Eh, I see that as the thread working as planned. All I want is a place to call other posters out who have (temporarily) gone off the rails. If you’re “gone baby gone” you have your own Pit thread.

Aside @Love_Rhombus, Magiver is worthy of bringing up, but they’ve been an ass enough to have [their own Pit thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-magiver/937851).

So Hatchie did some things that generated serious ire - but I don’t think they’re trolling (although I had my concern they were heading that way due to the high emotions) so I have -this- thread so we don’t have 2-3 day digressions in the parent threat about a poster being a temporary ass which is not the same as trolling.

🤷‍♂️

And then the thread will be quiet for a while, and later I, or @Whack-a-Mole, or any of us will say something dumb and we’ll take our turn in the hot seat for a few days and then wait for the next screw up.
