OK, I have a few things to say: First, **El Cid Viscoso** , you know, a lot of nasty things have been said in this thread, but I draw the line at someone saying I use NetZero. Man, that’s just not right! Second, regardless of what **psycat** has said, _bring on the cocksucking_! Ok ok, third and seriously - look, I’ve said it before, I’ll say it as clearly as possible as I can this time: **Lobsang** ’s thread was obviously the one that set my gears in motion. I’ve been on hiatus for a while and honestly don’t know him from Adam. I was shocked to see that those types of threads survived for more than a post or two. I thought it was well-established that that kind of trolling for attention was sophomoric, annoying and, well…LAME! And so I parodied it. Harshly, some might say, but from what I can tell after this thread, the Pit has become a pussified, shiny-happified version of what it once was. The fact that it was Lobsang is secondary to the whole point of it, though. Did I assume it might ruffle his feathers a bit? Of course! In fact I hoped it would, so he might see the err of his ways. Did I think it would ruin his life or cause a major call to arms from some people over a huge offense to mankind? Of course not! I’ve seen my own fair share of harsh criticism in the Pit, valid and invalid and, while I listen to all of it, I take it how it should be taken, with a grain of salt. Especially when it is tinged (as it should be, to a point) with a healthy dose of sarcasm and humor. It sounds like **Miller** is a pretty respectable, logical person, from what I’ve read here and elsewhere. Dude, chill out. If you can’t see that my post was (as was mentioned earlier) WAY over the top hyperbole, then I think you’ve either had a bad day or are reading way too much into it. Christ, I’m all about this community. I met my wife here for god’s sake. I’d say probably 80% of my posts come from MPSIMS. I love MPSIMS. If someone posted an honest to goodness thread stating, “I’m feeling really depressed, can you guys help a brother out…?” I’d be all over it. What I think is annoying, not to mention misleading, is when someone who has no intention of leaving claims that they are on the verge of leaving or are just plain going to leave. If you want to bolster a sense of community, do it by actually reaching out for a hand instead of using \ subterfuge to get your ego stroked. Fourth, I’m circumcised. And fifth and finally, the lot of you spung-monkeys are a bunch of dumb bastards. There’s no such thing as plate-sized nipples. They’re AREOLAS, fuckers! ---

And I still think the thread about **torie** was inexcusable and I’m sticking by that! He could mean it in a Prisoneresque type of _Be seeing you…_ but that’s doubtful. Doob is just a pathetic follower who probably represents all the reasons you were afraid to come out. If his tongue was any deeper in Demo’s ass, it’d be lodged somewhere in his large intestine. To give credit where credit is due, that is a kiss ass who gives his all. ---

I don’t have a dog in this fight nor, after a very brief perusal of the vitriol above, am I interested in inserting one. However, disregard this as you may, if allowed I will make one brief comment… I’d not seen Demo here in awhile but the last time I remember him posting it was a heartfelt apology for when he put something out here that some took offense to and he subsequently was sincerely contrite in his apology. In fact, he took a self imposed leave of absence in what I understood to be an effort to quell any ill will. It made a bit of an impression on me and, to be honest, I was kinda sorry not to see him around more often after that. Like I said, it’s not an observation on who’s right or wrong since I have at least an equal respect for those that oppose his views, just I’m perplexed as to why rational minds on both sides ignore a coming to of minds and instead pursue a hostile climate. ---

[Oops, he informs me, “more data needed.” Back in a bit.] Um, but you know what, Mauv? I hate to tell you this, but you remember that incredibly jargon-laden and stupid job listing I posted in my LJ today? Buried deep in that mountain of verbiage are the words “lighting industry” and the location is in Conyers. I think you’re fucked, sweetheart. ---

As rational people should hopefully be able to do, I think we can agree to disagree on some level. All rants aside, I definitely don’t want to walk out of here with ill will in either direction. Certainly lessons can be learned on both sides of the equation. Also, thanks **lieu** , that means a lot to me. ---

Don’t have much of an opinion on the OP one way or another – I couldn’t care less whether this **Lobsang** dude stays, goes, or howls at the moon seeking attention. But that’s not why I’m here. Thought I’d toss my dick out there in case someone needed it for a lollypop. Just making make sure the supply was up to the demand. So to speak. Carry on. ---
