Well, that was a waste of 500 bucks. ---

[QUOTE=Quentin S. Smith] Whoops! Busted. Sincerely, p.r.r. [/QUOTE] Funny. You are either admitting to something that we have no way of confirming, or you are just making a stupid joke. Brilliant! Why don’t you answer the question? Are you lying about being new to these boards? ---

[QUOTE=Quentin S. Smith] Whoops! Busted. Sincerely, p.r.r. [/QUOTE] [wet blanket again]This joke is in bad taste. Maybe you should just go away from this thread now and stop acting like a bad troll. [/wba] * * * You know, this pit thread is winding down, but before it fades, I would still like to see **Quiddity Glomfuster,** either answer for the broad brush insults she made to start her entrance in this thread or admit that she has contradicted herself. I think this is the same complaint that \*\*Contrapuntal \*\* & \*\*Hakuna Matata \*\* leveled against her. I am interested if she comes back to answer or just moves on. Jim ---

[QUOTE=Q.E.D.] There is no rule against addressing a poster by a previous username. You’re thinking of a very specific prohibition directed toward one specific poster, whose name escapes me at the moment. Anyone else is perfectly free to call him **Libertarian** , and in the Pit, any other name he wishes. [/QUOTE] Well it would certainly fall under the general “don’t be a jerk rule”, in fact, I think that was the justification for the specific admonition you’re talking about. When people have made it clear how they wish to be addressed, failure to follow their request is jerkish. ---

While we have been watching our “new” poster (while attempting to give him the benefit of the doubt), this thread is closed pending a review by the entire staff that our evidence is correct.
