It ain’t my thread; dunno why you see the need to tell me. FTR, I think both suggestions are excessively anal and should be roundly mocked.

Just missed the edit. [This](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=410122) is the thread (or rather, one of them) in question. There was another one later, but this is the one I specifically recalled.

Because you mentioned one request but not the other. And not only did you not mock the obscenity one, you also corrected another poster for not realizing that it may be being respected.

The same way you tie yours.

And your comment is pretty par for the course for RO, isn’t it?

Like I said. Exactly like you tie yours. You’ve described it to a T.

Wow, I’ve forgotten how fun these RO threads are!! It’s a wonder I wish people would label them so I don’t have to have all this fun! :rolleyes:

So you’ll stay out of any thread with “RO” in the subject? Good to know!

Errrm. Do you know what RO means? I’m beginning to think you do not.

Tell you what. When someone comes forward with a post about how Somali pirates have personally hurt them then this thread isn’t RO. Interesting RO, but RO none the less.

Well, yes, I agree this thread is RO. However, the sense in which **H & R** appears to be using the term is…off.

Dunno; people getting pissy is standard MO some types of threads including RO.

Just ask Dr. Seuss’s SO.

You’ve pretty clearly never met my mother. It only starts with a roll of newspaper. Scolding will follow. Lots of scolding. Scolding continues until there is both a statement of remorse that would convince a hanging judge and a promise of non-repetition. My mother is only 78 and not to be trifled with.

Heh heh … that’s what I was going to post, **BrainGlutton**. In fact, someone posting a link to that comic in another thread about Somali pirates a couple years ago is what introduced me to **Casey and Andy** in the first place (and webcomics in general, but **Casey and Andy** will always reign supreme in my heart). So here’s to you, hard-working pirates of Somalia.
