It's amazing people equate sexiness with just physical appearence. They are the ones to be pitied..... for there's a whole lot that goes on beyond the scope of one's countenance.

I am way more turned on by someone that is considerate, confident in their souls, kind, affectionate, can enjoy life, and has a deep emotional base to work from. If they don't look like Mel Gibson or Val Kilmar.... ah well. that's just the packaging. I don't go for cardboard cutouts.

Hey Gang! I think we've found The Artist's soul mate. Let's hook 'em up! I believe thats what we call a "cancel" in my book.

Opalcat,

Was visiting your homepage and checking our the regulars. I noticed that you've named yourself "Sexiest Female". Hmmmmmm, a bit into ourselves, aren't we? With those flabby arms and big nose, I'd bet there are MANY females more deserving of that award!!!

Thanks for your submission, but we don't have any openings for resident troll at this time. We'll keep your application on file if we ever need your services.

BTW, the awards on the TM homepage were determined by a vote, not by the person who is kind enough to operate that page. Just so you know.

If you don't want anyone to comment on your uninformed opinion, don't post it.

And before you object, yes, it is uninformed, because as you were perusing the TM webpage, if you'd bothered taking a look at the awards page (<Teeming Millions Awards (http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/vote-awards.html)) and/or the voting page (Voting Results (http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/vote-awards.html)) before shooting your mouth off, you could have figured it out for yourself, without making your first impression on the MB that of a troll. Good luck changing it.

Once you get much older than sixteen, I hope you'll realize that sexiness is all about attitude. Of course, this isn't very good news for you, considering your attitude makes you about as sexy as an old French whore with tertiary syphillis.

Pttttthhhhhhhttttppppp. I haven't had reason to talk about the way anyone looks,,, you have plenty of other things for me to feel sorry for you over. But hey, post a picture and I'll be happy to criticize you for that too.

who IS this jeanie chick anyway?

as an interested bystander and a long term fan of the straight dope column, i have been interested to get the peek into the minds of other frothing Teeming Millions fans. OpalCat seems intelligent and witty, her posts have a great rhetorical style of whacking dunderheads. I am do glad you decided to post, lest she feel unchallenged and decide to go post elsewhere. OpalCat has posted a number of posts on a number of topics, and I have read most of 'em. You, I notice, have posted twice, on the BBQ pit only, and really have nothing interesting to say except to whine like a car in need of a break job when you take a little heat for being a snotty nosed little twerp.

My advice to you, jeanie, is to shut your cake hole, go out to the nearest Walmart, and buy a personality... as someone else pointed out, beauty is only skin deep.. I'd suggest working on your conversation sometime.

This from someone whose profile reads:

interests include: lampworking, cooking, reading, playing, tarot, spirituality, cats, sex, reading, truthful politicians and other mythical beasts....

Ah yes, Bella, you're truly a deep person!!!
Like, let's light a lamp, bake a cake, read a book on cats and have sex with politicians and beasts while comtemplating our spirituality.

What an ass.

Jeanie, before you make a pathetic attempt to knock on someone else's profile, you may want to fix your own interests to read something other than "sports, books." I mean, how boring is that? Only two interests? They're both perfectly good interests, mind you, but I think you need some variety in your life.

Oh, Jeanie, you have much to learn about people who live in glass houses. Since you have seen fit to critique Bella's interests, lets take a look at yours. Your interests, and I quote, are "sports, books". Not "participating in sports and reading books", not "watching sports and collecting books", not even "lame attempts at sports and burning books" just "sports, books". You have already shown your personality and intellect to be barren, we can only hope the same applies to your reproductive abilities.

jeanie on Elm's interest in "reading":
Reading what? The backs of cereal boxes?

jeanie on jeanie's (revised) interests:
Mine happen to be reading...

This is too easy. A word of caution, jeanie; if you are trying to present yourself as an intelligent person, do endeavor not to hang yourself with your own words. Add logic to the list of jeanie's barren areas.

jeanie on Doctor Jackson's interests:
"many and varied", like you're too deep to be able to mention ALL these interests.

