Appreciation Thread for WilliamPitt
Someone had to do it. If there are enough DU Recs, I'm sure he'll come right back to share his ideas with us all. Really
I believe the Minnesota Moses is being sarcastic. :fuelfire:

Skinner needs to institute a new policy effective immediately.
If someone posts a GBCW thread, they should be banned and their IP address blocked. :rofl:

That'll empty the room faster than a fart in an elevator. All of the DUmp's biggest stars post at least one GBCW thread. I think this is Pitt's third exit - excluding the two bannings - that I recall.

32. Yup and I hate just hate the bullies
If you cannot stand a person, put them on ignore. (Advise I have tried myself and does not always work, but if it works in your case, just put them on ignore)
And we have a band of happy bullies that do what they do and thrives on the number of scalps they get.
And that is all I am going to say about it. I have been, for many years, on the receiving end (why I know ignore does not always work)

nads, if you log out and lurk in order to see what people are saying about you, you aren't really using the ignore feature correctly.

Blob, blob, blob......... Foster Blowhard just got reminded of his most epic fail, THE most epic fail in all of (D)Udom.
It's not bullying. It's business, idiot.

I hope he stays because that DUchebag has provided a lot of belly laughs to me.
I think the chances of the accused pederast, no not Harry Reid but Pittstain, coming back is right between 99 and 101 percent.

Pitt is a Sandersnista. Is there a chance $kinner is beginning his purge by having non-Hillary supporters leave on their own with just some not so subtle jabs at their fragile egos? How many other recent GBCW DUmmies were Bernie boosters? :tinfoil2:
-
Well crap. I missed the GBCW post.
Not to worry. The egotist will return.
Let me guess.... 3 Aug. maybe the 4th.
Come on back, Pitty boy.

At Conservative Underground back in 2006 or 2007, Pitt showed up under the name 'Rover'.
It was a sad, pathetic spectacle.

You can bet that the Triumvirate running DU has multiple sockpuppets for just such purposes.

There is a tavern in this town named The Will Pitt Tavern. (for Revolutionary War history buffs this is actually a good read pics are hot linked IIRC) Maybe Will can find work there as a docent.

Sadly, no. It was all lost in 2008 when their server HD crashed.
You might be able to find something cached on Google.

It's not surprising the CalPig was too stupid to catch RockHead's sarcasm.

208. Pitt clearly saw DU as his launching pad to something years ago
He really really really thought he was going to become part of the pundit class. The kind of dude who shows up on Rachel Maddow (which didn't exist when this all started but whatever) once a month to discuss the issues of the day. It didn't happen.
His books didn't go anywhere, and one of them turned out to be co-authored by a pedophile.
The truth-out Rove thing was really his last grasp at the brass ring, and that blew up so spectacularly that it's hard to even comprehend what happened.
So, he's spent the last decade basically as another dude with a blog with a small group of fans on the site that was supposed to launch him all those years ago.
Frankly, it's probably for the best that he not hang around here.

Question.
If it doesn't have hair is it still called a scalp or is it just called a skin?

"And we have a band of happy bullies that do what they do and thrives on the number of scalps they get."
I have it on good authority that casually referring to the act of 'Scalping' is inherently racist.

My, how Atman's turned into a regular old grouchy sourass.
Atman (28,732 posts) Tue Jul 28, 2015, 0243 PM
Unfortunately, I cannot express my appreciation.
Because I have been "friends" with Mr. Pitt since the days of Bush 1. He was one of the first people to purchase my bumper stickers and anti-Bush goodies.
But, yesterday I made a joke about Will farming himself out to The Cave as a whipping boy. Some stupid DU douche bag alerted and got me hidden for a shout-out to my old Boston buddy.
So...Good on you, Will. I kind of get where you're going. This place has turned to shit. Notice that there is no longer a star next to my name, after 13 years.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I think there should be a gNads exception for that rule, otherwise it seems the right thing to do.
If it can be back dated, Dorkangelnumbers will be gone four times.

Well, the boss still survives there, and has tussled with some primitives, and I'd like to help here, but can't.
For some reason--and I inquired about the matter some time ago--when a thread on Skins's island is really long, highlighting for copying-and-pasting won't work, or can be done only in chunks, such as what I had to do with Atman's comment, above. That took five highlightings to do.
I dunno why that is, and I'll ask again. Why, when a thread's super-long, does highlighting for copying-and-pasting become so difficult, if not impossible? It didn't used to be.

I can copy/paste several pages at least. Maybe it has something to do with your clipboard.
Too bad Skippy is gone, he was a computer expert. Maybe nadin is lurking and can send you a PM.

I dunno; I've wondered too if the fault's my browser.
Perhaps it's because a thread's s-o-o-o-o-o long that it's still loading while I'm trying to highlight?
But if I wait until the thread's 100% loaded, all done, no matter how long that takes, then it doesn't work unless I "refresh" again.
This happens with long threads only.

I just copied this entire thread and pasted it into a blank Word document with no delay.
Something goofy in your computer. Big wad of bytes clogging a pipe or something.

That could be. I'm working on trying to figure it out.
