You’re all posting to this a little too high-strung…this thread was made in fun, so fuck off. No one ever said anything about a kinder gnetler pit. No where does it say the pit cannot have fun threads, so fuck those of you who think that’s how it goes. ---

If you don’t like the fact that, even in jest, everything regarding you comes up short (VERY short in some instances), you can kindly swallow a gallon of nitro-glycerin and shove a heavy-duty vibrator up your ass. ---

Fun? If this thread were fun I would have enjoyed reading it. As it was I wasted two minutes waiting for it to load only to read the nonsensical ramblings of a poster who obviously should not be straying from MPSIMS. The thread where Coldfire and Lizard “sparred” was fun. This is right up there with a 6 hour Gore acceptance speech. And as for those of you that gave this a rating above a 3? Have you ever even read a good rant? What the fuck? Am I supposed to be impressed by someone who has to use Palm Olive in a rant? ---

This might be a little more amusing to ya, if all these halfwits would find something better to do than run around like headless chickens whining about how they’re so goddamn great. It’s like watching a row of decaying body bags try to waltz; not very interesting, and it smells bad too. Nothing of interest was happening here, so it seemed appropriate to give the little pissants a place to hop up and down turning red in the face. And if I get to trade some quips with the little punch-drunk gremlin, so much the better… …now go to the phonebook. Open it. Turn very carefully to “P” in the yellow pages. You with me so far? Now locate “Pest Removal”. Pick a company. Call them. When the truck arrives, take the end of the hose in your mouth, and suck. ---

Getting better, but you still need some work. The first two paragraphs sucked. 1.5 rating on them. The pest thing showed promise though, I give you a 6.4 on that. Total score? 4.3 ---

Lezziecunt, the difference is, _your_ women usually don’t start crying until after they sober up the next morning and realize what you really look like. oldcrotch, who the fuck are **you** to judge? Your insults are so tame they belong on PBS. You’d probably get along with the people there. After all, your head’s about as big as Ernie’s, about as pointy as Bert’s, and you’re even more yellow-bellied than Big Bird. ---

Oldcrotch. That’s a good one. Inventive and original. However, sesame street is very April of 1999. About a year behind the times there Freak. But, what else would one expect of a wannabe Swede. You’re lucky you were born in america. If your mother had lived in Sweden they would have sterilized her long ago. ---

Man, I was high and took a watery trip. Not really, but since I started “working” at Best Buy, I don’t have much time to fuck around on the board. Since I hate my current job, I’m trying to do a really good job, so I can get promoted to Vice-President or something. Whatever, just so long as I get off the goddamn phones. At any rate, I just been like workin’ and huffin’ and workin’ and sleepin’ and shit like that. Boring. But I’m a greedy bastard and need $$$ to buy shit I don’t need. Like a 42" TheatreWide TV, a stand for it, some speakers, some more RAM, a new video card, shit like that. but fuck man, it seems like every time I get money in my pocket, some bill takes it out. Fuck. Maybe when the wife starts gettin’ paid, I’ll be able to catch up and get ahead of the game. ---

have we killed off the trolls enough to have to debate over the merits of the OP? has ignorance suddenly disappeared, enabling us to pretend to flame each other for fun in the PIT? this thread could have easily been done in MPSIMS. jeez, where’s Phaedrus when you need him/her/it… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by TwistofFate \* > **has ignorance suddenly disappeared, enabling us to pretend to flame each other for fun in the PIT? this thread could have easily been done in MPSIMS…** I could not agree more **Twist**. I have seen so many “non-flames” around here that I do believe the **PIT** has become a sort of SIMS for newbie cursers, or worse - just a place to rant “tongue-in-cheek”. I have fought against this on a couple of occasions, only be told I am “too serious” or “no one else cares”. Sadly, it appears as if its true. The posters I would consider to be this **PIT** ’s defenders (namely Satan, Lexicon, John Larrigan, Coldfire, myself, etc.) appear to be either overwhelmed or at least not willing to take the constant time and effort to stem the flood of BS rants. Its sad - but its the way things currently are. What can be done ? - **NM** ---

If he did it in MPSIMS, it would’ve taken all the punch out of the joke (whether or not it had any, however, is a debate for another time and place). Besides, thinking that you can get rid of ignorance by flaming it is ridiculous. And **Nut’n’Bunny** , we’ve gone through this before. You’re still wrong. Besides, what makes you think Lexicon, Coldfire, and Satan are against flaming for the sake of fun? Furthermore, what on Earth makes you think you’re the Pit’s defender? I have yet to see one good flame from you. But hey, maybe I just haven’t been reading the right threads? ---

I’m not against flaming for the sake of fun. Its just that we have so much of this lateley its almost like having MPSIMS 2 instead of the PIT. > [@](#): > > thinking that you can get rid of ignorance by flaming it is ridiculous I’d disagree with you there, Freak. A lot can be learned in the Pit. A post dosen’t have to be in perfect prose with squeaky clean language for it to be informative or _shock_ educational. Flame posts are simply one of the tools. Maybe not the most effective, but still a tool. ---

I have no qualms for “flaming for the sake of fun”. However, I DO have qualms about people whining when they get flamed themselves for doing so. After all, it’s all in fun. Dickhead! (See, that was in fun too, jackass… as was that, moron… and that… etc.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yo-monster104-step-right-this-way/30414.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yo-monster104-step-right-this-way/30414.md?page=3)