Nope, just too deep for you to understand, dear. No sense in explaining a concept to a pig - it is a waste of time and only serves to upset the pig. And you do seem upset.

I hope this is not how you go about making friends.

Okay, so maybe Opal isn't one of my favorite persons right now, but she certainly didn't deserve the sucker-punch that you delivered. I was unwarranted and underserved. It certainly wasn't instigated by her. The same goes for the insults that you have been throwing at everyone else.

I've noticed that this thread is the only one that you've bothered to post on. In case you didn't realize, this forum is where people who have disagreements in one of the other forum go to; not for people to just jump in and start heaving derogatory comments about. If this is what you think "The Straight Dope" is all about, I suggest you look elsewhere for your cheap yuks.

You should also know that we do have the power to ban people from the board. It is not something we've had to use yet, but you are coming perilously close to making us push that magic button.

In other words, cool it.

fascinating, captain.

First of all, missy, let's look at one of your two interests.. books.. what exactly does your interest cover with books? Do you burn them? Look at them? Or buy them and shelve them in your home in an attempt to make yourselflook intelligent? Lampworking, if you had bothered to take a moment to look it up, is a form of glassworking. How silly of me, though.. your point in posting is clearly not factuality but personal slams.

Yep, I shop at Lane Bryant and I eat my own cooking, and I sure enough have a fuller figure. *smile* On the other hand, I can also stand my own company and am comfortable with who I am. Thank god for that.. if I were a deeply insecure ass I might have to do something like log onto a board where NOONE has ever heard of me, and start posting snide judgements of other people in a vain attempt to cover my deep insecurity and lack of taste, judgement or character. I wonder, is it actually possible for you to hold a real conversation? Maybe you should try it sometime...

Sorry, but that's the truth.

I know several people who are sexy despite being overweight. Furthermore, the criticizing of another's appearance (especially someone you don't know) is incredibly rude, uncalled-for, and generally representative of a lack of anything more substantial to say.

So I give you a big raspberry.

You know, I would be more likely to honor jeanie with the epithet of bitch if she actually could construct an argument that stood up to more than two seconds of close inspection. Her "arguments"consist entirely of personal attacks, factual or imagined.. on the whole rather dull of her, don't you think?


She doesn't have the brains to be a real bitch.

religion? it's a finger pointing at the moon.

So Dr. Jackson and Drain Bead - your interests are REALLY instense. Let's see...."reading, writing, editing, cooking, speaking when not spoken to, making lemonade out of this giant pile of lemons" AND "many and varied". That's great!

Reading what? The backs of cereal boxes? Writing pornographic poetry? And, "many and varied", like you're too deep to be able to mention ALL these interests. Everyone has numerous interests. Mine happen to be reading and watching/participating in sports. If you couldn't get that, you're more stupid that I figured.

Oh, and Bella - of course you'd say "shut your cake hole." For someone who loves cooking (and obviously eats it all herself), you OBVIOUSLY shop at Lane Bryant!!!!

What the hell is it with trolls and their obsession with the physical appearance of others? You have a problem with folks who shop at Lane Bryant, toots?

"Not only is the world queerer than we imagine,

Reading what? The backs of cereal boxes? Writing pornographic poetry?

Well, since you asked...I read some Vonnegut, Heller, Styron, Pat Conroy, Margaret Atwood (fiction and poetry), Kesey, Eliot, Yeats, Whitman, Plath, Sexton, Cummings, Auden, Adrienne Rich, Sharon Olds, and one holy heck of a lot of non-fiction, about everything from the writing process to death. And that's not it, of course...I'll gladly read some decent "bestseller" fiction like Wally Lamb or Stephen King. I could probably come up with more, but it's 2 in the morning, and I'm on Ohio State's 30-minute line.

