easy mistake, could happen to anyone. Honestly, I did include " … and other Epic games apologists" and the one person I needed to let know that I wasn’t signalling the poster out was the poster them self and I PM’ed them directly after posting explaining this. If that poster didn’t believe me they haven’t stated this in this thread or by PM. It seems that those not involved in the pitting are more upset than the subject of the pitting themself. Go figure. ---

> [@Disgruntled\_Penguin](#): > > PS: Cool it with the DP question. It won’t end well. Yeah, DP usually doesn’t. Either you’re the one skewered by two dicks fighting for limited parking space, or you’re trying to pretend that you don’t like the feeling of another guy’s balls slapping against yours. Because he probably isn’t in to that aspect of the arrangement, is he? …or IS he??? :smack:😕 It is, to borrow the old saying, a double-eged sword. > [@Disgruntled\_Penguin](#): > > If that poster didn’t believe me they haven’t stated this in this thread or by PM.

I mean…it’s hard to be upset by, and I say this with no animosity toward you, the DP, one of the (honestly) weakest pit threads I’ve ever seen. Like…evar. ---

Like…evar. Don’t tell me you’ve bought into the I’m somehow upset story? I admitted it was a weak pitting early on ( and often )and don’t feel bad about that. I’m not one to attack someone willy nilly and your statements, which I disagree with strongly, don’t mean I have any ill will towards you. Over a game client FFS. It doesn’t make any sense. The weakest pit thread would have died were it not for JohnT who got way way way too invested in defending your honor. You’ve got a good friend there let me tell you. Dude is earnest. Everyone else I’ve enjoyed bantering with no matter how much they hated my DP. ---
