> [@](#): > > The individual’s preceding posts are all fairly straightforward and grammatically clean… I haven’t read her other posts to notice, but this OP was not “grammatically clean.” I wasn’t going to say anything. You know how I _hate_ to talk about grammar. I’m try to discern how we are an example of Groupthink and an example of hatred and intolerance at the same time. **Featherlou** , I have it on the best of authority that the “Cat Licks Ass” is a cat yoga position. Here, zinfandel? ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] And this:The individual’s preceding posts are all fairly straightforward and grammatically clean, and then the exit tantrum concludes with that awkward “gem”? Isn’t it _obviously_ a calculated attempt to add another random catchphrase to the SDMB’s vocabulary, a so-called brainfart like “gotcha ya” or “I burning your dog”?

Am I missing something here? Just did a very quick scan of her posts and they seemed to be about shorts,a salamander called squishy and er…well fuck all basically. Not so much independant thinking ,as in my opinion, thinking about subjects that no one over the age of twelve could give a flying fuck about. Or am I being too harsh? ---

[QUOTE=Girl From Mars] Man, this reminds me of an old Palmolive ad from the 80s - Madge the Manicurist pre-soaked all her customer’s fingernails in Palmolive washing detergent and advised them that “Palmolive softens hands while you do the dishes.” Madge’s catchphrase (to the shock of the client) was “You’re soaking in it.” Perhaps Elen really is trying to warn us of the dangers of too much Dope? [/QUOTE] I’m sorry. All you under 30 folk need to research your classic TV better. That ad was from the late 60s-early70s ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] I’m sorry. All you under 30 folk need to research your classic TV better. That ad was from the late 60s-early70s [/QUOTE] Sure, but it persisted well into the 80s. I could imagine a high percentage of posters growing up in the 80s and remembering that commercial. And really, who researches which era a certain commercial was born? ---

You just have to stick by your guns in here, no matter how much of a zerg rush you face. The problem is a majority of this board is against God, Conservatism, morality, and traditional values, and the fact that they’re in the BBQ Pit just means they’re angry as well. So of course, expressing anything with regards to those topics will get you flamed. But don’t let the angry namecallers run you off, you just have to call them out for their personal attacks and not respond in kind, and they’ll look like the idiot.
