OK, not all but three in the past day. ---

Perhaps because you act like a moron in them. ---

Because you continue to make the Baby Jesus cry, and the mods don’t like that, especially this close to Easter. ---

Go back and read the last three you posted, not counting this one. If the question still occurs to you, I seriously doubt you’ll ever know. ---

It must be because you Said Too Much. Clearly, you have information the Mods don’t want others to know about. Go back and reread the threads – you should be able to figure out which of your incredibly unique and insightful comments contained the nuggets of forbidden knowledge. That is all I can tell you. I’ve already Said Too Much. ---

[I don’t](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=176907) [even have to read](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177143) [your threads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177150) [to understand.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=177382). Threads that have absolutely no point are often frowned upon. And if you WANT to start a thread that has no point, it goes in MPSIMS. Hence the “mundane pointless” thing. Also, it might be because you don’t have the SUPER SECRET DECODER RING yet. ---

However, the **Bush = Bad** thread was pretty funny along the lines of the “a” thread that got over 7,000 posts or something, but seems to have died and gone away. Devoid of substance, but funny. ---

Creating a whole bunch of Pit threads about essentially nothing in that short a period of time? Dude… your rants may have substance, but it’s the kind of substance that’s found at the very bottom of the barrel. (mold, algae, strange growths, etc.) F\_X ---

**TJ555 The Golfer** , knock it off. You really seem to suck at hints, so let me put it a little more clearly: **STOP STARTING USELESS THREADS IN THE PIT, AND PREFERABLY THE OTHER FORA AS WELL.** Failure to heed the advise above may result in the revocation of your posting privileges. And, surprise surprise: this one’s closed too.
