People like that are fine to friend on Facebook, but would you want your daughter to private message one?

And what’s up with their weird names? **Honey** ; **BeautyTaint** ; **AuntCarol**. What’s wrong with decent normal names like **Qadgop** , **Senegoid** or **aruvqan**?

At what point did you wake up?

What’s wrong with decent names like that, is _they’re already taken,_ that’s what!

You wanna see a post in the wrong forum, **Honey** dear? Just take a peek through [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=340106). The fun starts right with Post #1, but the _real_ fun starts at Post #7.

Or get arrested?

This is why I miss the days when no editing was allowed. Imagine how sad “nm” would be instead of wonderful post #7!

But if you do walk out, walk out backward so I’ll think you’re coming in.

I’m not a boardist either; some of my best friends are posters on other message boards. BUT, I have to agree that letting all of those people run around on a slippery slope is like Blade trying to iceskate uphill in the dark with the sun in their eyes without a paddle. It’s not that we don’t want them, but if we take them, what’s next? We’ll all be forced into gay marriages with animals and before you know it, we’re all Communist Muslim Homosexual Vampire Figure Skaters from Kenya.

IS THAT WHAT THE MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD WANT TO HAPPEN???

:dubious:

😛

Srsly, welcome to the Dope, folks!

Dammit, We cannot allow this! I refuse to be forced into a gay marriage with animals! I’m not gay, dammit! I only want female sheep!

Ooh, and now there’s a [Glossary](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=743347)!

I stopped reading the Shopping Channel Snark thread, but seeing it continue to grow somehow gives me a warm feeling. Like hearing kids outside playing and having fun.

Ssshhhhhhh! The First Rule of the Game of Thrones thread is that you don’t talk about the Game of Thrones thread.

I hope someone informs them about the Cardboard Tube Rule.