As for the writing...I write poetry and creative essays. I've written erotic poetry before, but most of it isn't very good (I was going to say that it sucks, but that's just too much of an unintended pun for me). I've been published three times (well, the third will be appearing this fall), two poems, one essay. And I'm working on publishing a literary magazine for the local community college right now. So yes, these are my interests, and I'm glad to see that you're so curious about them. Maybe you should add "stuff other people can do and I can't" to your list. Three interests is a nice number to have.

Jeanie? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and post a picture of yourself? Oh, wait...I keep forgetting that with Photoshop, anyone can look like Pamela Anderson. But anyway, I've noticed in my years on this earth that people online who make the most stink about others' appearances are the ones who are the most insecure about their own. And no, I don't "shop at Lane Bryant," and frankly, I don't care who does. On this medium, it doesn't matter. Brains and attitude matter, and on that, you're shopping at Contempo and Rave, babe.

Anyway... I just found this thread. Woohoo!!! I have my very OWN pet troll!

Jeanie honey, I won the "sexiest female" award in a chicken vote. Everyone was too shy to vote for someone "in that way" and so only 7 people even voted in that category. I won with 2 votes, 5 other people had 1 vote each. (I didn't vote in that category at all, btw)

Anyway, I'm fat right now. Been this way for almost 4 years. I was thin before that. Toned and in shape, too. I plan on getting back there. So you noticed the fat? Wow. You are so incredibly observant. I'm really impressed.

I'm just going to thank everyone who took the time to post to this person. It was quite fun reading, and I agree with everything you guys said. The one thing that I wanted to point out that didn't get mentioned was that jeanie... that isn't MY homepage you little twit. That is the Teeming Millions Homepage.

Hi Opalcat. Nice to see you here. This IS my 1st post here. I have read all the other stuff and all I can say is this. I love ya babe. ANd yes this is the SpyGuy from da Drain. You know I just love to take on those who are like that Jeannie idiot....
However, everyone in here did such a great job there just is nothing else to say. If she did not get the hint then she is a Troll. If anyone needs the real scoop on Trolls you can find it at Uncle Steppy's Guide to Trolls in Da Drain in MoJo Pub. Opalcat can giove you the address. It is quite interesting with proper nomenclature and everything. Maybe I'll post a thread on the subject of Trolls from Uncle Steppy's info.

With all due respect Opalcat I hope you had a great day.

If you want my opinion just ask, if you don't want my opinion just ignore me.

Opalcat,

I DID go to your website. That's where I saw how narcissistic you are. That's also where I saw what a great housekeeper you are!!!!!!! God, how can you live like such a pig? I'd be embarrassed to have THAT available for anyone to see.

Well, I do declare... there may be a way to settle this thing once and for all. I notice Jeannie is in Arlington, VA, and OpalCat is in Fairfax. Since I, a completely disinterested third party, (this is my first time in the BBQ pit, as opposed to the GQ and MSPIMS boards) live in Washington DC, I propose the following.
A date each with me - evening of whatever activities the two women deem fitting enough, then when it's all over I come back and give a report as to who is a more interesting, well-rounded, pleasant person to be with.
Whatcha say, kids? :)

I think you are incredibly brave to go on a date with Jeannie. I mean, what an exciting conversationalist! "Hey, see that girl over there? She's fat!" "Hey, see that other girl? She's unattractive, and shops at Lane Bryant!"
"So, Jeannie, what do you think of the situatin in Kosovo?"
"All I know about the news is that Monica Lewinski is fat!"
Could you get through the entire evening like that?

Actually, you ass, I know more about Kosovo that you do. Being from a political family, this has been discussed more often that it's been on the news. So, you want to go head-to-head? Pick a topic, any topic.

I pick books and sports.

