… I love you, man! Seriously; If I were gay, I would send Mr. Leather (a fellow Coloradan and a close, personal friend of mine) to seduce Dr. Boyfriend and I would steal you away for myself. But I’m straight, so you’ll have to settle for my sincere admiration, respect, and genuine appreciation for your positive qualities.
As someone who truly cares about you, I have to say that your current self-righteous whiny streak is very unattractive. Get over yourself, bud! No one here is out to get you. Well, none of the mods, at least.
Don’t get defensive. I’m not out to prove you’ve been acting like a jerk lately, I’m just pointing out my perception; if you disagree, I won’t belabor the point. But I would like to restore the perfection of my deep admiration and appreciation for a great guy.
And if anyone who doesn’t like Esprix posts in this thread, I’ll rip you a new one. Start your own damn thread if you want to just rag on the guy.
Your post sounds like it’s so full of conflicting emotions. I can’t tell if a) You want to teabag Esprix, b) criticize him, or c) Defend him from criticism.
It sounds like you want to give him some friendly advice, so wouldn’t an e-mail to him have been more appropriate?
My sincerest thanks to you, SingleDad - I was wondering when I’d get around to getting my own Pit thread. And here I thought it’d be for me sucking cock or something…
Look, I hear you, I really do, and I will fully admit that by Friday last week I was really feeling put-upon - I mean, c’mon, I was getting jumped on left and right. Did I deserve some of it? Hell yeah, but not all of what I got. And, like I said, it all kind of came at once, so I was kind of on the defensive. I didn’t think I was coming off as “self-righteous and whiny,” but maybe I did. (And was I really a jerk?) Mea culpa. Now you get over your cheap sorry self. (Kidding! Who loves ya!)
All last week I was just kind of in a crappy mood for reasons IRL that I’m not about to open up here (suffice it to say, change is in the wind for me). Actually, in a weird sort of way, I felt like a crochety old-timer - almost like Wally So I vented a little here. (Hell, if you remember, one of my very first posts on this very board was venting in a very un-me like way - go read the very old and very dead “homophobic bigots” thread, and I guarantee you wouldn’t recognize me from it, at least in the beginning. It was that thread that helped me shape myself on this board.)
So I’m not arguing with Tuba for deleting Otto’s comment any more nor asking about the rules of the Pit, and Snark and peaches have heard everything I have to say. Any other loose ends you were referring to I need to clean up?
Oh, and evidently there are people out to get me - seen the user name S-pricks yet? Scary. Plus OgreFade has a boner for me and won’t stop IMing me on AOL.
Seriously, you needn’t worry about me. We all go through ebbs and flows like this. It’s passed. (Although I am a bit more crochety than I was before… ;)) But thank you for the post anyway, ya big lug!
Eh, go fuck yourselves! All of you! And your little dog, too!
{ahem}
Thank you.
I got an e-mail from OgreFade saying he took objection to my using the phrase “has a boner for me,” so I’ll publicly state that as far as I know he’s not gay (obviously being banned and disparaged hasn’t stopped him from actually reading the board) - it was just an expression. (He does seem rather fond of me lately, though - you can interpret that as you see fit.)
Anybody else got any complaints about me? C’mon, you pansies! Bring it on!
(Kidding! Who loves ya!)
