So now everyone’s going to get all lovey-dovey and spend hours writing goddamn “me-too” posts. Fuck. Oooh, we love you, Nick, we wanna be like you Nick, you’re so right, Nick. If he’s so goddamn right, why are we kissing his ass? -andros- * * * “Listen Children Eternal Father Eternally One!” Exceptions? None! -Doc Bronner ---

Well, gee. If you want a really good flame war, maybe you should post something meaningful. If 1000 new threads were dropped here tomorrow, it wouldn’t prevent any of you “old regs” from posting your own topics. So why ya bitching? don’t know how to scroll, or use the “back” button? Or is it that it’s easyer to piss and moan, rather than actually contribute anything? Is the Pit really dead? Or have the old ones become a bunch of mewling, whiny, bitches? * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

## No hablo Espanol- sorry for the cheap shot (re:bugger). I just couldn’t resist.

Se la pasan mandándose besitos y lamiéndose las suelas. Creen que sólo ellos tienen derecho de quejarse y decirnos cómo comportarnos. Eso sí, muchos huevos para ponerse con chamaquitos que apenas están empezando a salir del cascarón, y demostrando a todo el mundo que son unos fregones para hacer jueguitos de palabras que no son más que patéticos intentos por llamar la atención.

Bunch of cocksucking assholes! How about you quit flooding this board with all your shit and no balls. They spend their time blowing kisses and kissing each others’ asses. They think only they have the right to complain and tell us how to behave. But oh yeah, real balls to act like little children just breaking out of the shell, showing the whole world that they’re so cool at their little word games that aren’t anything more than calls for attention. And your cute little sigs, HA! They take advantage of internet anonymity to offend anyone they can (not to mention holding each others’ hands, asswipes!) I’d like to see you in person to see how big your balls really are. They have nothing more to offer the world but thir clowning around, and maybe their asses… **Translator’s note:** Unauthorized translation of E1Skeptic’s emotions. * * * “Where there is clarity, there is no choice. And where there is choice, there is misery. But then, why should I speak, since I know nothing?” ---

**BenDover** , bend over! **Mariachi** , you owe me $10. I’ll do my own translations from now on. 🙂 A couple of corrections: “But oh yeah, real balls **to act like little children** just breaking out of the shell…” should read: _But oh yeah, real balls **to attack youngsters** that are just breaking out of the shell_…" And please change: “They take advantage of internet anonymity to offend anyone they can (not to mention holding each others’ hands, asswipes!) I’d like to see you in person to see how big your balls really are.” to: "They take advantage of Internet anonimity to offend anyone they can (and besides they do it holding hands, \*\*\*\*\*\*\*!) I’d like to see them in person and alone, let’s see if they have such big balls. Maybe we could work out some kind of deal, si? I post, you translate, I correct. Just kidding. ¡Se lo lavan! ---

Well, when you people finish your circle jerk, I suggest you take a deep breath, wipe yourselves off, and open your minds. This message board is a huge place, with lots of new people constantly coming and going. If one thread bores you, here’s an idea: move on to another. If they all bore you, wait a few days and check back in. It’ll all be new! But in the end, Nickrz, if you don’t like what the newer posters are doing, maybe you should resign as moderator, flee this wasteland, and open your own private site where you and your buddies can close the electronic door and do exactly as you please. THIS pit is a constantly changing, public environment. It’s not meant for losers like you.
