In the [Marriage: time for a new paradigm thread?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=326987), **andros** , you are a PC-sniffing dickhead who never deigns to give his own opinion and enter the debate. (I will grant that your first post contains some vague opinionettes, but thereafter, no.) I don’t know how this behavior relates to the official rules of the board, but it is definitely counterproductive and value-subtracting, IMO. In GD there should be no one “above the fray” in the thread, merely judging others’ posts without subjecting their own opinions to similar judgement. That’s bad enough, but you are also a snide asshole in the thread, too: > [@andros](#): > > I don’t know what kind of framily you grew up in, but my folks know fuck all about trepanning. They do, however, know a lot about marriage. I’m not going to advocate arranged marriages, but you just completely missed the point **acsenray** was making. Did **acsenray** really need your help here? > [@andros](#): > > Yikes. > > Garcon! More coffee over here! To me this looks like a violation of the “Pull up a lawnchair”-related rule. In any case, it’s a dickish, supercilious thing to say. Then there was this exchange: > [@Aeschines](#): > > **Andros** , looking back over the thread, all you’ve been doing in it is policing it: uh, you need a cite for that; no, that’s not right. If you have an opinion on the matter, why not reveal it and actually participate in the debate? Just MHO. Thanks. > [@andros](#): > > Because unlike some, I actually want to learn something instead of trotting out my own preconceived biases. I really don’t appreciate your I-am-sensei attitude and your snide, know-it-all tone. Fuck off, man. ---

It was in response to my horrible coding in the post before it. Sorry for not making that clear. As for the rest . . . you’re cute, can I keep you? ---

Liberal’s an expert on weak pittings, since he’s been subjected to so many of them. As for the OP, maybe Uri Geller can soften the steel railroad spike that’s lodged firmly up his ass. ---

**andros** is PC? For a second there, my world tilted on its axis! But then I saw who the OP was, and I realized that this was yet another example of **Aeschines** making absurd, sweeping generalizations, and then throwing a hissy fit when he gets called on it. There is, it appears, still nothing new under the sun. ---

> [@Bryan Ekers](#): > > As for the OP, maybe Uri Geller can soften the steel railroad spike that’s lodged firmly up his ass. Oh, it’s **Ekers**. Dude, if I had to nominate anyone for the title of SDMB dregs, you would have the honor. In fact, I’ll just go ahead and nominate you. And thanks for the interest in my asshole, but I don’t swing that way. ---

Yeah, a little jokey-jokey that _somehow_ involves gays (negatively or not) is “homophobic.” You take the logic cake. I see that I have the whole far right wingnut contingent in here. Bring it on.
