Awww, see? You really do care? I suppose, then, you’ve seen me post in a wide variety of other threads that are - {gasp!} - _not_ related to homosexuality in any way, shape or form, nor have I turned them _to_ said topic. It’s just a shame you haven’t seemed to learn anything new yourself. I wouldn’t be pointing any fingers at anyone else, lest ye be called a one-trick pony yerself.

Okay, so I’m a semi-reg who’s been away for a while. Do I get a new poster as a tutor for what’s been going on while I’ve been away? Or do I tutor some poor newbie on how much better it was back in my day, how much tougher _we_ had it back when every other thread was a Fundamentalist Rant? Heck, you couldn’t go three threads without Phaedrus popping up and doing his little insanity dance all over your thought-line. Why, I had to walk through the snow- uphill- _ **both ways!** _ just to read Great Debates. And now all of these young whippersnappers are running around, and they don’t know… Er, sorry. Got in touch with my inner geezer there. Carry on. Oh, and I’m back. Hi. * * * JMCJ Give to Radiskull! ---

Totally unrelated aside in reply to **ultress** , so the rest of ye can just butt out and wander off now – (_Okay, I think they’re gone now. Ms.Crick and I were not married. I tried that once before, and it didn’t agree with my children from that union, so I kept the kids and fired their mother. Ms.Crick and I had an abrupt parting of the ways concerning issues that certainly had nothing to do with a simple message board, and it just seemed that the irony and humor of the shared SN rather lost its edge as a solo act._) Dr. Watson “Life is a God-damned, stinking, treacherous game, and nine hundred and ninety-nine men out of every thousand are bastards.” – Theodore Dreiser ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by Bast: > **Oops! Sorry my smilie didn’t work. Hey, maybe I do need someone to check my posts first.** Naw, that’s not how it works. But since you’ve expressed interest… You’ve been assigned to Cristi. Follow her wherever she goes on the board and post extravagant praise for every post she makes. If her posting schedule is inconvenient for you, thus preventing you from posting within a reasonable amount of time with the required praise, your designated alternate is _JohnCorrado_. If both your assigned poster and designated alternate have incompatible posting schedules, please reapply immediately. 🆒 🆒 🆒 🆒 🆒 🆒 🆒 🆒 🆒 🆒 ---

Follow him wherever he goes on the board and post extravagant praise for every post he makes. **THANK YOU!** An unsolicited mention - you made my day.
