> [@get\_lives](#): > > It’s a sick place, and its sickness makes me sad. It makes me wonder how much malice is hiding beneath the surface of the people I deal with every day, and just how deep it goes. Certainly none of you bring this kind of energy to your interactions IRL. Why not process the malice in some more productive way? So many of you seem to glory in it. How is that helping you in the long run? What is it accomplishing? You’re new here and you’re already whining about this place? ---

This seems to be a relatively low value pitting (though the actual details of the referenced study was enlightening), and I give the OP a 4.3 out of 10. Perhaps he or she will stay for a second round or, if not, he or she can enjoy our home-version of the game. Stay tuned to these words from our sponsors as we find out if **get lives** chooses to post here again. ---

You guys seriously think the OP’s new? I’m just curious what the old moniker was and the reason for departure. ---

Stay tuned to these words from our sponsors as we find out if **get lives** chooses to post here again. I’m afraid not. We all tried to tell him that every single time someone tried to go up the stairs they got blasted, and we have no reason to suppose it will be different next time, but he just wouldn’t listen. RIP **get lives** (now I understand your user name). You were one hell of a guy. And you made me realize, by posting in the Pit, and venting, how infantile it is, posting in the Pit, and venting. ---

Although Get Lives/Tralfy’s analogy doesn’t really hold up. He wasn’t going for the banana. He was trying to BE the banana at the top. Unfortunately ambition blinded him to the reality that monkeys really, really like to eat bananas. So I guess that makes him poo now… ---
