IDK… it was kind of borderline, wasn’t it? Like no one (except maybe BigT?) really thought Haj really thought stranger had PTSD, right? Hyperbole and whatnot… ---

I’ve already mentioned how much I’d like BigT to stop using whichever pit thread is active to long form litigate vaguely related personal feuds. ---

A significant number of your posts in this thread is you telling people the supposed rules for posting in it. Maybe you should fuck off to junior mod camp or as you frequently suggest, start your own thread for your little tiff with hajario. ---

> [@naita](#): > > I’ve already mentioned how much I’d like BigT to stop using whichever pit thread is active to long form litigate vaguely related personal feuds. I had no idea because until I got the mention I never read any of this thread. But while we are at it, @BigT and I aren’t in a feud or a pissing contest. I did search and we rarely interact at all. The last time we had anything resembling unkind words was over six years ago. Since then everything has been cordial or informative. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > But while we are at it, @BigT and I aren’t in a feud or a pissing contest. I did search and we rarely interact at all. I don’t really want to continue hijacking this important thread, but isn’t a pissing contest and a feud fundamentally different? To my mind a feud is an enduring situation, whereas a pissing contest can be a one off or short exchange. ---

While we are picking nits, I think on a message board is a feud is thing that goes on for a very long time over many subjects. A pissing contest is a single long argument and would be longer than just three posts. But reasonable people can disagree. ---

I don’t really care if this turnabout thing works. I have no doubt I’d lose the popularity contest to whatstheirname. ---

A question: if you don’t like me and you believe I’m seeking attention, why do you give me attention? High five addiction?
