I just need to vent. So give me minute and then you can all go back to your regularly scheduled pit posts. And no I’m not going to name them or link threads. I don’t have a truly personal issue with them. It’s just all the glurge gets a bit tiresome. There is a poster in GQ who keeps posting one retarded non-sequitur and off the point observation after another, after another, after another, after another like a bored gorilla hurling feces at the wall. Occasionally some little bit sticks but the rest just splatters down to a huge stinking pile of errant glurge on the floor. And yes I’ve been guilty of making off topic comments and giving a few incorrect answers in the time I’ve been here but for the love of GOD enough already, isn’t your post count sufficiently large at this point! Why do you have to continue with this online babbling? What the hell is the damned point. For new posters coming in you’re making us all look like idiots and other posters have to warn new people off you. The worst part is not every point you make is off topic or wrong and occasionally you even have some crumb of salient advice but it all gets lost in your reputation for being a human crapwave. You’re an intelligent person why do you do this to yourself? What is the need to comment on every freakin’ topic under the sun even if you have nothing at all to add other than another post count under your belt? ---

Oh this is not sounding good at all. Now let me get this straight. A poster who understands himself but others dont is a gorilla?? Oh Oh wait. A poster who posts who seems to make no sense but may be above some of our heads is a gorilla? Oh no wait somemore, I _roo roo_ seem _roooo raaww_ to crave a \*\*_raawww rooo_ banana. _Now don’t get mad I couldn’t help myself!_ 🙂 ---
