I think it gives Mr. Fun here more of an inspiration not to cross the line, perhaps. Don’t Ask’s reputation (fairly or not) will be affected by whether or not 2.5" o’fun does in fact “try to be a good poster here”. I look forward to that being the case. If not, the mods will take care of it. So, no worries.

Two and a Half Inches of Fun, and right underneath it says ‘Member’. Hurrh, hurrh, hurrh…

Please do.
Seriously.
I like you, but I will kick the shit out of myself if I’m wrong and you simply enjoyed stringing us along.
Continue to start interesting threads and I will fight for you and debate for your membership as long as you hang around.
I’ll even promise to buy you the first round when you come to Boston.
If you enjoy insulting people and troll around here, I’m going to look like an idiot though.
ETA: Turn on your personal message option please. I would like to say hi.
May be perverse but it stops me feeling like those old farts who bitch and moan about “young kids today”. I am no fan of his particularly but thought he should get a go. I’ve paid for other people in the past.
I also am a founding member of the Socialist Equality Party that ran in the last election. I don’t believe in everything they stand for but I was willing to pay $25 to join to assist them in getting their message out. You need a certain number of paid members to be a valid party and the Electoral Commission rings random members to check that they really paid up.
Now that I think about it I have probably spent hundreds of dollars on Dopers who didn’t need it what with various exchanges, sending of postcards, contributions to help out at various times and other stuff.
Anyway I budget a set amount of money each year for charitable stuff so it’s money that someone else was going to get.
Ah, but which one?
Seconded.
I’m still rather disappointed that the “What’s a good length of time for intercourse?” thread was locked. I rather would have liked to participate.
Yeah, too bad it was started by someone who is “marked”. It would still be open if it were started by an old-timer, or if threads were judged here on their own merit and not on who started them.
Hey, you’re an old-timer. Start the thread tough guy.
That was exactly the thought I had when I saw it. Not only did it seem like a source of some fruitful discussion, it left much scope for ribald interjections.
I’m sure if an oldtimer had started it with some rambling flowery reminiscence about his failing sexual prowess, it would have been acclaimed a work of genius.
Later someone would have posted. “It’s threads like this that make me love the SDMB”.
I honestly do not see why that thread was closed especially when the following thread is still open:
It’s precisely what I described in post 112 of this very thread. I’ve seen it lots of times, you’re just the latest. I again recommend saving your 15 bucks, they will ban you if you start anything but the blandest of threads.
Why? I don’t give a shit how long it takes for other people to get their rocks off.
