Since it appears that [del]our evil corporate overlords[/del]…[del]our parents[/del]… [del]The Man[/del]… **Ed** is gonna come down on us real soon now and Lay Down The Law, I think we should take this opportunity to prove–_prove_, I tell you! Like in the last thirty minutes of a particularly dreadful Disney film!–that we _really can_ behave ourselves if we want to. I’ll start. \ I would like to cordially invite **Giraffe** to masturbate elsewhere and feel slightly under the weather. ---

Or perhaps have intimate relations with yourself and thereupon expire. ---

> [@Atomicflea](#): > > Might I suggest you enter into a flammable building and perhaps breathe your last? Are you threatening another poster’s life?? This is unacceptable, even in the pit. I suggest you read the RULES before posting here, mister (and if that particular rule is not yet listed, you should know that I intend to add it later). Not only have I suspended your posting privileges, but I’ve reported your menacing threats to local law enforcement. Your new pit boss ---

Are you inferring that I, a female, am mannish? I think that I will play along with you and pretend I am unaffected, then send a PM complaining about harassment and discrimination. ---

I think that I will play along with you and pretend I am unaffected, then send a PM complaining about harassment and discrimination. Look, honey, the term is “manly”, not “mannish”. And Toots, you have _some nerve_ complaining about harassment when you yourself in this very thread were making violent threats to other posters, which as I already stated is AGAINST THE RULES, even in the pit (at least I think it is…if it’s not, I’ll add it in right after I ban you). I’ll go ahead and lock this thread now. as soon as I figure out how to do that.. ---

> [@Enola\_Gay](#): > > And Toots, you have _some nerve_ complaining about harassment when you yourself in this very thread were making violent threats to other posters I’m not sure when polite suggestions as to possible ways to shed this mortal coil came under the heading of threats, but I will post several different threads protesting this right after I write a strongly worded letter to Ed protesting your patronizing attitude, lead hand on the mouse, and the fact that these boards are going to the very depth of Hades in a small handheld woven container. ---

You all can go to a slightly less blissful state of eternal paradise. Um, after you conclude your lives, the lengths of which I hope have not been altered in any way. ---
