Glenmorangie, **Spiritus**? Try the madeira wood finish if you can find it. It’s my favorite of that distillery’s offerings. ---

**obfusciatrist** , **DON’T**. The board is running slowly enough as it is. ---

> [@](#): > > The irony of this post goes beyond mere words. I am astounded. That was just an attempt to add some levity to the thread. I suppose it was like adding a packet of Equal to a pile of dogshit, but I don’t have a dog in this fight, and thought it might be worth a shot. What was it you found ironic? FTR, I have met **Zenster** IRL, but had about zero contact with him, more because of the seating arrangement than anything else. ---

obfusciatrist, what is the deal? Whatever lame point you are trying to make, it’s not really worth it—all you are doing is putting a strain on the hampsters and pissing us off. ---

Ahhhh…thanks for the caution **Joey** and **Rilchiam**. I _did_ wonder why I haven’t been able to access the board since about 8.00 am this morning…it’s now 3.30 pm, and for the first time, I can load a SD page! And **obfusciatrist** …why can’t you just acknowledge that you fucked-up, and let it go? OR CAN A BLOODY MODERATOR PLEASE GET THEIR ARSE IN HERE TO SHUT THIS DISASTER OF A THREAD DOWN? ---

The deal is that I thought it looked like fun to make stupid-ass long posts that had very little real new content in them. I was wrong. The first three were fun. After that it grew boring. Zenster showed amazing endurance in posting 43 of them (or however many there were). Besides, post length has no significant impact on server performance. ---

Why would I acknowledge I fucked up? I didn’t do anything worse than Arden Ranger telling her story of Zenster. ---

As **Zenster** hasn’t indicated any problem with closing this, I’ll repeat my request to close this thread. Thanks - Bubba. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zenster \* > \*\*And I think that shaved head is cooling your brain so much it makes you ill tempered. Why, you didn’t even laugh when I joked of your suffering from “premature Kojaculation.” > > You rose to my defense once upon a time but apparently have taken a more vindictive turn of late. You seem equally willing to snipe at me as drink that beer I bought you last time. I’ll try and remember that. You seemed to think that Christmas dinner at my house was pretty tasty at the time but maybe you’ve forgotten after all these years. Yeah, my very young and untrained wolf-hybrid kept nosing your crotch. Big shock, it’s what dogs do for a living. I’ll mention it here first to save you some precious time, just like I did when I helped you with your flat tire and got you a great deal on the replacement. I know, I know, it’s always; ‘What have you done for me _lately_?’ \*\* Irritated the crap out of me, THAT’S what you’ve done for me lately. On further review, “premature Kojaculation” is reasonably funny. But at the moment you said it, I was just wishing you’d SHUT THE HELL UP. You’re SO in love with the sound of your own voice and SO convinced that your recycled jokes are going to be the hit of the party … Jesus Christ. I’ve told you this before. As for this laundry list of nice things you did … I appreciate them, but, really, DO YOU WANT A GOLD STAR? A FREAKIN’ MEDAL? Are we bound for life because of those things? Oh, you know, I did cart your butt around in my car a few times – does that cancel my debt to you? ---

Excuse me. My tit has been in the wringer before. But I didn’t feel the need to crash the boards with a 10,000 reply, even making a point to reply to posts like “how do I use the ignore function” which had no bearing whatsoever on the outcome of the thread. I have no problem with Zen defending himself, or ‘squealing’ as he put it. But his method of doing so was COMPLETELY out of control, and spawned the EQUALLY out of control Obfus posting mimicking the giant quotations. ---

You, not I, chose to let the hate genie out of its bottle. > > In a long-ago thread, you brought up a splendid Hebrew term that I wish you’d share here again. The term referred to “repairing the world.” It’s something I try to do every day of my life, here at the boards and actively as well. If you wish for your apology to mean anything to me, please reflect long and hard on how your comments about me reconcile with what you know of “repairing the world.” > > I still have some difficulty in comprehending why you waited the better part of **three years** to finally make any mention to me of your mean-spirited drivel. Have you now noticed just how difficult it is to stuff all those icky nasty worms back into that itty-bitty little can? That’s what I’m having a problem with.\*\* I’m having a hard time deciding if you’re a crybaby, **Zenster** , or just a gigantic prick. **Kyla** said something that (arguably) shouldn’t have been said, and then apologized for it. You responded that you weren’t sure if you should accept it, at which point she reiterated her sincerity. If you had left it at that point, I’d be okay with it. But you have to exact your retribution _again_? Sweet Buddha, what do you want her to do? Send you a fucking Christmas goose and a 25 page handwritten letter of apology? She admitted that she fucked up – LET IT GO. Cock.
