Well, CrankyAsAnOldMan, my dear, should I return the favor that you did for me? I hope the next time someone starts a pit thread with my name in it I get a chance to pull out the ninja stars and the asbestos undies. BTW, are you feeling better? No more flu, I hope. ---

That’s the main reason I DON’T go to the pit. Although I seriously doubt I’m important enough to start a thread about, the thought terrifies me. It’s like walking through the ghettos at night and… ah, nevermind. ---

I’m just happy if I see my name mentioned by anyone. I love seeing people mention my name. And I like mentioning people’s names so they can feel the same way. Hello, Jack Batty! :^D I never write anything mean or controversial enough anymore to invoke a Pit thread. Maybe way back then, but not now, because I can’t take being flamed very well. ---

Well, I’ve noticed that I seem just a BIT politically opiniated, so I’m shocked that any of the liberals (or conservatives…don’t endear myself to them much better) haven’t dragged me thru the pit 🙂 After all, the defense of liberty is a rather thankless job…can’t expect everyone to approve 🙂 ---

slythe – okay, that’s about enough of you flinging around your “moderator” status! I think I should drag your sorry, silly ass into the Pit for a good old fashioned butt ream… but I don’t have the right equipment… damn! 😉 FWIW I’ve seen my name in the Pit too much (course, I START most of the threads so…) Well, what’s a bitch supposed to do? 🙂 ---

I never search anything for my name. Do you think I’m missing something? Anyone out there love/hate me? Should I be worried/thrilled? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-and-the-pit/44438.md?page=2)
