Well, **AM/PM** , I was giving you the BOD, but you’ve settled all question of your guilt in a single post. I really must congratulate you, Sir. I’ve rarely seen an issue settled more completely, and without intervention by your intened target, no less. I think, at this point, that the much anticipated butt-kicking by **Esprix** would be gilding the lilly. There’s very little more that he can do to you, that would be any funnier than what you’ve done to yourself. Or was that your plan? ---

Come on, guys. This kind of pile-on is unseemly and does not reflect well on the membership of these boards. **AM/PM** has made some very valid points. I **am** incredibly insecure. **Esprix _is_** gay. Everyone else here **is** a cocksmoker. (I’m going for tone, not direct quotes, here.) I just can’t believe that a place which supposedly **commits itself to fighting ignorance** would be so intolerant of one who has obviously spent long, agonizing minutes coming up with the right turns-of-phrase to put his points across as clearly and succinctly as possible. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I will not be a party to this kind of “get the monster” (shut up, **monster** and **monstr** ) mob mentality. **AM/PM** has been nothing but kind, calm, and rational in his concise critiques of both SDMB policies and the actions of the administrators, mods, and members. I am stunned that you are all allowing yourselves to succumb to this type of scapegoating and rampant slander. I’m ashamed to be one of you. ---
