**Steophan** , you are a sanctimonious _ **TWIT** _!

This is the first time I’ve ever started a thread in the Pit.  
No, that doesn’t sound quite right.  
Let’s try this…

This is the first time that I’ve been compelled so strongly, to flame someone. (There, that sounds _ **much** _ better.)

After reading your postings in this thread… [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=628218](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=628218)  
I just _ **could not** _ resist it.

I feel like it’s poor etiquette to stop here, but I’m afraid that something much more important has come up.  
Rest assured that _ **I will be back** _ ASAP, to expand upon my indignation.

His rage burns with the fury of a stubbed-out cigarette butt.

Seriously - all the stupid stuff that gets said on this board and _this_ is the most pitworthy thing he could find?

Fuck. I spent entirely too much time reading that crappy thread and still have no idea what Steophan posted.

OP, can you be a little more specific?

I searched the thread for Steophan’s posts.  
Over two months ago, he stated that he didn’t mind people throwing cigarette butts out of car windows.

Ooh. Horrible.

OK, now I understand. The OP was so overtaken by revulsion that he was compelled to go outside and pick up every cigarette butt he could find.

Well, that was disappointing. I made coffee and everything ready to sit down, and now I’m gonna have to find something else to do while I drink it.

**JBDivmistr** , you are not a very interesting person.

I didn’t participate in that thread, because the subject had “internet toughguy” written all over it. Now we have **JBDivmstr** pitting **Steophan** for a post made two months ago questioning the wisdom of throwing lit cigarettes at people. Pathetic.

If it makes you feel better **Steophan** , I think you’re a dipshit.

Glad to help

Lousy pit thread but I gotta go with **B-Dog** here - **Steophan’s** posts in music threads are typically full of :smack: - never enough to warrant a Pitting, but good for a laugh.

Maybe the big delay is that he’s still busy formatting the post. Do you know how _long_ it must take **JBDivmstr** to produce posts like [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=14615213#post14615213)?
