LOL, we have baseboard heaters (which now that I think about it would be even more uncomfortable). And I’m fine.
He did eventually come back, and apologized perfunctorily. Then he unexpectedly fucked off to stay with a friend. So the futon that I prevailed upon my mother to lend me and drive to my place never got used.
If we must continue the hijack, then- You didn’t answer my question: “What difference does a posters sex have?” Why make the big deal about such a tiny correction? The correction* was *petty and pedantic. Unless you were saying we have to give the poster a break since she’s a girl? :dubious:
Nor did I accuse the poster of anything, esp of being a bigot. :rolleyes: I simply said we can’t assume it’s a whoosh until the poster comes back and explains. And, it wasn’t a whoosh, I was correct. Many other posters wanted it explained also.
In the co-ops we had a big fishbowl of condoms on the bathroom counter in the main public restroom. Whenever the campus was having its Sexual Awareness Free Condom Extravaganza (possibly advertised under a different name), we would generally snag a handful each.
Dickish behavior on the part of your guests, though, matt. I mean – wait – dickish was probably not my best choice of words. Dashed rude, how about that…
jjimm, I’m thinking for the condoms maybe something like mints on the pillows. A decent workhorse vibrating dildo in the nightstand, fully charged, a choice of towels for the solitary practitioner, and a copy of The Joy of Sex with a ‘Placed Here By The Gideons’ stamp on the cover.
I may be truly repressed at heart: I can’t imagine having sex, even with my significant other were I to have one, at someone else’s house. Assuming I was only staying for a day or two, at least… I don’t pack a vibrator on trips, either.
I’m not saying any such thing. I don’t think a tad of bolding is making “a big deal”. I wanted to reflect the depth of my research, which included visiting her homepage and reading her posts. I was establishing my credentials, so to speak.
You stated that it quacked like a duck etc., which sounded to me like you were stating that the poster likely meant what she said. If the case was in fact that you meant that the obvious answer was that a third-party, illegitimate poster was to blame, I cheerfully rescind any implication regarding ducks and bigotry. I concluded the latter myself after looking into things, as I stated. I also eagerly awaited the explanation.
You quoted me before posting this, but I don’t know what you mean by “the sentiment,” “the comment,” and “them”. So no, I do not “get it”. I know that my comments you quoted were directed to DrDeth, so I’m not sure what it is you are so patiently explaining to me.
I actually was leaning towards “posting while drunk” , but the posters explanation makes more sense. I just wasn’t willing to accept “whoosh”. Thank you for your explanation.
The sentiment: “You gay you deserve it, and a whole lot more.” was posted. I directed my comment
to the person who posted the sentiment. The fact that a fellow poster was Hal Bristoned (link goes to a zombie thread, posted to explain what that term means in case the reader doesn’t know) doesn’t change that someone (Not the person who paid the subscription to the SDMB, a co-worker) came here and posted such a repellant idea here, so what I said to the person who posted that still stands. What the others said still stands too, in a way, even though they know now that it wasn’t the “true” Marlitharn that posted that post.
Now I see the issue; my bigot statement referred to my misunderstanding of DrDeth’s duck-quacking statement. It was completely unrelated to your Fred comment. I think everybody sees why everybody was confused, and we’re all just glad that hateful bullshit didn’t really flow from the fingers of a Doper.
I can see something like that happening to me, posting while intoxicated and making some ironic statement that seemed the absolute height of hilarity to me, but really just made me look like a jackass to everyone else. Please quote me on this when it does eventually happen!
