Hey, be there or B[sup]2[/sup]!
Since this thread is still open, I’ll point out another example of what is NOT Pitworthy–college students whining. Well, that, and whining in general.
Hell, pit it even if it hasn’t come around yet. Today was the first day of the fall semester where I work. Last night, a circling helicopter kept me awake until after midnight. I finally fell asleep after 1:00 or so. Then I woke up at 5am, though...
Most of the posters in that thread, including the OP, are faculty, not students. I’m sure that makes not a whit of difference to you, but it does make you look like a an old fogey with a head of steam for whippersnappers, and there are none.

I’ll have to get up at 7 am to get to class on time Tuesday and Thursday. Then I’ll have my usual fall job corn sorting starting at 6 am on the weekends. Have a Thursday night class that goes to 9:30 PM.
I’m not a morning person.
I’m debating between driving a metal spike through my head or going to my calc two class, I got a boring teacher. It’s his first time teaching Calc II, I’m sure he knows what he’s talking about but… ugh, today was my first day of that class and the one and a half hours felt like 6 years. He doesn’t even ask the class to participate he just drones. On. Endlessly. Maybe he’s just getting his bearings.
So it isn’t like it’s a free easy ride, even if you consider homework easy*. They have to work to pay that back.
*big if, English Composition about killed me. >.<
Anyway, back to whining. Tonight is my first night class of the year.
I was up until 3:30 last night attempting to hit a deadline on a project at work. No time for a nap today, so I’m off to class on 3 hours of sleep. Yawn. At least this time I’m taking the class, not teaching it. No big deal if I drift off a little in the back row. I hope the prof doesn’t take it personally, though.
That’s enough whine for a Papal mass.
Out of 55 posts, you found four, and two of them are by the same person?
They weren’t even on your lawn, old dude!

It’s not the number of posts, or posters, or their age. It’s the whining. Doesn’t belong in the Pit.
Carol_Stream:
I submit that each and every one of these posts are MUNDANE AND POINTLESS. Not a one was even vaguely close to “entertaining”, by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, a few of them had only an extra word or three beyond my summation above, i.e. “X is annoying”. That’s just whining.
If you won’t move Mini-Rants to MPSIMS, will you at least edit the title?
“August Whiners Club” is about right.
Would you shut the fuck up about this already? You’ve been on this kick for years. Many people like the mini-rants thread in the pit. I think MMP is silly, but I don’t try to get it shut down.
I think moving the vegetarian thread to GD was a bad idea. 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:
I come here for the debates. They are generally better than in GD. Please don’t remove the best debates from here. I think people’s assumptions are really challenged here. Often people post rants and really don’t expect it when post #2 disagrees with their entire premise (They don’t agree that my Sow-Worker is a jerky-jerk? Really? Maybe I’m the jerky-jerk? Well, I never!). I like this aspect of the Pit.
Some of the best debates are rude.
No.
Post MPSIMS in MPSIMS, and you’ll never even hear from me. I don’t shit in MPSIMS, but I don’t get why the MPSIM’ers think they can shit in the Pit.
If I believed that, I would hold a gun to the mod’s heads until they capitulated.
Find an instance where I’ve ever posted in MPSIMS.

Anyway, i think Fear Itself ’s point was, that if people posting MPSIMS in MPSIMS would really mean that we would "never even hear from [you], he would force the Mods to enforce the rule more strictly so that you would keep your promise.

Oh boy, I posted 4 times in MPSIMS in three years. So shoot me. It still doesn’t explain why the MPSIMS crowd thinks that they should have free rein to “forum-shit” the Pit.
I took you at your word; if all the whining was sent to MPSIMS, you would never post again. Seemed like a good deal.
You’re being deliberately obtuse. If any whiny poster sticks to MPSIMS, they won’t hear from me, because I don’t post there.
Once again, why do you think that MPSIMS tards should have free rein to shit in the Pit?
Or just wishful thinking.
The fact that it gets under your scaly hide makes it worthwhile for me.
Just because something pisses you off doesn’t mean it was intended that way. Everything is not about you.
you just admitted to trolling. Maybe you’ll get a “no warning issued”, but you’re still trolling.

Don’t whine about something you asked for.
I have no particular dog in this fight, and i happen to agree that MPSIMSy stuff should stay out of the Pit. But you said, “Find an instance where I’ve ever posted in MPSIMS.” I found four.
I’m just a spectator. I enjoy a good meltdown as much as the next guy. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
