> [@Miller](#): > > No, we don’t actually call it either of those things, regardless of who does it. Really? You don’t think it’s threadshitting for someone to post in a thread for no other reason than to harass the OP, because they felt that the OP harassed them in the Pit? When they have _literally nothing_ to say about the topic of the thread itself? Because if you can find _a single phrase_ in any of **Una** ’s posts in that thread that in any way address the topics of (a) why \*\*Tuba \*\*locked the previous thread or (b) whether moderators should be required to recuse themselves if they have a demonstrable interest in the discussion, I’d like to see it. > [@](#): > > I just wanted to correct your assumption that, “Because it’s the Pit,” is an adequate response to the question, “Why are you being such a bitch?” Of course it’s an adequate response. You just don’t like it because my behavior isn’t your behavior. When people say stupid things in the Pit, I’m allowed to point out that they’re stupid; and when I do so, you’re allowed to think I’m a terrible boor. Everybody wins! > [@jsgoddess](#): > > Come for the mini-rants, stay for the over-the-top attacks on your intelligence, integrity, and life. > > As a caption, I think it needs work. I dunno, I like it. > [@Ogre](#): > > Jesus. Please get your ego under control. No. > [@fluiddruid](#): > > 'sides, it wasn’t really a serious question; it was an observation, like “What’s the deal with airline food?” No, \*\*Una \*\*has said that it was a 100% serious question. She literally _did not get_ that it was all a joke. > [@Hello\_Again](#): > > Because lord knows, there has never been an internet meme, ever in her lifetime, and it is flat-out impossible to tell if the phrase “Cooks Source invented waterproof tea bags” is an attempt at humor unless you have knowledge of facebook. > > Apologists, come on. It was a STUPID question that was perfectly mockworthy. Exactly. How anyone thinks the question wasn’t worth of mockery is beyond me. > [@sleestak](#): > > I don’t think I’ve seen a single thread that you have participated in that has been better due to your posting. Then you need to get out more. Put me on ignore; I’m being 100% truthful when I say I’ll take it as a compliment, coming from you. > [@BigT](#): > > As I pointed out in another thread, you can still be banned for trolling here in the Pit. Which puts to a lie your idea that this is the place where you are supposed to treat people poorly. That’s just a side effect of it’s real purpose–to let posters let off steam. And the way I let off steam is by not keeping my mouth shut when I see people say stupid things. It’s not trolling–it’s just that I leave etiquette, politeness, and a general consideration for other people’s pwecious widdle feelings at the door when I come into this particular section of the boards. Because I \*like \*having one area where I can call a spade a spade, where I don’t have to smile and pretend that what someone just said \*doesn’t \*make me want to punch them in the teeth. (Well, okay, I can’t actually do that, because wishing bodily harm on others is against the rules–but I \*can \*call them out when they’re being fucking retarded.) > [@](#): > > Una had no reason not to call your question stupid outside the Pit. Agreed–but that’s not what she did. She also made personal attacks on me.

She schooled me what stupid questions were, and I now follow her teachings. How can you fault me for trying to reach for that rainbow? She’s special! 100% of what I’ve quoted is about _me_. 0% of it is about _my arguments_ in the ATMB threads. > [@](#): > > In fact, if I were her, I’d get a lot of satisfaction out of the fact that you got so upset you started another Pit thread. She’s only doing to you what you did to **rachellelogram** and others. Please show anywhere outside the Pit where I’ve attacked **rachel**. Oh wait, you can’t. Because _I_ understand how to tell the difference between the Pit and the rest of the boards. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/una-go-drink-a-juicebox/560481)._
