When does one become an "established" poster?

[Ren] I-I-I-I-I-I get the credit! [/Ren]

Problem solved.

Swampy, you are not only an Established poster, you are a Respectable poster. Gratz!

Personally, I keep adding both of them to my “List”, but evidently I’ve been Naughty for a few years straight…

@Mr.Nylock

The only disappointment I can recall in recent memory regarding the Straight dope is when you started posting in this thread. But, to leave things on a positive note, I would like to thank you for kindly bowing out.

I changed my mind.

@Sicks_Ate

**Nylock **is taking that “You’re not established until you’ve been pitted” idea pretty seriously.

Or is it more like starting a fight with the biggest guy on your first day in prison?

@leftfield6

Well crap. My strategy of getting myself established by walking up and punching one of the old members right in the nuts has been co-opted by Mr Nylock.

Meh. As a mod I’m not allowed to Pit anyone. And we’re issued cups as part of the uniform.

[QUOTE=Mr. Nylock]
In all seriousness, I myself would wish the thread to be closed on this point - a fit and proper ending to the whole discussion IMHO.

In all seriousness, you probably do want to stop posting before you get any more “established” in people’s minds.

I’m hoping like *hell *you’re wearing more than a cup and jackboots.

Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

No, I’m wearing my staff pickelhaube too.

[AncientHumanoid]

Me, too

Well, I must not be established because I sure didn’t know that!

Mmm, such a mind picture! You been working out?

So you’re Eddie Vedder.

Eh, not quite the same.

We’re allowed to participate in Pit threads, but not to start any threads pitting a poster. The rule has been in place since 2003.

Sort of. You’ve heard of six-pack abs? I have pony-keg abs.

Do you write erotic fiction about that?

Meh, I was going to write something snarky in response to this, but I’d rather just call a truce if that is amenable to you. My desire to trade barbs has faded.

Fair enough.

Yeah, the Kama-Brewstra.

And just which former event in the annals of SDMB does this one eclipse? When will the next milestone be reached and for what event?

I have a suspicion it may involve Zsa Zsa…

For my part, it’s a sitzkrieg.
