Youā€™ve never had a dissenting opinion? (not you **Khadaji** ; generally) Really, I know itā€™s the pit and all, and I know the modus operandi here is pile-on-free-for-all-someone-else-is-getting-their-ass-handed-to-them, but this seems (again) over the top. > > Forgive me if I am naive, but regrettable posts are one thing.

However, he ignored the gentler and not so gentle warnings in the original thread and then pitted the mod who chastised him. I think that is what people percieved as an invitation to pile on. And is why I said to him to ā€œPlease let it go, you are not winning friends here.ā€ Which by the way, I note that he has done. Maybe we should too. šŸ™‚ ---

Hello Everyone. This has been a very educational experience for me. In some ways it doesnā€™t surprise me. In some ways it does. Why am I so viled ? Why do you think I deserve such a shitting? Am I fundamentally an evil person? I did what I did in the spirit of anyone who believes in the golden rule. I challenged someone on their choice of username? Does not anyone think in this case that the user of this user name was working on creating a significant reaction? I gave him(her) what he wanted IMHO! Am I to deny his request as I understand it? That was between me and him. Iā€™m sorry. Iā€™m sorry that you all think Iā€™m deserving of a pitting that you wouldnā€™t give to someone one an intsy teenie whit short of a clean slate. but if Iā€™m deserving of what you all want to give me here, then Iā€™m out of here. I donā€™t have a chance in hell of winning your respect because knowing my fair and impartial humanistic heart, iā€™m not going to change. Knowing my good heart, Iā€™m not ashamed. Not one God damned bit. To the few of you who have bravely tried to mitigate my infamy, I wonā€™t forget. You found fault with me, but you donā€™t hate me. I wonā€™t acknowledge you however, because I wonā€™t be doing you any favours. Thanx. And **gobear** , I donā€™t know why you disrespect me and for some stupid reason it hurts, but you deserve to know that I valued and applauded your input at the SDMB. So hereā€™s a toast to all of you to keep this wonderful message board going. And hereā€™s a toast to hoping that grienspace never posts here again !!! ---

I been pitted _twice_ as much as you and the OPs of those threads were shortly banned thereafter, which I find significant somehow, seeing as Iā€™m not a Mod but I hope to be one day. ---

Just report it to a mod and move along. _If_ USAMA was just trolling for a reaction, why give it to him in such a grandiose manner as a pre-emptive Pit strike? > [@](#): > > Iā€™m sorry that you all think Iā€™m deserving of a pitting that you wouldnā€™t give to someone one an intsy teenie whit short of a clean slate. Donā€™t really understand the syntax here. But no one Pitted you. There was, however, a reaction to _your_ Pitting(s), right in the very threads you started. _That_ happens all the time. But donā€™t leave, just go hang out in ATMB for a while. Thereā€™s less room to make a fucking douchebag of yourself there. ---
