Well, I see I missed the big brouhaha. I figured carrot’s comments were in the same vein as mine. I mean, I said I was worried gays would be sucking dick instead of translating intercepted arabic communiques, and he built an even better pun on what I said. It’s that fucking Ender you gotta watch out for. Jesus. ---

OK. It was a joke. Therefore, I retract my aspersion. However, you may want to reconsider stuff like that in the future since nobody knows a damn thing about you yet. But other than that, welcome, make yourself at home, and be cool. 🙂 ---

Or no, her mother was Henry VIII’s SISTER!!! D’uh! That means that Mary Queen of Scots’s mother was Henry VII’s DAUGHTER! (D’oh!) ---

Lib, I appreciate the effort, and I could see why you reacted the way you did. At first glance, I was upset by his post in that thread. His later posts, however, made me reconsider. I can see why you would call him out, based on the first post in isolation, because it wasn’t funny, and given the tone of the thread, with the Military Apologists waxing poetic about how the ban on gays is a good thing, it sounded serious. But I think it was just a very poor attempt at humor. Kirk ---

Well, then. I’m satisfied to say that my intentions were good, but that I overreacted. For that overreaction, I admit that I was wrong, and I apologize to Carrot. Thanks, Kirk.
