Help me out here...

Is your question about SharkBites, PEX, Home Depot, industry standards, drunks, sodomites, trolls, newbies, Big O, Philo or nym-shifting?

It's all so jumbled together it's hard to tell.

Derby, you have to go back a few days:

I told him heat was not used for PEX connections.

Really? My plumber told me to heat up both ends and then hold them

He popped a cork

and not me. He could not handle the truth.

....not one of the Few Good Men, eh?


You have used PEX and heat was never used, but his "plumber" should be
trusted over what I said.

How can you trust a guy named "Big-O"?


If attacked, I'll go on the offense. He got ****ed off, then showed
his colors as J Burns.

He should have used Montgomery Burns

I never had a problem with the guy before.

How do you know?


He was trying to use a polybutelene fitting on PEX, using heat his
glorious plumber told him --- but then gave him a piece of
"polybutelene".

Maybe he (or his plumber) is using a different sort of pipe altogether.


Then I caught him nym-shifting.

A rose (not!) by any other name...
