Warning: No Evil in The Pit!

If I knew how to search for recent posts that had referenced this thread ( there will be one made today.) , I’d be able to produce it in no time. If have to rely on my memory, I may as well take my warning.

No worries, I just got email from another poster that clearly remembered seeing a link to this thread in another current one. To quote every movie newspaper editor ever: “hot damn, we’ve got confirmation!”

So, warning retracted and apologies for the harsh tone.

Edit: the post in question.

Still, won’t someone grab the FUBAR and kill it?

No probs, Giraffe. We all make mistakes, me more so than most. Idle Thoughts - apology accepted.

Then the Pit. Now, my first thought about this forum was that it is a place where we can feel free to spew those nasty thoughts we all have from time to time. How cool, I thought, that they would allow a place for humans to embrace (and perhaps in the process purge) their shadow side. If I think to myself “Hell, I’d like to shoot this Ice Cream guy in the face for being a Mets fan!” then I can simply come in here and post it instead of actually loading up the .357 and going to ice (or should I say “cream”) his punk ass.

I agree with your rant in observation of this forum very much. I don’t know if more Mets fan shooting threads would make the place better.

However I think not.
If that’s what you want I suggest the /b/ forum on 4chan, but be warned it’s the asshole of the internet.

Second, not “everyone” has ugly thoughts. I have to do almost no self-editing on the boards. I say what I feel, and while I’ve been in no small amount of angry arguments, no one has yet seen fit to Pit me or call me a bigot. Heck, I’ve been a regular here for three years now, and I just got accused of trolling for the first time a few days ago. So don’t say these feelings are part of the “human experience,” because I’m human, and I haven’t experienced them.

To be honest, sometimes on my way to work, I fantasise about killing 30 or so people who don’t understand how to ride a train. I imagine smacking stupid people around on a daily basis. When someone annoys me, I mentally insult the shit out of them thinking up the things that would offend them them the most.

You know, da (can I call you da?) I generally like you pretty well, but reading this… all I can say is, one of us is laboring under some severe misconceptions about what counts as “normal human thoughts.” For all our sakes, I hope it’s you.

(bolding mine in the top quote)

There are really people who haven’t had a sudden urge to mount a missile on the top of their cars to clear a path through traffic? Or wondered what it would be like to pull a Whitman from the top of a clock tower? People whose thoughts and emotions coalesce so perfectly that there is no such thing as an inappropriately strong reaction?

Bullshit.
