V8 said: > [@](#): > > (Flypside)[Is about an hour “lurking a while” to you. Then yes. And no, **I wasn’t talking about you personally, so don’t get so defensive.** Bolding mine. But this was your **first** post in the tread so how could you be **talking about anybody personally**? This fucking thread is starting to make a bit more sense. ---

Hey , Flypsyde does this means great minds think alike or fools seldom differ ? ---

At the risk of encouraging a troll, I want to give a dissenting opinion… I think this idea where there’s a place without limits is silly. I mean would you do this in other areas of society? Would you have a “fuck you” day every other Friday, where everyone you meet you greet with an insult? Would you have one room in your house where all rules are put to the side? It reminds me of that infantile thing, “opposite day”: “I know you said hug me, but this is opposite day, so I’ll slug you instead. Ha ha” I’m not a prude, but “fuck” every other word is not my idea of freedom or openness or emotion. Words have meaning; words are very powerful instruments, and “fuck you” means something. There’s a reason you don’t hear it in everyday conversation. And another thing, while I’m rambling here: The line that really annoys me that seems to come up in every other pit postings is “I would agree with you, but this is the pit, so fuck you!” All right, I am: a) siding with a troll b) in disagreement with nearly every member of the board c) in the pit. Fire away! ---

For some reason, the first thing that came to my mind when I read the thread title was that kid on the _Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids_ cartoon. The one that put “Buh” into the middle of every word - can’t remember his name. Why do some use ‘fuck’ every other word? “BeFUCKcause theFUCKey waFUCKant toFUCKo.” It was really funny in my head. I swear. ---

In this case does DNFTT stand for do not fuck the troll? Keith Pit really sucks when it’s applied to the posters here, and thats just my fucking opinion. ---

I have to agree. I am appalled at the base language expressed here in the pit. Using such four lettered words to express disdain, dislike or even outright disgust is in the worst of spirit! I think we need to go back, to older words, less used words… like: Peckerwood Dink Lummox Bumpkin Ananias Scab Tinhorn Coxcomb I think we all know to whom this applies. FTR, I wouldn’t dare say, “fuck” to you. I’d be in fear you’d take me up on an offer I hadn’t made. ---

Blanchard: > [@](#): > > “Checking their Wow Power” as Ann Landers describes it. Okay, Grandma, what in the fuck is a fucking Ann Landers quote doing in the Pit? What’s your next brilliant contribution to society? Pushing Grandpa into a Limp Biskit mosh? And that Willard Scott fucking quote as your sig. Damn, woman! Drink some Mallox, empty your bedpan, and go take a fucking nap. ::gently grabs Blanche by the shoulders, faces her towards “[knittingmyassoff.com](http://knittingmyassoff.com)” and sends her on her way:: ---
