Is it ethical?

Actually, I’m wrong. Wanting to hurt someone back for a perceived insult is the exact opposite of this.

Not hurt – just return the negative energy…

Have you considered masturbating to release that negative energy?

My sexuality is none of your business.

Only if you do so with a Monkey Island style comeback.

Hey, you’re the one who is obsessed with strangers on the internet sex lives.

And so you don’t have to ask I got laid Monday evening at about 9PM.

Uh, yeah I’m aware of that. It was relevant to the thread. “Obsessed” is completely ridiculous however. “Mildly curious” is more fitting.

How does one do that, with a postage-paid return envelope?

May I inquire as the hirsuteness of your neckbeard?

You’re the one wanting to “release” your “negative energy”.

Did you serve in USAF? When?

How many civilians were killed ?

I’m picturing very negative bukake. :frowning:

Are you actually equating sexuality and/or masturbation to killing civilians in military exercises?

No. I am just curious.

Kittens are cute! Look-there’s a crack in the sidewalk. Yum, bananas!

edited to add: I’m sorry-I thought the OP had changed the topic to non sequiturs.

No it isn’t.

…What? I mean, I know why you’re asking that. For some reason, you’re equating it to the same level of offense as someone asking when you last had sex but…what? You might as well ask someone if they were ever a plumber, and if so, how many pipes they cleaned. Although, that might make more sense than the military one. Look. There’s nothing insulting about asking when someone last had sex. Some people might consider it rude, but not a slap to the face. Hell, I think if someone made a poll asking that same question, loads of people would respond.

I didn’t ask when he last had sex. I merely suggested that increasing the frequency of a certain action might release those “negative energies” he’s so worried about.

Hate speech! Hate speech!

I don’t know if it’s ethical, but it’s pointless. You shouldn’t feel irritated by completely undeserved and gratuitous insults. Just :rolleyes: at the idiocy. I’m luckily essentially impervious to that sort of crap, that only leads me to feel despise for the moron who uttered it. It served me well over the years.
