Sperms do contain human life, that is how it is passed on, if the sperm is dead there can be no conception. I do not’ state’ that a sperm is a human being. My purpose is that one talks (If they are so called pro-lifers) about when life begins..and i proclaim that it started eons ago, and is passed on from generation to generation.

As I see it, it is far better to be ignorant and kind, than hateful and self declared smart. It seems that Classy can’t tell me how many of the born children she is sacrificing for… to see they are educated, cared for emotionally,physically,and financeally. It would seem such a person who is so intent on forcing a woman to bear a child, would be more than happy to support them through more taxes and personal sacrifice once the child is born, but it seems that many so called pro-lifers are just pro-birthers, and to heck with them once they are born!

While there are ample grounds on which to criticize those who oppose abortion rights, this is one of the weaker arguments.

At least, I don’t any uniform disdain among anti-abortion rights activists for the idea of supporting mothers after giving birth.

Looks like classylady was either a sock or finally stepped over the line, one of the two. I’m sure she’s somewhere crying about censorship as we speak, that poor wounded angel.

I PM’d Tuba. Couldn’t resist.

Sockage.

Now we’ll never know what her username meant. ☹

What does that mean exactly? CLHP is another identity of a member or an identity of someone already banned?

She had the identity of someone already banned. I don’t know the rules about revealing the info. I PM’d Tuba and got the info, but I don’t know if we are allowed to post it publicly.

I looked up the person she was a sock of and the posts were nearly identical in style.

ETA: The last comment was a reference to how every time someone called her out for not being “classy” she would say “that’s not what my username means!”.

She was a frothing-at-the-mouth maximumly Fundied-out Christian who (1) was abusive to other posters, especially those who didn’t agree 100% with her, (2) alienated other Fundamentalist posters, and (3) demanded everyone else follow her interpretation of Scripture while publicly not following it herself. I’m not sure why; however, the poster to whom you refer reminds me of her somewhat.

Perhaps this was the sockage?

I suppose it’s bad form talking about lost socks. Oh well. ☹

I think you’re not thinking out of the box here. You keep on assuming that the word in there is classy. Perhaps it’s assy and the cl stands for something else. Like clown-assy holy person. :eek:

OK, I’ll stop. I promise. 😃

Please don’t!

I tried PMing you the facts but you don’t do PMs.

Le Sigh.

Another poster PM’d me about this, and I agree with the assumption that it was a relatively recent already banned poster. The styles were nearly identical, except that the first identity didn’t use as much profanity(at least in the posts I scanned)

I think I’m pondering what you’re pondering. I remember a thread where someone tried to stir up some RO about The Board That Shall Not Be Named and getting all pissy and defensive at everyone who replied. Also that posted had the same tendency to not leave a space between text and emoticons.

For some reason CLHP also reminded me of that whackadoodle a couple months ago who was convinced that you could get hepatitis from changing a baby’s diaper.

Yup. The person who told me first also mentioned that lack of space characteristic. You guys are sleuthy!
