Now we’ve got tender hooks to go with the baited breath!

Oh god look what you just kicked off in me :eek:
Love me tender, love me hooks
Bait my breath with love
Fortunately at this point my poesy drive crashed and I was unable to continue.

[QUOTE=Oakminster]
Guess I’d have to agree. Apparently biologically male, yet definitely not a man.
Troll? Yes.
Fuckwit? Beyond any doubt.
Raging boil on the infected ass of humanity? Obviously.
But nothing like a man.

How’s it feel to live in the Land Of The Permanently Whooshed?
BTW, a head’s up for next time: anytime I want an opinion from the likes of you, I’ll give it to you, dimwit. And stop rimming me already; you’ve already had your five minutes of “fame” here.

**RedFury** , whatever else he is, (and, due to ignorance, I take no position on that,) is good people, because he is dog people, and he has a spot in my bunker if he ever needs one (and brings the Dobergal.)

Thank you kindly, Sir. Offer stands both ways. And certainly Silky’ll be along.
BTW, I forget the attribution, but there’s a quote I fully adhere to: “The more I know about people, the more I love dogs.”
The pseudo-human **Oakie** only adds truth to said quote.

[QUOTE=Hentor the Barbarian]
It appeared to me, as you might recall, rank hypocrisy to call for kindness and avoidance of personal attacks from others after demonstrating personal attacks and hostility pretty much right out of the gate.
[/QUOTE]
Gee, I thought the answers to that were covered.
1. Don’t wield a knife --or gun!-- in a schoolyard brawl. It’s a matter of _proportion_.
2. There is a distinction between crude language directed without provocation _within a particular thread_, and crude language directed at those who… use unprovoked vulgarities.
