That would be an interesting thread. I mean use the same link and add some relevent content and you have a decent OP not like this worthless outrage of the day OP by Bosda.
So, am I the only one who read all of Bosda’s posts in the bird flu thread in the voice of Walter Winchell?
Well, isn’t that the point? It’s just barely possible that if someone has annoying posting habits and someone calls them on it, maybe they’ll get a clue that they are not universally well-regarded on the boards. Maybe they’ll even cut back on the behavior. While if one says nothing (the famous “if you don’t like it, don’t read it” approach), the annoyance lingers. One thinks, “That seems like an interesting topic” and clicks, and, as the page renders, sees Bosda as the author, and thinks, “Crap, fooled again.”
But the OP’s name always appears under the thread title on the forum front page, so you’d know ahead of time anyway, wouldn’t you?
There you go again, using reason and logic. Haven’t you learn this has no place in the pit. Off to GQ with you. 
I don’t think anybody is suggesting that nothing be said. There are just more appropriate ways to call a person out. Threadshitting, as Kimstu put it, is nothing more than a hijack. Anybody actually interested in this thread topic winds up being unable to stoke up a discussion because it all becomes about the posters instead of the topic. Kaylasdad99 had an interesting point completely overwhelmed by the bickering, I’m sure other people who may have contributed to a discussion didn’t bother.
A better way, the standard way, to call out a poster is to open up a Pit thread. Put his name in the title, make a case for his bad posting habits, and see where it goes. Who knows, maybe there are a dozen long time posters with Bosda on their mental ignore list, who won’t bother opening up one of his threads, and won’t contribute at all to this.
To sum up, if you want to Pit somebody, just fucking Pit them already.
OK, that was clever & original.
And kind. Thank you.
I enjoy Bosda’s threads. You’re being an oversensitive and, might I add, increasingly annoying fuckwit in this instance.
In considerably tinier lettering, yes. However, it’s not yet completely second-nature with me to check the thread’s originator to make sure they’re not a total wanker. And there’s always the tiny oft-dashed hope that * one of these days * Bosda (or posters of his ilk) will actually furnish an OP worth reading.
Further, if you go to the index page, you only see the name of the most recent poster.
Just in case no one else answered it . . . . becasue this is a civil matter, not a legal one. He didn’t steal the money, it was sent to him by the probate court. If he is really disobeying a court order to return the money, then the ante is upped a bit, but it’s up to the survivors to pursue this through the court system. People don’t get put in jail just becasue they do somehting unfair. It’s called “due process,” and he’s entitled to it, even if he IS an asshole.
Excuse me, I meant “becasue this is a civil matter, not a criminal one.”
