Probably. Good thing we don’t have a suspension forum 🙂

Since I don’t think I’m allowed to adequately answer this here, I’ll just say that I think this is inaccurate. If you would like to discuss this issue further, you obviously know where to find me since you seem to think you know all about my situation.

Indeed. I, for one, would be annoyed if he stopped, because that means he caved in to a bunch of meddlesome prats. It would annoy me to see them—those sanctimonious ninnies who can’t see that their opinion on the matter is hardly universal—get their way.

Also, the phrase amuses me, especially since IN FACT Bo uses it infrequently at most.

because of this thread, it’s fucking epic. I had no idea what it meant, but since it was in a thread where a woman tied to a rock was mentioned, I thought it was actually about the topic. (first time I ever saw the phrase)

I ignored it and forgot about it. But NOW, thanks to some fuckhead complainers, I will NEVER be able to forget about it.

Thanks a lot complainers. Thanks for nothing.

A few people have presented valid reasons, like **faithfool** in post #227 and **DSeid** in #421. Those explanations might not apply to _you_, but they are reasonable and more than simply “it’s different from the norm.”

I feel the same as **faithfool**. It doesn’t bother me enough to raise a stink, but it throws me off the conversation and I’d enjoy the threads more without it. Like others, it leads me to ignore a lot of **SB’s** posts.

For people who like the humor of a non sequitur like this, cool, I’d be fully supportive of enduring a slight annoyance for the sake of someone else’s chuckle, if there were a lot of you. But I think that number is pretty small. For people who get off on purposely annoying others, I just don’t get it. It’s trolling plain and simple, and it sucks that people here trumpet loudly how funny it is to troll.

Thank you. I’m not sure why anyone hasn’t much addressed the meat of what I suggested… **Bo** still using his version of LOL, but simply set apart so that those who wish to note it for what is and move on, can. I’d think that was a reasonable response for most. Am I completely off base?

Regardless though, I don’t much care either way. Just thought I’d throw it out there one last time.

Well, here we have a troll trolling a troll trolling a troll trolling a poster who is in fact not a troll.

It’s trollerific!

Ahem, there’s only _one_ place where we throw stuff around here, and that’s into the quarry!

How do you know this? Did you take a poll? Should we have polls to establish everything that is annoying to a majority and therefore should be banned?

Or, maybe this is a better solution: let **Bo** have his catchphrase which amuses him, and others as well, and SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT ALREADY.

The mods have allowed it.

He likes it.

Others like it.

Protesting it causes **Bo** to dig in his heels, and understandably so, in my opinion.

I mean, honestly, there are _so_ many other things far more worthy of a multi-page pit thread.

Careful now, I don’t believe you are allowed to mention violence in the same post as Bo, the mods don’t take kindly to that sort of thing.

What’s the point of this complaint? I’m glad this thread exists to bitch about Bo’s stupid tic. It gave me the chance to have a few chuckles with well-aimed snark at dingbats like you.

Is your BBQ Pit time so precious that you must carefully allot it per thread and anything not worthy throws your schedule into disarray?
