Yowza, folks.
Defensive much?
It stuns me that y’all have managed to get this pissed off this quickly over something I, known to none of you (and vice-versa, of this I am fully aware), posted.
I think (as usual) this is being blown entirely out of proportion. kabbes said, “you do know that you’re going to get the usual slams that go back and forth and draw this into a three page thread-about-nothing don’t you? “If you don’t like it don’t read it” “I call 'em as I see 'em” “Leave them alone!” “I got the RIGHT” “yeah but you don’t have to use it” etc etc ad nauseum” - and accurately so.
First, allow me to quote these two lines:
“Don’t get me wrong. I have no problem with peoples’ sexuality, or their expression of the same.”
“…open an MPSIMS thread and make the OP nothing but a link to the things you’re written that we should all be awed/educated/rendered breathlessly sweaty over. If you’re going to wear your ego out in the open for everyone to see, be fucking blatant about it.”
The second of which addresses manhatten’s: “OK, I admit it. I’m confused.”
Okay…now…hardygrrl first.
hardygrrl: “There are some guys here-we all know who-who flirt heavily in every thread or make references to their abilities,so to speak…is that ok?”
me: I’m sure I’ll get around to them eventually.
hardygrrl: “Didn’t fit your case so didn’t register,huh?”
me: Well… since I in no way indicated that I was talking about every single post you’ve written in every thread about anything, I’d say that doesn’t apply. I guess it could be a qualified “yes…”
hardygrrl: “Go to the doctor,please, and get that bug pulled out of your ass.”
me: Actually…I’m beyond medical help. The doctor told me that the bug has its pincers firmly set in my colon. With luck it will slowly deteriorate. As senility sets in, in my twilight years, it may finally lose brain function and I will have peace.
hardygrrl: “BTW-does the fact we get responses make you crazy? Good.”
me: Not particularly. Sorry to rain on your parade. I’m honestly not on the boards for popularity.
hardygrrl: “Go get laid,please.”
me: Wow…you even used the magic word. I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I’d be happy to. I promise not to say anything about it on the boards, though.
hardygrrl: “Go get fisted,hard.Repeatedly with a hand dipped in honey and sand. And shut your whining piehole while you’re at it.”
bear in mind, these are all WITHOUT further comment from me.
me: Hrm. I imply that you have ego and are highly sexualized, and use your sexualization in part to feed your board ego…and you tell that it would bring you pleasure to know that I had basically been fisted with sandpaper.
And I’m whiny?
hardygrrl: “And was that something they registered for? Oh-they registered at Psychoskankorama. That explains it.”
me: pinches cheek You’re so adorable!
Sue Dunhym: “Interestingly, Arden Ranger and hardygrrl didn’t have anything to sat in that one.”
No, I think they’ve said it adequately in quite a few other places. At any rate, that post was entirely topic-appropriate. I don’t recall having said…once…that I was annoyed by any flirting anyone did in any thread which was intended for flirting. Again. As usual. Besides which, I don’t know why my opinion should matter enough for anyone to be this heated about it.
jarbabyj: “that was in highschool.”
pinches cheek Gosh, and you’re adorable TOO!! All of this cuteness is just KILLING me.
Arden Ranger: “Not everyone sees their sex lives as a “Cheezy Porn Plot””
I don’t see my sex life as that either. Just the incidents I mentioned. Now who’s judgeing someone’s entire body of work on isolated incidents?
Ukelele Ike: “Y’know, Hamadryad really does make the best deviled eggs.”
Damned straight, I do.
Bleh bleh bleh.
