Hey No Fear, remember me? I had the “fuck you, newbie” earlier. Did you happen to notice how fast Ablett got banned? If you continue to mod bash and be generally useless and not bring anything constructive to the board, you will be right behind him/her. Just a thought. Happy Holidays! ---

I guess we’ll never know. BTW, our little friend **No Fear** apparently is arguing the late, lame Ablett’s case in that thread as well. I wonder if he’ll make it to the two-digit mark ? S. Norman ---

“Arguing” is really too strong a word to describe **No Fear’s** post in that thread. ---

“Fear, remember me?” No, I didn’t, as a matter of fact. I missed your earlier. If it was so lame you have to refer me to it, it’s also too lame for me to read this time either. You don’t know much about the pit, do you? Too much chaff in with the mouldy wheat to bother reading it all. ---

No Fear. No fear of being flamed or banned, apparently. Go back to AOL, kid. We’ve had enough of your kind here. [hijack] I’m really beginning to enjoy this Pit thing! [/byejack] ---

~ROFLMAO~ OMG! I laughed so hard through this entire thread!! Thank you all for such an enjoyable Pit experience. I just had to stand up and applaud everyone! [sub]except NoFear for obvious reasons[/sub] I still laugh over the “yours = your’s” bit… HooBoy! 😃 ---

Looks like they finally got around to banning **No Fear** , too. First **Ablett** – hmm, d’ya think Madhatter is registering socks to spell something about **manhattan** (one of his usernames was, IIRC, a rude anagram), and using the whole **Coldfire** thing as subterfuge? ---

a la Bart Simpson “I will not feed the trolls” - really, I won’t feed the trolls. Unless the answer is 42 and they can quote infinite inprobability drive, or unless they are the BBC and they hold all rights to the tardis, I really won’t feed the trolls…or unless they can quote every episode of Star Trek AND Gilligan’s Island…damn - who holds the rights to the robot from “Lost In Space”? Warning…warning… reprise will not feed trolls; reprise will not feed trolls; reprise will not feed trolls… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-bbq-pit/45165.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-bbq-pit/45165.md?page=4)
