Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lettuce. Just because I am also a vegetable, do not conclude that I am Cabbage. I am NOT Cabbage, we just grow together outside here in The Garden. He is my second cousin, thrice removed (in-law). Much talk has spread around The Garden of the insult that has been given Cabbage by one NITWATCH2. His kids, The Brussels Sprouts, were quite hurt by the comments. The Vegetables are unhappy with you. The Killer Tomatoes, in particular, are quite pissed, I assure you. Please refrain from such behavior in the future, as we can be quite nasty when we have a mind to be. Only pray that The Fruits do not choose to get involved, as well. This has been your final warning, and remember… * * * The Gardener always grows things! ---

Wow, this is going to get old quickly. Time to head on over to MPSIMS for a while. Last one out is doomed to spend eternity with the poster who has 18 different personalities. ---

If I post a reply here, good or bad, will I be accused of being a fake, or a friend of the obviously disliked OP because I’ve only been here a couple of days also? Is there anyone who can post on this threat who is new and who is on AOL or is it just anyone who comes to this thread? This is the first time I’ve ever come across a MB thread that I actually hesitate to respond to because of what might happen. 🙂 🙂 ---

That’s it. If every new person on AOL (or the other Serlin personalities) keep posting the same basic “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” thought, I just might go crazy. Move on already. We have established Mark is an idiot, and probably in need of help for his multiple personalities. Leave it at that, go home and play with a ball, and forget this dang thread ever existed. I’m outta here. ---

> [@](#): > > At least I can link the different aspects together instead of simple underlining. Seems most of you don’t. _ahem_ Amoeba-brain? Hi. The lack of excessive HTML use in posts is not an indication of lack of knowledge of HTML. It is, rather, an indication that the person HAS A FUCKING CLUE! Unlike you. Sure, I could change colors mid-sentence and font faces and so on, but all it would accomplish would be making my posts harder to read and making me look like an idiot. Very little code use is needed to post successfully on this board. Mainly quoting, italics and/or bold, and use of links. If you think we are impressed at your little vomit-pile of HTML, think again. Speaking as someone who has authored thousands of pages of HTML I can say that you are anything but impressive. You might want to check out some of the Geocities homepages of 9 year olds and you’ll see stuff on your skill level. As for the rest of what you said, it’s shit and not worth addressing. * * * – Teeming Millions: [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions) “Meat flaps, yellow!” - DrainBead, naked co-ed Twister chat O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---

This thread is too long to read, especially considering it has turned into a shouting match. So letme just take a shot at the OP and hope I hit the nail and not my thumb. Speaking as a man, my sole objective in bed is to satisfy my partner. I am delited when I feel that I have done that successfully. I may be one of the lucky ones in that my partner feels the same way and strives to satisfy me for the same reason. It can become a battle sometimes (a fun one) to see who gets to be the one to “do all the work”, so to speak. With regard to positions, fetishes, places, or whathavu, what I want is irrelevant. Whatever my partner wants is most important to me. ---

Well, I think you’re wrong about Ladylust because she don’t sound like the other two. Besides, I aint seen no new posts from MarkSerlin and I keep looking because wherever he posts, there’s gonna be a real squabble. It’s getting to the point that I’m starting to follow NITWATCH also 'cause he attracts trouble like a dog draws fleas. ---

Just take a gander at LadyLust’s BIG FUCKING FONT on that Woman With Brats (or whateverthehell) thread. Nope - not similar in the least. ## Oh, and about fleas on a dog comment regarding Nit - it is more like crabs on a skank. \>^,^\< KITTEN Fluff yer hair Beula, I’s feelin frisky - M.S. ---

‘Anomaly’ stated: > [@](#): > > Now this is an interesting post! I’m afraid to respond to it because it looks like if I use code to highlight anything, I reckon I’ll be accused of being some sort of ‘fake’ name the writer is using. If I agree with him, then I’ll probably be damned for the same thing and if I dare disagree with anything most of the other posters have stated, I’ll be tarred and feathered and run off of the board on a rail! So, Anomaly, did you just happen to work side by side with Mark Serlin?

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, in support of the prosecution’s case to impose Coventry on a number of screen names, I present this evidence for your timely and wise consideration: [ul][li]Mark Serlin - registered 10/21 (aol)[/li][li]AnitaJ - registered 11/11(aol)[/li][li]NitWatch2 - registered 11/12 (aol)[/li][li]ladylust - registered 12/3 (aol)[/li][li]Anomaly22 - registered 12/6 (aol)[/ul][/li]All names appear in a suspiciously well-timed defense of the original poster, Mark Serlin. The prosecution finds the likely hood of this concatenation to be highly dubious. Additionally, we have these facts: [ul][li]All posters claim to be from Fla. with the exception of Anomaly, who just claims, “Guess.”[/li][li]ladylust and AnitaJ have nearly identical interests posted in their profiles.[/li][li]John Corrado has pointed out a thread where Mark and Nitwatch claim to have worked for the same boss.[/ul][/li] The prosecution contends all posts made under these handles are actually from a single person and suggests Coventry be applied unilaterally upon those accused. Additional facts in support of this contention can be made available upon request of the jury for their deliberation. The prosecution rests. * * * “There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences.” ~P.J.
