> [@Miller](#): > > I’ve never been one to complain about a B-. Ok, I guess now we just need to figure out how low I can go. How about a 7? 😉 (just kidding, i’ll stop) ---

Hi, didn’t read 3 pages, why is this in the pit? Would this comment not have just fit directly in the thread as a throwaway (and very funny) one-liner? ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > Hi, didn’t read 3 pages, why is this in the pit? Would this comment not have just fit directly in the thread as a throwaway (and very funny) one-liner? This thread was started by **Czarcasm** right here in The BBQ Pit to mock another poster who posted a question in GQ about measuring the intelligence of trees. So there was some amount of pile-on with that. But due to the recent mash-up of complaining about **Czarcasm** and modding, mostly over in ATMB, and the modly advice to take any pile-ons about **Czarcams** to the Pit, I think a lot of people are now using _this_ thread to pile-on **Czarcasm** instead. ---

Can something have intelligence if it’s in a persistent vegetative state? ---

Can you blame them? Honestly? **Czarcasm** is a dick and a drama queen. There was zero reason to start this thread. He is pitting a harmless, tongue-in-cheek GQ post. The damn GQ question even had this 😛 smilie. I’m going to go ahead and say it. At this point, **Czarcasm** has become a troll. He posts shit knowing full well what will happen and for the express purpose of making people annoyed with him. ---

I merely gave a matter-of-fact statement of what I see happening here, in response to **Budget Player Cadet** ’s question. After all, I wouldn’t want to get warnings and bannings rained down upon myself and everyone else in this thread! ---

Did you even read the OP? If not you might be wondering what the intelligence of plants are. OP basically called anyone who would even think of wondering what the intelligence of plants are a retard. Probably get told off if he said that in GQ. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-only-answer-possible-for-a-gq-question/694269.md?page=5)
