I stand by my statement, Geobabe. By your rational, any Pit thread started should never have been. If, for example, thinksnow says something that gets everyone riled up, would you blame him for someone taking him to task? Even if what he said was a tongue-in-cheek comment that someone took literal? I can’t be responsible for the actions of other people. If I tell you to kill someone, you have to be fucked up enough to do it. With all due respect, your comment seems to be along the lines of “my son committed suicide because he was listening to heavy metal.”
The difference between “something that gets everyone riled up” or a “tongue-in-cheek comment that someone took literal[-ly],” resulting in a Pit thread and “I’ve never been flamed” resulting in a Pit thread is that the first two cases are legitimate instances of ire that someone felt toward the flamee. The last case is simply an stance of MPSIMS, not a real bit of ire or froth, which is what the Pit is for.
People, in general, don’t have a problem with random flirting and they’ve said as much, but one-on-one flirt threads should be email and flirt-like Pit threads that really aren’t rants, flames or whatever, shouldn’t be at all or should be in MPSIMS. That’s all.
Oh yeah, I guess my point is that while the first two cases are ligit, the last (“I’ve never been flamed”) is silly and if someone then flames them, because of that comment, well, then the maker of that comment is to blame. IMOSHO.
thinksnow and Geobabe, I acknowledge your viewpoints, and I respect them, but I have a differing perspective. We shall agree to disagree on this, and leave it at that.
Works for me.
Since this is, kinda, a “roast dude” thread:
“Elvis” is a better karoke persona than you. Nya-nya!
Yeah? You just wait until I show up to sing “Kryptonite” in my Superman outfit.
Speaking as a poster who doesn’t know any of these in-jokes, this thread is giving me my Surgeon General’s Daily Recommended Dose of Surrealism. Thank you all. “Zippy the Pinhead” hasn’t been the same since Griffy moved east.

And what gives you the idea that I’m not paying real close attention, pray tell? I made a “get a room” comment based on the two posts above mine, namely Superdude’s and tavalla’s. Superdude even thanks tavalla for taking his virginity. At no time did your name enter the picture.
So suddenly I’m not paying attention.
:rolleyes:
