Not only was ridiculous-lube-twit’s last post the lamest I have ever read, but did anyone notice that in the new redhead thread linked to earlier, her bust size increases everytime she posts! As it was so succinctly put by **Coldfire** just a moment ago- _cough_ **bullshit** _cough_ **Coldie** , I don’t suppose you could share sassy’s little white lie with us? Please please please? (just an unarmed foot-soldier in Cecil’s Army) ---

Well, MissDiagnosis, you stupid cow, I don’t comprehend why you would take a run at one of the most respected posters here, except to conclude that you have some kind of a death wish. I’m new here , but I;ve lurked for a while, something that you didn;t bother to do, and I have found Esprix to be a breath of fresh air. And no, I’m not gay. You, however, are a putz, ---

Now **Cannon** , here in the Pit that is a totally appropriate posting style, and very nicely done, too! (Except that as a purist I would have liked to see a period instead of a comma after the word “putz”.) See, we just needed to provide the right medium for your artistic persona. 🙂 ---

Let’s see: Are people tired of Esprix and his struggle to expose the trials of a gay man (and the homosexual population in general)? **Apparently not** Introduction to and explanation of some rules in the\* Gay Agenda\*[sup]TM[/sup] **Check** A low-key discussion of the word “subtle.” **Lookin’ good** Gay as a hobby and other fine passtimes. **Right. Uh huh** **KY** exposed as not only a fine love grease, but a state as well. **Ignorance fought** **Scylla** posts a fine, fine ditty. **But can you dance to it?** **Esprix** shows up. Surprisingly, doesn’t throw himself in front of a bus or climb on a cross gaily (or otherwise). **Not much to say at all, actually** ::scanning:: “Hot buttered schlongs…: ::scanning:: Suttle, a Reprise. ::scanning:: **andygirl** throws down the gay gauntlet to **Esprix**. **Zen101** and **matt\_mcl** accept. **Omni-not** notices an interesting change, about 12 hours after it was confirmed, **I** would just like to mention. 🙂 [sub]About ¾ of the way down[/sub] **Brief discussion follows** Another silly post…::scanning:: **Polycarp** sums up **Esprix** s’ contribution to the Board and \*\*omni-not, Trion, Coldfire, Green Bean \*\* and **waterj2** light things up and clean a little house. **Who let the dogs out…** **vanilla** says “WHO here is tired of Polycarps “sincere liberal christian” routine???” **Polycarp is a Christian?! When did this happen?** And finally, **Cannon** points out that it is often not wise to take on a well regarded, well liked and well spoken member of the Board. **Well, no shit** Did I miss anything? ---

> [@](#): > > inaneLUBRICANTfuckup Good god, Esprix, I have to say, that is the BEST fuck up of Miss D’s name I’ve seen yet. (good name for a band who plays in porn movies…) Personally, Esprix isn’t the martyr. (I used to think he was, in another thread, much similiar to this one, only much more well written, and I was proven wrong. ) No, the martyr is YOU. I’m not even going to BOTHER arguing with you…it’s like trying to convince my cat to stay downstairs-the cat never listens and I get annoyed and sleep deprived. (And besides, my cat’s a lot cuter than you will ever be…) Miss D: bite me, it’s fun! (TM Joel Hodgson) ---

Been thinking. Maybe Miss Sassy is all tongue-in-cheek. Being a newbie, she may be trying too hard. Having tried her hand at it the first time as a lark (and perhaps without much aforethought) and having noticed by the reactions she elicited that she ‘screwed the pooch’, she made a second (mostly adversarial) attempt just for the hell of it, to keep the flame alive in a way. Surely, comments such as > [@](#): > > I refuse to have a battle of wits with an obviously unarmed army! must have been made in jest. Judging from her posts in other threads, she seems to be a fairly decent person (granted, with a rapidly expanding bosom, but that’s beside the point) not necessarily given to rants and such. So why such a radical change in attitude here? Simply because it’s The Pit and she wants to be treated as a full-fledged Doper just as aspiring members of biker gangs must first prove their mettle by accomplishing some evil deed before being officially admitted into the sacrosanct?? Maybe. Or maybe this analysis is overly elaborated and what’s left of the good-naturedness in me somehow refuses to face the evidence, plain and simple. So, as far as I’m concerned, the jury is still out but presently leaning towards Guilty. ---

Well, I have been NOT posting here because I was hoping it would die a slow death and be gone from my sight. That and, I avoid the Pit with a passion. However~ As to the OP. We, the people of the Straight Dope, **LIKE** Esprix. He is OUR Esprix, and we will defend those we see as OURS with a passion. He is a wonderful person, and in no way shape or form presents himself the way you say he does. You annoy me, girl. And I DO NOT annoy easily. And, let me state with certainty that I am SO glad you changed your username. You give redheads a bad name, and since _I_ am a redhead, I am happy that you are not representing me. Say, just because I am curious. Did you think that this was a good way to endear yourself to the rest of us? Because if so, you can’t have done your reading.
