> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Nacho4Sara \* > **I remember SD pre-People Pages - very rarely did you have any idea what posters looked like (unless you skimmed the TM profile pages or personal webpages). Still, there was a helluva lot of flirting going on.** [sub]I actually preferred that and stayed away from the People Pages for a long time because I didn’t WANT to know what people looked like. I was afraid that knowing might color my opinion of them one way or another. But I also prefer people thinking I’m an insensitive boob because it buys me some slack, so don’t tell anybody.[/sub] ---

**Dropzone** you are an insensitive boob and a slacker to boot. Talk about being a peacemaker, how can you say that when you start over half the trouble on the board? (Now is this a good hijack on a thread or what?) ---

I am a _Boomer_, not a _Slacker._ I **do** start my share of trouble, or at least continue it long past the point of inanity, don’t I? Oughta watch that. ---

> [@](#): > > Duuuuuuude! Sweeeeet! > > Thanks Nacho! What can I say? I kick my own ass everyday for spontaneously picking my screenname from 1995, when I had AOL, as my SDMB handle. I’m truly impressed by posters who are ten times more creative and thoughtful than I ever was. Personally, I’m hoping this thread will soon die a quick and painless death, not because of the topic (Hama was right on, AFAICS, and my respect for her ballsyness has again increased exponentially) but because it has been interpreted and re-interpreted to the point of meaningless. As much as I like being told that I’m right on (I can’t believe it either, folks - in the Pit, no less!), no one is walking away from this thread happy - except, of course, **Democritus**. 😛 ---

Not to start any more shit, but it should be noted that Demo did indeed make friends and fall madly in love on this very board. And not to kick up any more dirt but I’m laughing so much I’m crying here. All this self-righteousness is flat-out hilarious. But carry on. Lord knows _nobody_ flirts in The Pit. ---

I’m doing fine **Drop**. Got a little anemia, been walking around a lot, you know, my bit to keep (or get) in shape. The commute to my job is a bitch. Oh fuck it! I’m absolutely worthless when it comes to flirting. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-was-going-to-start-a-pit-thread-about-sexywriter/58523.md?page=4)
