I’m not wasting my time by reading through an entire 6-page thread just to figure out what your point is. If you have one, just come out with it instead of playing coy. Which goes for anything else you have to say to me, as well. I don’t recall ever tangling with you previously; I can’t even begin to guess at the reason you feel the need to take a personal shot at me. So, out with it, already.

Oh my OG, I cannot believe his amount of ignorance in his anal sex thread. It INFURIATES me that he cannot educate himself before making statements like he did about a woman’s vagina.

Please, either kill me or kill that thread. I can’t stand the sheer affrontery to female anatomy and the amount of misinformation he spews in that thread.

andrew, you seriously need a sex information class. Seriously. No I am not kidding. Seriously. You have some DANGEROUS misconceptions, and to spread them around like they’re worth the same value as actual information is vile.

Again disgusted,

Inky

Q.E.D., In essence, you are babbling blabbermouth. You seem to post any fool thing that comes to your head and so I thought that it was sort of funny that you were chastising another poster for that. I don’t really think that I was being coy, as that point seems to be pretty clear in my post.

Re: the resume thing. At one point Tuba was listing her administration of the SDMB on her resumes and as a result decided that she wanted to “raise the tone” in case prospective employers decided to check the place out.

You are correct in that we have not tangled in the past, I just thought that what you posted was hilarious (given the source) and so I pointed it out.

Ah, I see. In other words, you’re just talking out of your ass, as usual. Unfounded opinion noted and dismissed. Carry on.

You consider a pitting of **Tubadiva** from 2002 a recent event?

Well, in all fairness, he never said it was a _recent_ event. Still, I’m not sure why he thought I ought to be aware of something which happened nearly a year before I joined. _shrug_ Eh, whatever.

What I find most distressing is the lack of initiative displayed by someone apparently unable to find pictures of either anal sex or women’s genitalia on the internet.

Touche.

I just got smacked down by an auditor at work because I couldn’t remember something I did last month. Does he really expect me (or anyone else for that matter) to remember a thread from over 3.5 years ago?

Let’s look at the numbers right from the board itself. You average 11.87 posts per day. Andrewt85 averages 3.69 posts per day. You post 3.22 times as often as he on the average day.

Perhaps he’s posting from work. Or he’s blind.

Those figures are not a valid basis of comparison. For one thing, they fail to take content into account. I’ll stake the content of my posts against **andrewdt85** ’s any day. For another, he just came back from a one-month suspension, a fact which will naturally skew the post-per-day average.

It isn’t so much that I assume that you should be aware of the event. It was, as you say, quite some time ago. However, even though that is the case I don’t see why your default setting is that posters that refer to said event are “babbling” about something rather than talking about something that did, in fact, happen.

You assume too much. My “default setting”, as you put it, for **catsix** is based upon my experience of her posting history, and should not be construed as how I would have treated a similar post by anyone else.