Hey, I'm just trying to get to the root of the matter :) Maybe IRL Jeannie is a shy, quiet, but intelligent and well-spoken woman. I seen the interior of Opal's house (thank you, OpalCam) and Jeannie's criticism is nothing. With two toddlers running around like that? Housecleaning takes a low rung on the priority ladder.
All I want to do is settle this face-to-face. Is Jeannie as intelligent as she says she is? Do her criticisms of OpalCat stand up to actual interaction with her? I'm just doing this in the spirit of research and understanding that fuels the Straight Dope and has for almost thirty years...

------------------
All Hail Unca Cecil, or the next best thing available!

"Actually, you ass, I know more about Kosovo that you do."

It appears that not only do you want to sustain other members first impression of you as an angry, hateful individual, as no discussion has yet occurred on which this assertion can realistically be based, it seems you are also an exceedingly presumptuous one as well.

It must really suck to be you for such ichor to spew forth unprovoked at individuals whom you neither know, nor seem to want to know. So, why are you here? Clearly not for any sort of intelligent discussion - if that's even something your capable of.

Um, actually, that counts for nothing. I come from a scientific family. My mother is a doctor and my father is an engineer, and they both discuss their work a lot. Nevertheless, I can still point out quite a few people who know more biology and physics than I do.

Besides, how do you know how much anyone else here knows about the situation? Oh, that's right. You don't. Do you want me to fill in that hole before you dig it any deeper?

Actually, you ass, I know more about Kosovo that you do. Being from a political family, this has been discussed more often that it's been on the news.


This has got to be the dumbest statement I've read in weeks-- and that's saying a lot.


Jeanie, why bother insulting people you don't know? Why risk making (more of) a fool of yourself by professing your superiority without a single shred of evidence? For all you know, you could be addressing a native Kosovar, or a U.N. diplomat, or a high-ranking Air Force officer. I sincerely doubt that you could talk about the Kosovo crisis on an equal level with one of these persons; I defy you to show one tenth the knowledge that such a conversation would require.


In fact, pick a topic in which you're expert, and let's set up a debate. You vs. a chosen champion from the rest of the board. I almost guarantee you'll get your metaphorical ass kicked in.


Incidentally, will the moderators take votes on whether to ban this bitch? If she discovers how to post in the other forums, she might eventually become annoying.

Just for fun...I was thinking of my little Lane Bryant/Contempo analogy of a while back, and came up with a few more. Anyone else is free to add some.

We are The Trial, Jeanie is The Firm.
We are Citizen Kane, Jeanie is How Stella Got Her Tubes Packed.
We are filet mignon with herbed butter, fresh asparagus with hollandaise, and key lime cheesecake. Jeanie is Top Ramen and a caramel rice cake.
We are Air Force One. Jeanie is a ValuJet cargo hold.
We are a 1999 top-of-the-line Mercedes. Jeanie is that old beat-up blue Escort with the off-white passenger-side door.

By the way, I used to know a Jeanie who lives (or lived) in Arlington, though I like to not believe the universe to be quite that strange. Nor do I believe that "my" Jeanie has disintegrated that much (she was a little nutty).
Anyway, carry on.

Lynn? I'd bet you're just itching to try out those new troll-extracting tools. I believe this could be your big opportunity! Just think, we have the perfect reason, a troll who has posted *only* unprovoked personal assaults and has provided not a single redeeming contribution to the MB.
(I know. I know. «No one is completely useless, they can always serve as a bad example.»)
But just think how much fun this could be. You can test the troll-puller, extracting only jeanie's posts, leaving as her only legacies the disdainful replies and the knowledge that the troll-puller actually works.

(It is not as though we need to encourage the use of the BBQ Pit as simply a place to let the immature vent their as-yet-undeveloped psyches. I'd much rather watch the Bob & George show, here, or a couple of rounds of Shawn vs The World than see some child defecating in public.)

Did I miss something? Did Shawn actually come back while I was gone? Or is this just his legacy living on? I ask this because this is the second time someone has mentioned him today, and it doesn't seem as if people would talking about him that much if he were as long-gone as I thought he was.

And if my sig would work for anyone, it would be him...

