What were you THINKING?

Well, he’s definitely had it up to his gills with something.

Finally, someone who gets me!

Really hooked you with that reply, eh?

Exactly.

Just a quick IMHO thing about concerns about personal attacks, including mean-spirited ones.

While (you can look at the pinned notes!) you can see changing versions of the Pit over the years, it is absolutely a place which you participate at your own risk. There are very interesting posters that refuse to post here for that reason.

It also has some of the most freewheeling conversations, with it’s loosened rules, tolerance for hijacks, and freedom from normal forum rules.

So, yeah. There are real risks, and I won’t downplay them. But you get additional freedoms to be yourself, and/or let your freak out.

I don’t see any method at all.

Go fetch your goddamned pest animal’s shit off my lawn, you fucking Canadian sonofabitch. You like a @\wolfpup? I don’t think so. You’re an errand boy.

Adults are speaking, and a beast like you and yours can cancel you and your pest “companion”'s waste statim.

Probably the kind of person who shows up in every Boebert/MTG/Alina Habba thread and suggests “I’d never wish that on anybody, and I hope it gets better.”

It’s a disgusting travesty that “people” would “wish for a speedy recovery” of something like that piece of inhuman puke that is named “Lauren Boebert.”

I’ve known many people named “Lauren” over the years. Not one of them has anything in common with that entity which pretended to resemble a human.

Fix that with your AI, you bunch of Boebert rubes. “I’d never wish that on anybody.”

Horseshit. I laughed my ass off when that fat fuck Limbaugh got addicted to painkillers because St. Blaise didn’t approve of the shit coming out of his esophagus, and I don’t know anyone IRL conversation-worthy who didn’t feel the same way.

Oh, well, I’d never think Boebert or anyone should have any misfortune come its way, but blah blah.

Fuck off and talk politics, you white-washing sumbitch cornholer. No need to dwell on whatever its fake malady du jour is (why, after all, should one believe something coming out of the ass end of that goddamned group of idolators and fornicators?). Just move on.

Now you’re just baiting him.

Well, you don’t belong here anymore @ColdBrew50, because, let’s be honest, you have been saying you aren’t a troll and then immediately troll the thread. No point in dealing with you, and I can’t be assed to put together a pit thread for you, so, with no further ado, a nice ignore. So easy!

Ditto, shithead.

Enjoy your pleasant new life. I’m sure that was a difficult decision for you to make, but I’m grateful to be one of the first to hear the news of your exciting discovery.

God, you are disturbing.

Time for the old-fashioned DNFTT (do not feed the troll) approach.

I came to da pit to roast posters who don’t use a real life kitteh as their avatar.
They are all so beautiful and it fills me with happiness to look at them.
I actually made a thread once asking how many there were; twas a lot.
I know, I no longer have my no-fucks-left cat avatar but wanted to be more…accurate.
Miss Coppertone.

I did start a thread.

And I can’t imagine I’ve been anywhere but here in this thread and my own saying anything about it.
Now, before you waste your time searching I may have. Once. I don’t care.
If you and everyone else can say their piece. So can I.

I’m really really tired of people telling me what to post and where to post.
Think, real hard, how you’d feel if people did that to you.

Go ahead. Post how and what you want. I can still dislike it or laugh at it, enjoy it. At my whim.

I just prefer not to read nasty words that mean hurtful things to people not even in the conversation. I can look away and not read them. Easily. And I do.
But I want to state my opinion on it. I have.

I swear to you and all reading I will never ever bring it up again.

(BTW I never said “people complained”, I said I was modded for it)

Yep same here. I haven’t blocked anyone in 25 years and I now just blocked two in one day. It took me a couple of minutes cuz I literally didn’t know how to do it at first.

Every time I saw certain posters pop up my blood pressure would start to rise, and I said to myself this is not healthy I need to do this.

I generally despise the phrase “ignorance is bliss” but I think I understand it better now. And I’m glad I have the self-control not to click that little “show post” button. I still think people should be given the benefit of the doubt generally speaking, but when they’ve shown themselves it’s time to move on. I have better places to be and better things to do both here on the board and off the board then continue to engage with blatant aggressive trolling.

Where do these kinda posters come from?
I don’t look at other social media…is it allowed to say those kinda things about someone just because they hate a political figure or other famous person?

This is the thread for pondering what the hell is up Coldbrew50’s ass, right? Because for someone supposedly in their 40s they’re radiating EXTREME levels of Boomer energy in the Jake Paul vs. Tyson thread.

I’m at best a casual observer of the sport of boxing, and I’m no fan of the Pauls (in fact I find their Youtube content rather loathsome) except in that I grudgingly respect their business acumen and their dedication to their athletic careers. That being said, it just rubs me the wrong way that, for someone who claims he “DGAF” about Jake Paul, he can’t even seem to bring himself to mention his name without infantilizing him and referring to him as “a child” or “the littler Paul” or small or weak or completely inexperienced. I like to think that my generation would have learned from how shittily older generations treated us and not grown up to do the same thing to younger people, but I guess in his case the memo didn’t make it through.

Really, this is the thread for that burning question? Perhaps you’re allowed a mistake, being a mere child or whatever.

Yeah, I’m in my mid forties and I don’t care for most things. Young or old. It’s a big job just getting by with nine kids and a wife.

It’s not that difficult to understand.

You could have explained to me in the relevant thread that you’re tired of older folks just tossing you youngers in a mental bucket and confusing them. Understandable.

No frame of reference, Donny. You could have been older, younger, deceased, or a dog. How would I know?

I will still sit here and drink my coffee in this family establishment.

Oh, I get it now. So so interesting.

You really need to have a good hard look at yourself. I pity you.

Should I get off your lawn while I’m at it, grandpa? I’ll make you a deal - I’ll turn down my rock & roll music and cut my hair, and in exchange you can tell all the stories you want about how President Coolidge wouldn’t have let the hippies get out of control.

Well, actually, that was kind of amusing.

That sounds like a fair trade. Providing you shave my ass and get that Beckwrek off that hopper grass that grows wild near Boggy Creek.

Now go on now! Git!
