> [@octopus](#): > > That was almost coherent. Do you have kids? Or is your womb inhospitable to all life? Before now, I had you down as a relatively intelligent person who got bogged down on trivialities in language, and lost his shit when people used naughty words in the Pit. I thought you added something to the Board. Now I have you down as a cruel, petty, small-minded, ignorant man who lashes out in despicable ways when he gets caught in his own words. You owe **Guin** an apology. Your remark was way over the line. ---

Go fuck buttfuck a cactus. > [@Colibri](#): > > Get the fuck out of the Pit, cretin. Oh? You all are so _concerned_ now with Pit content? It’s fine when an organized group stirs up trouble, misrepresents honest attempts to solve a “problem”, employs disgusting language to attack other posters, they are even joined in by a clueless, hypocritical mod. Yet, a mild response in kind is somehow beyond the pale? What sort of disingenuous folks are you? This is the Pit as you all never cease to remind others when you gang up and harass them. One of the clowns from the other forum got modded for language. I’m surprised your snark generating trolling is tolerated. Anyways, if you don’t like personal attacks, don’t initiate them. I don’t come into the Pit to insult people. I gave an honest and effective solution to the topic of this thread. I actually gave a few solutions. What did I get in return? Personal attacks. My children were ridiculed. Several of us were virgin shamed. Several of us were attacked based on age, skin color and gender. And now things have gone too far? :rolleyes: So if you can’t handle what you initiate in the Pit, you have a solution, to quote one of the brains of our age: > [@Colibri](#): > > Get the fuck out of the Pit, cretin. ---

Octaputz, there is an ATMB thread about this. Why don’t you stop by that forum, and in forum permissible language, tell us what you really think about this matter. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > That was almost coherent. Do you have kids? Or is your womb inhospitable to all life? So this is the kind of content you want your children to see. I wonder why; I can think of a few possible reasons, none of which reflect well on you, as a person or as a parent. ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Octaputz, there is an ATMB thread about this. Why don’t you stop by that forum, and in forum permissible language, tell us what you really think about this matter. I told you here in forum permissible language what I’d do if this were a recurrent problem. I’d ignore posters with that particular theme in their posts and I’d ask the powers that be to consider a revision/extension to content policy with regards to gratuitous violent or sexual content including the concept of a NSFW tag on thread titles. I was personally attacked on racial, age, gender, sexual properties for not being empathetic to women enough for some _mysterious_ reason. What I would say in the ATMB board is what I have already said here and I’m sure that it would be as productive. But on the off-chance I am wrong lemme add my voice to your thread. ---

You procreated— more than once, if you’re to be believed. Haven’t you done enough harm? ---

You’re right, it was off base and I retract the comment. I’ve known a lot of good people whose parents were abusive, ignorant, hateful, all-around pieces of shit, so there is always cause for optimism. ---

I’ve known a lot of good people whose parents were abusive, ignorant, hateful, all-around pieces of shit, so there is always cause for optimism. Generating snark takes a village? I wonder if linking the posts that hint at the trollish intent from the Giraffe Board gang would be illuminating. You folks have lots of targets over here and are definitely keen on pot stirring to generate new material for your board. Look, your motives and patterns are transparent. Why your cross board drama stirring is tolerated is the only puzzle. ---

I’ll let you know. :dubious: I’m trying to decide if I should pull together all of his contradictory statements from just this one thread and Pit him.
