You really think you’re going to get any sympathy? Perhaps you should have thought of that before you burnt the bridge you live under, Man Hands. ---

I don’t want sympathy. You’re still trolling. ---

> [@Carol\_Stream](#): > > you just admitted to trolling. Maybe you’ll get a “no warning issued”, but you’re still trolling. This is the stupidest thing ever. One of the _purposes_ of the Pit is to try and piss off whoever you are mad at. Why else would you personally insult them? So there’s no reason your definition of trolling should be verboten in the pit. So, obviously, your definition of trolling is not the one mentioned in the rules. Heck, you know that calling a person a troll is going to get a rise out of them, so by your definition, you are a troll. ---

Much of the debate was about who was a bigger asshole, and now we can’t talk about that since it’s in GD. As I said on the last page: > Some of the best debates are rude. Point taken. It was an experiment, I don’t think I’ll be doing that on a regular basis. Thanks for your comments. ---

Remember when there was no pit? All these threads were somewhere else. Nobody died. So, the question What’s Pit-worthy gets my vote on: Nothing. Everything could be elsewhere. ---

You fucking bump a two year old thread just for that? The nerve of some people. Using an old thread rather than starting a new one to expound their personal opinion about shit. ---
