I’ve only been here for a little bit. I’m curious: has there been a thread-to-end-all-threads with regards to angry posting, swearing, personal attacks, and the like? Joey ---

Since their is no factual answer possible, let’s move this to IMHO. Hopefully, it won’t degenerate and need to be moved to the Pit. **samclem** GQ moderator ---

Crumbs. I’d just have a stroll through the BBQ Pit if I were you, **FrantzJ**. The further back you go, you’ll find contenders. ---

Not my proudest moment as a Doper. ---

[QUOTE=AHunter3] Search for BBQ Pit threads containing the words “memo” and “self”. As in “memo to self: do not ever do anything to piss off **\** ” [/QUOTE] The woman sperm thread is probably among the nastiest in recent memory, but there a was also one where a long time member got upset and started using a 500 point font to express their displeasure. The latter is not _the_ nastiest, but (IMO) was certainly among the most surprising. ---

In thinking about it, despite the fact that a mod passed muster on this thread (and I already posted to it), this may not be the most useful thread keep alive as it’s just going to roil up a lot of old hurt feelings that have been mostly put to bed. ---

Cause that was the one I was thinking of in response to the OP, and in thinking about it, it made me think that this thread is not a particularly good idea, because that particular thread (and others like it) is - I think toxic is the best word to describe it. I won’t link to it, because it is something best forgotten rather than dug up to stink up this joint again. ---

And I had links all ready to go, and I deleted them, for exactly this reason. I, too, am reconsidering if I should have posted even that much, and am rather sorry I did. O, for a “delete” function! ---
