Sometimes it’s like GD with the gloves off (and I don’t mean the kind you wear on your hands). Occasionally produces some [educational](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=677863) and [intellectually stimulating](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=677798) threads, from the unlikeliest of beginnings. Those are the ones you must be careful to avoid; the best Pit threads just wallow in the ranting and the screaming. But you knew that, you stupid asshole. ---

The Pit is sexy in a way that is crude and unsophisticated and if you can’t handle it, then get lost! The Pit’s too sexy for élan, Too sexy for élan, you dork, so get banned. ---
