Now, maybe you’re a Vulcan and have never given into such a base impulse, but most humans reach this point at one time or another. Hence, this forum. It gives people an outlet to yell at idiots and assholes without disrupting the other more discussion-oriented forums. I actually find this to be a very compelling argument. I also agree with **Measure for Measure** - if you want me shun this poster at least put up some sort of link. What do you want me to do, just be like OK this poster is some sort of lowlife just because _you_ say so? It strikes me as queenbeeish. I’m not about to go do some research if you’re not gonna put any effort into this pitting, I’m just going to assume you’re being mean towards this poster because I think everyone deserves at least a half-decent pitting. ---

> [@Mr.Nylock](#): > > It is neither. I originally thought people were more focused on things other than insulting people, and would tend to attack specific arguments or views. This thread is kind of attacking the person as a whole, in a rather unspecific, uncited way and advocating for shunning someone. It’s dragging someone into the pit, this etv did not come to the pit and have some specific view attacked. I don’t know this Etv78, but I think that not saying anything more specific than that you don’t like his/her postings and wanting to shun someone does not seem mature to me, it reminds me of high school kids who do not have not developed emotions and empathy and just emote what they feel. It is not a compliment, even though its not the type of thing that increases my respect for the culture of the board - whatever that is. It is not a complaint either, it is not my place to complain. It’s just the thought I had. One of the purposes of the Pitt is to throw vitriol at another poster so as to keep said vitriol from polluting the other forums. ---

> [@Mr.Nylock](#): > > I also agree with **Measure for Measure** - if you want me shun this poster at least put up some sort of link. On of the main issue people seem to have is that he trolls mommy/parenting boards. Here is a short, 15 post, Pitt thread about it. > **[Etv78- question for you](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=719791)** > > I suppose I shouldn’t expect an actual answer, but might as well give it a go. In this thread, you claim that you’ve got a much better handle on your mental health issues and will have no problem being a positive role model as a teacher. However, a... Oddly he uses the same user name on all these other boards. So google his name and you can find them. Here is where he admits to trolling other boards.

Anyway: I applied to the M.Ed program at the college I’m about to receive my BA from. Aspire to teach Social Studies or Civics. Also he posts a lot of stupid stuff. ---

I just cannot wrap my head around this. Why troll mommy boards of all places? There’s nothing cool or hip about them, and there’s nothing super lame about them either. And there’s nothing about that crowd that people love to hate. There just mommies. General masses do not even flock to those type of boards. He has no chance rising in Internet Fame over there. ---
