[QUOTE=DudleyGarrett] The word “fat” is so fucking derogatory. If male, please use “cuddly”, “stocky”, or “teddy-bear-like.” If female, please consider “big beautiful woman”, “full-figured”, or “slightly overweight.” KTHX. [/QUOTE] Actually, “fat” is a perfectly useful descriptive word. The problem comes in when someone uses it in a derogatory way. That said, I’mma sit on the first person calls me “fluffy.” ---

[QUOTE=Marley23] **Valteron** was definitely never banned. And, uh, if you really thought he’d been banned and come back somehow, the thing to do is probably ask one of the mods. 😉 [/QUOTE] If the thread were anywhere but in the BBQ Pit, I probably would have. (Just don’t look for my posts in the fat opera singers thread, please…) ---

[QUOTE=Revenant Threshold] He’s simply following the basic rules of defending yourself on the internet. Step 4: Wait past valid disagreements until stupid disagreement appears; reply only to stupid disagreement. [/QUOTE] So I guess yours is the disagreement I should reply to, Revenant? 😃 And by the way, how do you “wait past” something? Did you mean “wade”? ---

[QUOTE=Airman Doors, USAF] The irony of this is so thick you can almost reach out and touch it. For the record, you can stop posting any time you want to. [/QUOTE] I know I can. Unlike you. If I were you, Airman, I would call the police and report the guy who is putting a gun to my head and making me read Valteron’s postings. 😃 For my part, I am having a marvellous time watching all you stuffed shirts take youreslves and this forum so seriously. 😛 ---

[QUOTE=ivan astikov] Yes, but there is no correlation between a “difficult hotel guest”, and a “gay”, is there?

All of you people piling on me with your righteous indignation was amusing for the first 30 postings or so, but now it is getting boring, so I think I will just have a game of chess or two with the computer. Feel free to continue jumping up and down and throwing dung like angry monkeys. BTW, the belief that I had been banned from this site may be based on the fact that I have been busy at my country house with an extension I have been building, and also my spouse and I have been travelling a lot. Plus, my interpreting business is thriving, which keeps me very busy. And finally, I have been absorbed with my German language lessons. But I still love ya all, and nothing is more fun than listening to the outraged simians yelling in the trees when I make them uncomfortable with a little blunt speech! ---

[QUOTE=Valteron] Boy, Skipmagic is really a piece of work. He makes me laugh. First, he had to change the title of my thread about opera singers for the sake of political correctness. Now, he has closed the thread because I dared to depart a little from the main subject in a couple of my posts after people alleged that I hate fat people. Everyone knows that threads run all over the place on these message boards, and are usually tolerated unless the moderator has it in for the creator of the thread. You were just WAITING for the flimsiest excuse to shut down my thread, weren’t you Skip? 😃 Can’t you just see Skipmagic dressed like a French Gendarme like Claude Raines in _Casablanca_, declaring: “I am shocked, yes shocked, to find out there has been a departure from the original subject in an SDMB thread. I must close it down immediately!” For actual footage opf Skip in action, see the [last 10 seconds of this video.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iYbEPZVVIA&feature=related)😃 I have learned not to let the self-righteous “disciplinary measures” of the moderators like Skip and Tomndebb bother me. If they banned me, it would probably be a huge favour because then I would no longer waste time on SDMB arguing with a bunch of losers. You see, I have a secret weapon that I suspect most of the moderators and frequent posters on SDMB do not have. It is called a life. Try getting one. [/QUOTE] I’m shaking my head. Good Christ, but you are an obtuse fuckhead. ---
