> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > In spite of all your bullshit attempts to suggest otherwise, I never made any attempt to “pry” or get information out of Lilairen at all. I said “I’m guessing…” I never expected an answer but (I thought) she had implied one anyway from some of the other things she said. If you have the time to bitch about my implication that you’re a nosy fucker, surely you have the time to address some of the points made in this thread about your behavior? How about some of the points in my OP? You got any kind of real defense? How about that admission that you didn’t know what the fuck you were talking about? Anything to offer besides attacks on my involvement? I will answer that one, though: You made it my fucking business when you pissed it all over GD. You insulted me, my friends, and my intelligence, and now you’re insulting everybody in this thread who’s trying to actually take you seriously enough to speak to you about your problem. If you don’t want people to get hard-ons for you don’t pose in the pages of Modern Jackass Monthly with your idiot hanging out. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > No I did NOT “harp” on them. I made generic statements about people with trauma histories. You kept projecting yourself into every statement I made. “Polygamous women are unhealthy” is a statement about all polygamous women. It is not a statement about “polygamous women other than the ones that I actually have to deal with right here and now”. And given that you _started_ your responses to me with speculations about having been abused, and referred back to me several times (including the “ **Lilairen** all but admitted I was right” in post #93"), I don’t think I’m projecting all that damn far. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > I guess that was a moment of pile-on exhaustion. My exchanges with **kalhoun** had started in the other thread and mostly pertained the Tom Green brand of polygamy. That was some tired reading on my part, I guess. I don’t rembember relating that question to you in my mind. I was talking about the creepy guys with harems, not all poly paradigms. Is this intended to be an apology for insulting the men I love? ---

Well, you did start the thread. :rolleyes: Christ! Do you not understand how message boards work?!? People are going to offer opinions on any matter that is presented. If you want a “safe place” where you won’t encounter people that don’t see the world as you do, go to a fucking board that will masturbate over every fucking thought and opinion you have. There is enough to be pissed off about in the world. This shit is bugging you? Fuck it. I’m off to the strip club to pick up my second wife. ---

Waverly, I didn’t read your post before I made mine. I’ve seen the same line used in other threads - never true. ---

I just want to point out that the google ads now advertise “Waverly & more” I don’t know what that “more” is, but I’m officially intrigued. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-you-diogenes-you-were-ignorant-and-rude/344505.md?page=3)
