Uh, yeah, ALS, you think Andy and David Byron gave me a spanking. I’m especially fond of the way Andy provides cites for his factual arguments. I’m even more fond of the way DB spent his total of three posts mostly whining and bitching about evil the mods are. Whatever. **CanvasShoes** I think he’s referring to the profile button. I don’t know that it shows up when you’re logged off, though. ---

look at your post. in the line across from the time and date stamp are little icons with a check mark, “Profile” “Search” “Buddy” “edit” “quote” tags. Yours does not have an “email” tag or a “homepage” tag, I assume 'cause you have neither an email nor homepage listed in your profile. ---

Say, did all of you come here through that Ms. board? By that I mean SaL, margin, DavidByron, Achilles Last Stand. If so, isn’t that locale a better place to field this retarded debate? Because I find it… drumroll… _really fucking annoying._ Thanks. ---

I think they won by default just by reading your responses to their supposed “no content” posts. For the record, I am an anti-feminist of YOUR brand, \<–since you’re so adamant on spouting of the array of different forms of feminism.😃 I am also a anti masculinist of ANY brand. Wrap your brain around that and get back to me, ok? ---

In my experience, **Coldfire** is far too willling to “warn” posters who makes statements that he’s personally uncomfortable with. The rules against being a jerk were not intended to allow the moderators to enforce their own opinions AFAIK. Intelligent warnings of those who come dangerously close to being trolls, fine. Threatening people you don’t like isn’t acceptable behavior in a moderator. ---

I find it, for what it’s worth, really fucking annoying as well. That fifteen-car-pileup of a thread is over and done with. PLEASE stop arguing about it. And what the hell good does it do to argue on this message board about folks’ actions on other messageboards? Either have new discussions, or shaddup. Rehashing “he said - she said” is profoundly uninteresting. Daniel ---

Nah, it’s not off limits per se, fucking annoying as I may find it. I was merely suggesting that if y’all post at a board dedicated to feminism, that board might be more suited for this discussion. If you want to open a Great Debate on it, you’re free to. ---

Hey, look. It’s **TVAA** , a poster that was recently warned for being a jerk. And apparently, he thinks the warning was caused by personal prejudice, rather than by his own assholish behaviour. Interesting. Wrong, but interesting nonetheless. ---

If there is one thing I observed on this subject with any feminist, there is no such thing as a debate with a feminist here, there, or on any feminist board with anyone who isn’t lockstep with the likes of **Margin**. Bannings are the always the answer. Sure beats stepping up to the plate and although not intentionally, but rather assuredly, giving the likes of David Byron a better edge. But hey, thems the brakes, uh huh.😛 Thanks for the invite, maybe if **Margin** does a little soul searching she may decide to open one and invite all the “He-Man Woman Haters” she finds lurking in the shadows to stop by for a chit chat. 😉 ---

**Achilles** , if I smack a mosquito on my hand, does that mean I find the mosquito interesting? Maybe it does. It doesn’t mean the mosquito has anything to be proud of. Daniel ---

You are lying about me. Again. This has been pointed out to you in the past, you half-witted product of an insane lab experiment combining the DNA of a Down’s syndrome colobus monkey with the E. coli bacteria from Andrea Dworkin’s sigmoid colon after five days of diarrhetic voiding. You’re stupid. You suck. You aren’t fit to comb the pubic lice out of my ass-hair with a comb made from my discarded toe-nail clippings. Your ideas are worth less than the bloody clotted mucus I pick out of my nose after a three day coke binge. People follow your mother around in the park pointing at you and telling her she should clean up after her dog. Your ideas have the intellectual depth of the puddle I mopped out of my basement when the sewer backed up. The smell of your crotch would make Jeffrey Dahmer go vegan. If you fell into a well, Lassie would pee down on you and then go take a nap. Feminists like you make normal women want to clean the house, sign up for a Marabell Morgan seminar, and give their husbands unreciprocated oral sex. Milk cartons should carry pictures of your grip on reality. AIDS-infested crack whores who perform in Mexican sex shows fellating syphilitic donkeys at five dollars per matinee read your posts to reassure themselves that things could be worse. And beside that, you’re **icky**. Regards, Shodan ---

All right. I just read all the way to the end of this thread in the vain hope that whats-his-nuts would come back to the thread he started and post something, anything. An excoriation, an apology, a wry admission that he needs mint-flavored shoes. Anything. But no. Instead I got four pages of the same-old same-old, and not a peep from ol’ Braveheart. That is: really fucking annoying.
