I find **Twix** ’s behavour and attitude reprehensible. Still, it’s her call. But saying that she doesn’t date men in committed relationships and calling this one not one is self serving. This is really hard to get past… > [@](#): > > \ ***DiosaBellissima** : > Once again, which is more likely: > > Guy meets girl. Girl is crazy. Guy immediately cuts things off with the girl over three months ago. Crazy girl then breaks into the guy’s home in some way, hacks into his laptop, and steals all of his email information- then, takes perfectly friendly and innocent emails and uses them as ammunition for her crazy. > > OR > > Guy puts his dick in girl. Guy puts his dick in more girls. First girl is at his house, using his laptop- as girlfriends tend to do- sees his dick sticking emails. Girl gets upset, girl emails for verification.\* If Maria really is a crazy stalker trying to drive away the other women in his (non-committed sex) life so she can have him all to herself, this will end her relationship with him for sure. Even crazy stalker bitches know that. No, Maria’s original email was level. As was her follow up that she wouldn’t contact\*\* Twix\*\* again. Guy gets caught cheating and lies to cover his cheating, yeah that’s never happened before. > [@VinylTurnip](#): > > Not his fault if the bitch was dumb enough to believe him, is it? Guy’s gotta do what it takes to close the deal… take it from me, I mean, aloof hipster sex is okay in a pinch, but NOTHING beats heartbreak pussy. Girl, you so sexy with your mascara all smeared like that… you know you’ll always be my number one, right? That other girl you emailed, talking about soap operas and shit, she’s just some crazy stalker! I don’t know WHAT she’s talking about, we had sex. She’s crazy! You know she’s just jealous of what we have, right? Yeah, there’s a smile. You’re beautiful, girl, and could you loan me some cash? I saw that fifty in your purse… I’ll call you, you know I will. I have a big 8"X10" glossy of just that. ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > Maria _is_ more credible than JB. > > Hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. While Maria could be a psycho-ex, stalker extraordinaire hacker, the fact is that “Guy who lies to his girlfriend / wife in order to sustain additional sexual relationships” is far more common. In my personal experience, it’s five life-destroying psycho-exes (one male, four female) and two blatant liars for the sake of sex on the side (one each male and female–and I was one of her victims, as an aside.) My personal experience suggests the conventional wisdom on the relative proportions here is bull. > [@](#): > > Then maybe this incident is skewing your view a bit? Absolutely, and I don’t deny it. However, see above–having been on both sides, I maintain that my call is for neutrality even if I spend more time defending JP because his defenders are in the minority. ---

After another reading: > [@Cheshire\_Human](#): > > You are all required to submit an essay, justifying the position you took in this thread. Submit them to my personal message box by midnight next week. Those who choose not to respond will be killed by your choice of execution method [or whatever I find convenient when it comes time to whack you]. Those who do respond are submitting yourselves to my [_hee, hee_] _justice_. I will kill you or let you live, my choice, my execution method… Even if it’s directed only toward people who won’t submit an imaginary essay, we’ve got very little patience with death threats on this board. If there’s any more of this your stay here will be very short. ---

You’re not allowed to insult other posters here, much less say they should be shot. This is a formal warning. Don’t do this again. I might point out that I insulted _No one_. Although I did mention **Diogenese** (sp?) I did NOT _ **insult** _ anyone at all. Please, if I did, show me my mistake. Quote me. The “should be shot” bit is just a rhetorical device that has been used for a couple hundred years. “Put 'em up against a wall” has a very specific, but these days, a highly rhetorical meaning. And, has been mostly ignored since long before the French Revolution in seventeen sumptiadda sumptin. I’m actually using wording from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” album, but “Up Against a Wall” has been being used since LOOONG before I was born. It’s just a freakin’ _ **standard rhetorical device** _ that goes back a couple of hundred years. Sorry if someone reading this is “educationally deficient”, and so doesn’t get my classical references. “GEESH…!!!” If I really wanted to kill someone, they would not have had been given the option to object. I would have just terminated the “idjit”. Some people REALLY need to read basic history. ---

Find a different rhetorical device. I know you don’t expect people to send essays and that you’re not going to find and shoot anybody. That’s not the point. The point is that this style of address is not allowed here. (I don’t think they would tolerate it in the Pit either, but I leave it to the mods there to decide.) Our main rule here is “Don’t be a jerk.” Calling people idiots and saying you’d like to shoot them is being a jerk whether you couch it as a “rhetorical device” or not. > [@](#): > > Sorry if someone reading this is “educationally deficient”, and so doesn’t get my classical references. “GEESH…!!!” If I really wanted to kill someone, they would not have had been given the option to object. I would have just terminated the “idjit”. Some people REALLY need to read basic history. I’m familiar with what happened at the Bastille, thank you. Your posting privileges are going to get guillotined if you continue to address people this way, is that clear? Don’t do it again.
