**Hentor the Barbarian** , So what the heck is a “Snoopy”? Does it involve dressing like a WWI Flying Ace and pretending your partner is a Sopwith Camel?
[/QUOTE]
I don’t know all the details, but I know that part of it involves making sex noises that sound like a trumpet with a plunger over the bell.

No sorry, this thread is about **Quiddity Glomfuster** and deviant sex acts, get you back to your “skeptical” pedantry. 😉
[/QUOTE]
So what deviant sex acts does **Quiddity Glomfuster** get up to? And we need pictures otherwise I will be decidedly skeptical about it.

[QUOTE=Liberal]
Quid’s defense of me, combined with Left Hand of Dorkness’s assurances, helped me muster sufficient self-esteem and courage to inquire about mending years of broken fences with EddyTeddyFreddy, who was gracious enough to accept my apology. Maybe the Pit can work in ways you had not realized.
[/QUOTE]
Seconded. **QG** , you are at a crossroads with a significant subpopulation of the Dope here. You can continue as you have, bobbing and weaving and never admitting frankly that you could be in error. Or you can grok the fullness of what **olivesmarch4th** \* has told you and be big enough to say something along the lines of: “I’m sorry. I meant well but jumped in without knowing as much as I should have about how this board works and the people involved. I didn’t intend to, but I realize that I’ve riled a number of people who did not deserve to have their perspective dismissed like that. I apologize.”
If you still don’t believe you’ve done anything wrong here, then brush off what I’ve said and go on as you are. You will carry with you a certain image in the long memory of the Dope. If you do see why you’ve gotten in so much trouble here, and accept your share of it, and apologize, some of the same people who’ve been jumping your shit so hard will be the first to accept it and leave the hard feelings behind.
It’s all up to you at this point.
- And others, but hers was a superb analysis and very kind to you.

I’d like to know how someone can rack up 1,335 posts and claim ignorance as to how the board works.

Oh, then let me help heal your ignorance. When you post to a thread over and over and over, it gets longer.
I’ll start a new thread now to let you know you can PM me if you have further questions.

I said I was done. I request thread euthanasia since, contrary to what someone claimed, it is not dying of its own accord in my absence.

We are mostly just playing at this point, another thing we do in the pit probably too often. However, I will flag done a mod to let them decide.

Think I was that someone, and I said within 48 hours. But then you unquit again…which brings us to the whole “How can we miss you if you won’t go away” thing…
But, at this point, a mercy killing is probably in order.
