I’m as pro-Pit as they fucking come, but that’s the pit as outlet. Not the pit as _sole_ past-time.  
“sometimes” is the operative word there, I’d say.

Not that Kirk thread as _sole_ past-time.

I’m not posting to get a reaction and I have not indicated I am posting only for lib tears, very much the contrary. I have been engaging in good faith with anyone who has shown an interest in that. I do not care if I wasn’t always polite, I do not have to be in the pit.

If you think I cannot be a little angry at the Kirk shooting and all the offensive shit I saw on this board I do not know what else to tell you.

You are right though, the evidence is overwhelming, 25 years of being a rules abiding poster.

That’s all I’m gonna say.

Which means that you, _more than any newbie posting here_, should know better than to spread the hateful and nasty shit you are currently spewing.

Can mods see users ignore numbers, or are you just going by the poll?

We get an automated notice when a poster has been ignored by five other posters. It triggers for every five people that put them on ignore, so if fifteen people ignore someone, we get three notifications about it.

I think if you step into the other thread and call me a fascist a few more times I will finally get it.

If you guys must engage with him can you please do it in the other thread you’ve allowed him to hijack?

Perhaps @Miller might just close the Charlie Kirk thread for a few days? That technique seems to have been effective with other runaway discussions. No banning/ignoring/suspending needed!

> A lot of the new troll (non-trock) posters are blowing up multiple threads in multiple forums, and run afoul of the less forgiving forum rules. Pedro, probably for good reason, is keeping it in the Pit - where he benefits, _exactly like the rest of us_ from much more relaxed moderation.

Your “probably” has a very straightforward explanation; I do not venture outside the pit much because this board is now composed of 95% obese antifa rejects on welfare permanently a hair’s breath away from going into a fit of apopletic impotent rage. Plus a few token communists like LHoD of course.

Wasn’t like this 20 years ago but I suppose we all have to live in the dumbest timeline now.

I have an interest in the Kirk thread, mainly as an experiment on how much intellectual dishonesty a single group of people can manifest before they collapse into the singularity, and I do not post on anyone else’s schedule.

Get back to your thread and get out of this one. I will elevate this to the Modloop otherwise.

@Pedro is suspended pending modloop discussion. Enough is enough. He couldn’t stay in his thread apparently. (PM exchange elevated this.)

Whew, thanks, @What_Exit and a thought that hit me as I was reading the sauerkraut responses: What about splitting all those posts off to a new thread in Cafe Society? Title it, oh, how about “Fun With Sauerkraut” maybe? Then this thread could get back (more or less) on track, while I could garner more suggestions for adventures in kraut cooking? If it’s not too much hassle for you?

Thanks. No rush; the can of sauerkraut can wait a bit longer (it’s already been in the cabinet for a few months).

ETA: Oh! It’s been done! THANK YOU MOST EXCELLENT OF MODS!!!