I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my ass.

Nah.
But just about the time they announced that the AOL SDMB would be shut down, AOL recovered all the posts to the "push pin" MB that they lost in September (going back to Toodabar's "why do cat's.....?" post).
Some folks have been surfing back and reminiscing about old wars.

There have been Shawn sightings on a.f.c-a, but he hasn't been visible on SDMB since the end of the "So What?" dispute.

Speaking of surfing back: were there any old posts you'd have liked to have saved? The SDMB hasn't disappeared yet. If you have a name and a date range, somebody could probably get you a copy, at least as a text file. Using the "From. . .To. . ." date range, we can now bring up any series of posts, just they way they originally appeared.

Oh, I've already tried out the troll-puller, before the board was open to the public. However, for now, I'm going to leave Jeanie's posts, because everyone's having so much fun (except, possibly, Jeanie) and because each of her posts simply scream out her cluelessness. Besides, this IS the Barbecue Pit.

I just wonder if some persons aren't confusing aesthetics with sexiness... 'Tis certainly true that a good-looking body is pleasing to the eyes and the sense of art and aesthetics (I prefer looking at female examples thereof, with curves, but of course the same would apply to those who prefer looking at males, with muscles.)

On the other hand, that has nothing to do with personality, of course.

And sexiness... well, frankly, no one is anywhere near as sexy to me as my spouse who (yes!) shops at Lane Bryant.

Did I miss something? Did Shawn actually come back while I was gone? Or is this just his legacy living on? I ask this because this is the second time someone has mentioned him today, and it doesn't seem as if people would talking about him that much if he were as long-gone as I thought he was.


Please, no one say his name a third time!

Well, now you all did it. OK, take this!

Opalcat,
I DID go to your website. That's where I saw how narcissistic you are. That's also where I saw what a great housekeeper you are!!!!!!! God, how can you live like such a pig? I'd be embarrassed to have THAT available for anyone to see.

Don't confuse "cluttered" with "dirty". As a single guy, my housekeeping habits are a bit... chaotic. But you can eat off my bathroom floor, there's nothing unidentified growing in the fridge, and a cockroach wouldn't dream of sticking its head into my space.
Not only is there nothing for the little scavenger to eat, my soon-to-be-patented WD-40/Zippo Falmethrower Pest Removal System keeps the little buggers at bay and has drawn the interest of ACME.
Everyone has hobbies, and Opal's web-page is an an awesome example of computer/net savvy.
You could continue to show your little <FONT COLOR="GREEN">green-eyed</FONT> monster by continuing flame anyone and everyone, or you could emulate Opal and DO SOMETHING, rather than attacking those that do something.

This is my first post here. While I read the whole thread, I guess I don't understand Jeanie's animosity, or anyone else's towards her. I hope I don't offend anyone. The whole thing just seem to start at a bad place and digress from there. Several eloquent, semantic-game-playing, replies. Please let me know if I am mistaken. Is this a forum for voicing opinions on a range of topics, or just another place where kids come to play? Again, please don't take this the wrong way. I'm only looking for a place to discuss things on a mature, intelligent level. For all the touting of intelligence which occurred in this thread, I read more than few replies containing language used primarily by those not in command of a larger vocabulary.

You do realize why "The BBQ Pit" was established, don't you?

May I suggest another SD forum if this one does not suit your needs? There are many others on this site. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the Pit.

Jwinick? We didn't understand jeanie's animosity, either, which is what prompted most of the scorn she received.

I would second Diane's suggestion about topics and fora. The "General" forum and the "Cecil" forum is where you'll find most of the discussions you described. You can find some discussions on the "MPSIMS" forum, as well. This group can be a tough crowd (that has a few rough members). It is also an independent site so that (if you are coming in from AOL, for example) you are going to encounter language that would not pass muster in AOL's Terms Of Service, but most of the fights will be on the issues.

