I just wanted to point that section of the sentence out and reiterate what Homebrew said about cold medicine.
I thought this part made sense.
I believe the “knees wound so tight” comment was referring to folks who would (presumably) have a ‘knee jerk’ reaction so strong that they’d actually hit their chins.
I’m gonna again ask Lib everything ok?? it’s just that, well, you often (IMHO) come into mod complaint threads commenting positively (especially for Tuba for example). anyhow.
moving on to the OP:
what exactly is your preferred outcome here? If you wanted an explanation of what you did that got your thread locked, I’d have thought an email approach would satisfy that need. If you want to ultimately head a trainwreck/flameout/suicide by mod thread, you’re well on your way.
I haven’t read pizzabrat’s other threads, but I did just read the whole thread referenced in the OP. I do not think pizzabrat was being stupid or a jerk. Perhaps his posts were slightly insensitive and/or unseemly, but nothing struck me as out of line or seemed much different than other things I’ve seen in sex threads. However, the thread probably should have originally gone in MPSIMS since it wasn’t really much of a rant.
Otto, would you be bitching out pizzabrat this hard if he was gay, and describing his frustration at listening to his hunky straight male roommate having sex with a girl? I think not. I really don’t understand why this thread stuck in the craw of so many dopers - was it a perceived anti-gay bias? Or simply because you thought it was “stupid”?
Also, I thought this snippet in the original thread was just hilarious:
(Aside to Lynn: did you think it was funny too, or is an egregious rules violation never funny to the person who has to deal with it?)
P.S.
Nice post, Lib.
I would bitch at anyone who said that lesbian or gay sex “angers and confuses” them. I would consider anyone who says that lesbian or gay sex “angers and confuses” them and then indicates it was a joke to be a jerk.
If pizzabrat had complained that the sex was too loud or that the roommates were being inconsiderate about the time, place or noise level of sex generally. That isn’t even close to what happened here. He complained that he got initially turned on at the sex noises, then became angry and confused at the idea of the almighty penis having no role in the goings-on. I don’t see that your scenario is analogous.
Huh? I didn’t mean that the mods were insane — it’s the people who open these complaint threads. I reckon they figure if they try it one more time, something different will happen.
He is.
Why set limits?
Hmm. Ok, I see where you’re coming from. I guess I never believed he was really “angry and confused”, I just (perhaps incorrectly) interpreted it as a kind of garden variety “meh, I’m sexually frustrated” post, written with what was perhaps a poor choice of words.
People who really are angered and confused by gay sex … well, yeah, those people need to be enlightened.
I started this thread because I was up too late (I finally went to bed at dawn), angry, defeated, hurt, and groggy and the same time, and I don’t know what proper protocol is about complaining about unjust lockings. But I’m pleasantly surprised by the alarming dearth of wrecks, flames, and angry mods.
Good point - I obviously won’t be doing that. However, it’s mainly because we’re nowhere near close enough for me to joke about their private sexual activities.
Except behind their backs.
Yes, obviously.
I’m positive the powers that be would prefer email.
Of course, you will not object when everyone makes fun of you behind your back. Turnabout is fair play.
Which way is pizzabrat’s back? I wanna play fair…
‘is pizzabrat feces? should we hate it?’
Tee hee, I like that.
There is alot more piling on here at straight dope than at other boards, you just got unlucky.
Fair’s fair. There’s no reason to single out pizzabrat for using this board to make fun of somebody from real life. There have been posts beyond counting by other people doing the same thing (and I include myself here).
Stupidity and pizzabrat are the macaroni-and-cheese of the SDMB, I’ve noticed.
Or, if you prefer, peanut butter and chocolate.
I can’t figure out if pizzabrat is a stupid, annoying guy or a whiny, self-centered woman.
A hermaphrodite, perhaps?
