The thread stared in Cafe Society, got moved to Great Debates (without my knowledge) where I was invited to bring it to MPSIMS, and when I did, I got invited **here** , so here I am, asking…

**WHAT THE FUCK IS IT ABOUT AN INNOCENT QUESTION THAT YOU NUMB-NUTS DO NOT UNDERSTAND???**

Take a look back at the fucking OP, and tell me where I have pissed y’all off? I asked one question, got one **fucking** one-word answer, and you fuck-heads did exactly what I figured you would do: You piled on! Typical SDMB behavior, and not only did the “teemings” pile on, the mods decided to take their turn as well.

I won’t tell y’all that you suck, but I will shake my head in wonder asking myself how many of you **do.**

God, what a pitiful bunch of people, who won’t even use the etiquette to ask what is meant, or ask for clarification.

Shaking my head and walking away…

I just renewed, but if that money can be used to help someone else, then use it with my authority. I’m done.

Having looked over the threads in question (there’s five minutes I’ll never get back) I have to say: you’re overreacting. HUGELY.

**Quasi** , we both know what this is about. In fact, I’m sure several posters know what this is about. This isn’t going to help. It will only make it worse. I’m begging you. Please do yourself a favor and ask **Giraffe** to close this.

You really don’t want to know, not least because you’ll feel like you’ve spent the last week on a steady diet of stupid food and really bad acid.

SImply put, the comparison you made was not valid, and you were told why. Why you continued (and continue) to make a big deal over this is beyond me.

Is this the same guy who went on a date with a mod (can’t remember who) then posted about it, then melted down over it? If not, please excuse the intrusion, and return to your regularly scheduled meltdown.

It may be entirely conjecture on my part, but I believe our (probably inebriated) OP is trying to prove he’s fine, JUST FINE!! Not that it’s coming across as manic or desperate.

Oh, dear **Quasi** , I know you’ve taken time off the board in the past but might I suggest yet _another_ vacation until you can get your ‘reactions’ in vague synch with the ‘replies’.

'Cos at the moment mate, none of it is making any sense at all. If you need to, as you already know, my email’s in my profile.

But stop burning bridges you pryromaniac!! 😃

A pryromaniac is a _special_ sort of fire-lighter, and should not be confused with a typo on my part.

Much. 😃

Not to be confused with a Pryormaniac, who lights _himself_ on fire.

I don’t really understand this incohorent rant of yours. I have no idea what are you talking about. Then I look through the links, and I still have no idea what you are complaining about. People gave more than a one-word answer to all your threads. They give good reasons why your comparision is unsuitable. It became a Great Debate, well, because peopel started debating in it.

Is that what you are unhappy about?

First step of of any communication: Say what you want clearly.

Let see if we can get on to the second step or not, hmm?

Damn my dyslexia… I read that with the r and the y reversed and in proper position and spent five minutes trying to figure out what you were correcting. Yeeeeesh.

As for the OP, seriously, ask for this to be closed. Nothing good will come of it. And if you think that the GD thread was brutal, this is going to be a blood bath.