The BBQ Pit was set up as a place for folks to take their feuds when personalities have gotten so wound up in their discussions that they just have to do some personal venting.
If it bothers you, avoid it. I doubt that this will be a hot spot for the true exchange of information.

Perhaps I don't know why it was established. I just tapped into a thread . . . I know there are others. "If I can't stand the heat . . ." hmmmm. Is this just a forum for an already-established clique? In spite of the disclaimer, the only person booted for use of vulgar, abusive language was Jeanie. Again, I don't understand her position, or any of yours. But in the true nature of flame throwing, why were her insults objectionable while yours were not?

And by the way, between us, who, really, cannot stand the heat? I'd love truly to see some gifted, thoughtful, wordsmiths here ... worthy adversaries. Thanks for your reply :)

I'll type this very slowly, so you can understand.

a) This area of the MB is specifically designated for flame threads. Hence, the flaming. Hence why it's called the BBQ pit. Hence why people said "if you can't stand the heat..." when you complained.

b) Nobody got "booted." In fact, if you read Lynn's post, she said she wasn't going to "boot" anyone, mainly because of the yuks she was giving us every time she posted. Hence, you haven't read the whole thread as you claimed, which makes me think that you're either one of Jeanie's buddies, a dimwit, or both.

c) There was no "abusive, vulgar language," at least not in my estimation of what that entails. Jeanie started this thread with an unprovoked flame about something that she didn't really look into enough to understand (the fact that Opal's "sexiest" award was a vote and not something she gave herself), and we made fun of her for it. If you think that what she said was vulgar and abusive, you've obviously never been to high school.

d) You're a moron. Go away.

Jwinick;

Next time you "just tap into a thread," try reading the information signs that describe them. Here's the one from this thread:

The BBQ Pit

If you gotta flame, do it here.

I'm getting lazy in my old age, so I just copied the title and the description. At least I didn't ignore it.

Technically, wasn't I the one to mention him the third time?

Well, I do declare... there may be a way to settle this thing once and for all. I notice Jeannie is in Arlington, VA, and OpalCat is in Fairfax.
.............................................
I used to live in Arlington (and Alexandria, BTW). Of all the places I've lived, it WAS my favorite. It was my favorite because I have great memories of visiting my dad at the Pentagon, and of the people that lived there, and all kinds of other things. Everyone was so nice. And someone like JEANIE lives there now? :::shudder::: There goes my memories of a pleasant place to live...

Both you and Jeannie seem to be confused about the purpose of the BBQ Pit. I'm not sure what you think it's for, but Jeannie seems to think it's someplace to hop in and start a thread insulting someone for no earthly reason. (Narcissistic? Why, because she dares to put information about herself on her own website? How dare she?)

Perhaps you missed the several times this fact was mentioned in the thread when you "read the whole thread", but the comments Jeannie has made on this thread are the only posts she has made on the entire message board. In other words, she took a look at OpalCat's page and then came over to this message board, apparently for the express purpose of insulting her, as she has made no contribution to any other forum or any other thread on this forum.

As for your questions:
1) Is this just a forum for an already-established clique?
--In a way, yes. The BBQ Pit is for participants in heated discussions in the other forums of this message board to move their comments when they feel their arguments have degenerated into a flame war and are adding nothing worthwhile to the discussion. Therefore, you can assume the majority of the posts in this forum are going to be between established members.
2) But in the true nature of flame throwing, why were her insults objectionable while yours were not?
--Maybe because her first post, as well as all subsequent ones, are full of nasty comments about OpalCat and anyone who dared defend OpalCat and/or disagree with Jeannie? And then she was foolish enough to post in a forum titled "The BBQ Pit" which has a description indicating it is for posting flames?

I'm closing this thread because (1) jeanie checked the box that automatically sends her copies of all posts; (2) she later changed her E-mail address to a non-working account, and (3) my mailbox is filling up with bounced-mail notices from every time somebody posts. BTW, she was using a hotmail account, if that tells you anything.
