> [@Miller](#): > > **Demo** posts a Pit thread and a bunch of people show up to pat him on the back and tell him how much they like him. My point, Miller, is that I would have made the same first post as I did if say… Lissener had started this thread and not Demo. I didn’t post to pat Demo on the back, I posted because, like Demo, those kinds of threads annoy the fuck of me. I’ll admit that I opened the thread originally because Demo posted it, but like I said before, I’m more inclined to open and post to threads that are started by people I like. Yourself included. That doesn’t mean that if I disagreed with Demo I would have posted just to stroke his ego. Nor if I dislike someone am I automatically going to disagree with them just because they are the ones that said whatever. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > **thinksnow** , accidentally posting under his wife’s screen name, says that MPSIMS is for “whiny bitches.” But half the posts made by his wife are in that forum. Therefore, **thinksnow** just called his wife a whiny bitch. Are you fucking telling me that you took the time to do a search on every post made by **thinksnow** ’s wife, and tabulated the number of posts in each forum just so you could make this stupid point? Jesus, you need to step away from the keyboard once in a while and do something social and productive like sucking **demo** ’s dick. ---

Yeah. It took maybe two minutes. I clicked on the screenname, selected “Show all posts by user,” and counted how many were in MPSIMS. She’s only made sixty posts. It took more time to type the response than it did to “research” it. ---

In Miller’s defense, Laserkitty only has like 60 or so posts - it wouldn’t take too long, or too much effort, to click the “find all posts” button and scroll the list. I highly doubt he actually counted them all, just said “half” as a rough estimate. ---

Yeah, but you didn’t say a damn thing about “those kinds of threads” in your first post, you just posted more tedious flirty bullshit. Excuse me for getting the impression that you were more interested in who the OP was than what he was saying. We have a whole forum for that crap, we don’t need to bring it into the Pit, and it’s particularly tacky to do it when one poster’s calling another poster out. If you have something to say about the issue being pitted, speak up. If you just want to bat your eyelashes at the cool kid, find a more appropriate thread. ---

I hardly think the manner in which **Demo** ’s babies will be had or cock will be sucked counts as “tedious flirty bullshit”. It sounds to me like someone needs his cock sucked. I’m not volunteering, I’m just sayin’. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Yeah, but you didn’t say a damn thing about “those kinds of threads” in your first post, … Actually, I did. I said > [@](#): > > It’s times like these I’m reminded why I don’t read MPSIMS with any regularity. And I say that as a stupid unfunny person who _should_ live in the forum named for the Mundane and Pointless. Which was a direct statement about “those kinds of threads”. I am sorry if it wasn’t clear enough for you, but I did “speak up” about the issue at hand. I can’t help but think if I had said anything more deliberate I would have been accused of being a bully and ganging up on poor Lobsang. As for the, as you put it, “flirty bullshit”. In my first post I merely said “Actually, I’d rather you have my babies if it’s all the same to you. I don’t want to ruin my girlish figure (I don’t love you _that_ much).” Which really wasn’t meant to be a flirt it was a reply to the comments in the OP that said > [@](#): > > …and nobody loves me. Please come in and tell me how much you want to have my babies … . As I said, it wasn’t the fact that Demo posted it that caused me to say what I said - I would have said the exact same thing had anyone else posted it, even if it was someone I’m not fond of. If you wish to take it as my being a flirty dick-sucker, that’s your deal and I’m done trying to have a rational civil discussion with you. I am sorry that you’re left with such a low opinion of me, but again, that’s your deal and I’m done trying to change your mind. ---

> [@Hamadryad](#): > > No, see, I don’t think you’re getting it. It’s not “{poster} feels bad, I think I will deliberately try to make him feel worse.” It’s “Wow, those fucking ‘I’m leaving’ threads just get older and older…particularly when the ‘I’m leaving’ person **fucking stays**. Therefore, I shall mock it because it’s fucking stupid.” I do get it actually, the concept is not that hard. Let’s say periodically somebody post’s a thread titled “I’m feeling depressed”. Some of the folks that like the poster come over and offer words of encouragement. One poster decides, because he’s tired of seeing threads like this, starts a pit thread called “I’m feeling depressed” and basically calls the fellow a whiny-ass bitch. He’s pissing on the guy’s feelings just because he doesn’t like “I’m depressed” threads in principle. That’s not much different than this case. The principle of not liking “I’m leaving” threads is not so important that you have to disrespect somebody else’s feelings. Or as I learned from **Lobsang** a few days ago, that’s pants man. And **OxyMoron** , this is fighting ignorance, of the social kind. ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > Fucked up my code… That’s it I’m… vacating. Hehehe. See? Now _that’s_ funny. Atta boy **Lobsang**. Honestly, you were not singled out as a poster, I’m sorry if that’s so hard for you to believe, but it’s true. Unless you like the attention, of course. 😉 Really though, the board has seen its fair share of these threads, and more often than not, the poster doesn’t go anywhere. You know, that in itself isn’t a horrible crime, it just gets annoying after awhile. **Demo** ’s thread was mocking the thread theme in general, not you specifically. As it happened, you were the latest poster to create one. Hopefully there’s no ill will when it’s all said and done. Personally, this thread has had me in stitches. And just so everyone is clear, the only person that will be sucking **Demo** ’s cock is me.
