As attempted segues go, clumsily executed. And a rather poor attempt to slide past GD decorum rules. Fumble. ---

> [@Bryan Ekers](#): > > I know what you tried to do. You know what you tried to do. Whether the mods find out is none of my concern. I didn’t try to do anything. I originally wrote it out as a single post, previewed, and just before I hit submit I realized I was about to break a board rule. So I cut out the insult and moved it to the pit. Pretty straightforward. I have no idea what it is you think I tried to do. But by all means, continue to play your role of nerd police. It suits you. ---

> [@JimSox5](#): > > I’ll bet you’re a Jets fan. 😉 Sadly, I am, but at least I’m primarily a Giants fan, so the season wasn’t a total loss. Not relevant to anything, I’ll be offline from soon until Saturday. ---

Since you seem to know what’s going on here, would you mind explaining it to this bystander? I’m not exactly following your clever “critique”. ---

> [@Ellis Dee](#): > > What is it that you are babbling about? Why don’t you just tell me what it is that I failed miserably to do? The main problem is that you didn’t put any effort into it. Why should Dopers have to puzzle out what you’re mad about? If you want to Pit someone or something, take a real swing at it. A few cryptic phrases and a belated link don’t cut it. Closed. –Veb
