Therapy might help. They could probably help you with the cranio rectal inversion, as well. ---

Hmm, not sure I care for that zinger. You probably wouldn’t understand, but as a health professional I dislike using the need for therapy as an insult. If **Lord Ashtar** or **Musicat** (I’m not sure which you refer to) actually needed therapy you might have discouraged them from seeking it. ---

If **Lord Ashtar** or **Musicat** (I’m not sure which you refer to) actually needed therapy you might have discouraged them from seeking it. Actually, it wasn’t a need to use it as an insult. Merely as a suggestion. From one healthcare professional to another. ---

I guess the cranio-rectal thing threw me. Maureen you are so bad at insulting people I’m drawn to two possible conclusions: 1. You had a very friendly childhood 2. You were locked in a closet. Either way, the optimist in me says “what a fighter”. Either you survived ten years on table scraps to become a “health professional” or you are struggling with the unwieldy task of flaming people so you’ll fit in. You go super trooper, dreams are gonna find you.(radio is on) ---

To answer **Essured:** (Damn hamsters ate my post – “Invalid thread specified”. Let’s try again.) If you look at the adjacent posts to those I cited in [that thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=302076) by the same posters, you will see other references, sometimes couched in more obscure language than “the recent unpleasantness.” > [@vogevixen](#): > > Pass. In fact, I wish I had the $5 back from when I joined last year…Re: the recent etc. Yeah, that sort of sealed the deal. Not so much for the Tuba thing, but because of the way people are responding to it. And some are on the fence: > [@CrazyCatLady](#): > > I’m not willing at this point to say that I’m not going to renew because they’re handling this badly. But neither am I willing at this point to commit to renewing because they’re sure to handle this well. Only time will tell if these Dopers will renew or not, but at least it is under consideration. ---

> [@Futile Gesture](#): > > In reply to the OP; > > AMEN! > > There are too many drama queens around here who _clearly_ don’t get enough excitement IRL, so they save up their histrionics for the SDMB. The sooner they make their grand exit the better. If we threw them a special party do you think they’d go now? Are you kidding? I put them in the same category as those Americans who have been “moving to Canada” for the last four years. Besides, if they left they’d have to be n00bs all over again, with a postdometer set to zero. Most of those who were serious about leaving have already gone without “The Big Announcement”. You can’t (AFAIK) get a refund so why stick around if this place offends them so much? The rest just want affirmation and don’t want to invert their genitalia (even if only virtually). 😃 ---

Either you survived ten years on table scraps to become a “health professional” or you are struggling with the unwieldy task of flaming people so you’ll fit in. You go super trooper, dreams are gonna find you.(radio is on) That’s nice, sweetie. I’m just having a hard time scraping up the necessary invective to put any feeling into it. It’s not so much that I’m annoyed, or even trying to insult you. But your incessant whining is nerve wracking. If you’re that put out and offended, go away, already. Door’s open, right over there. Then your poor, offended sensibilities can mend, and we can all get on with our ives. ---

Cute. You need to work on your aim. Anyway the moral of my story is: **Lord Ashtar** I don’t care you are renewing and there was no need for this thread to announce it. ---

I happen to give a fuck who renews and who doesn’t. There are at least a half dozen current dopers whom I’m willing to pay an anti-subscription to if they’ll go away. ---

Since I’ve been mentioned I suppose I’ll reply. There are many reasons why I’m leaving. The TD incident is one of them. That said I don’t think that I’m making a big deal about it and couldn’t give one swinging fuck if it bothers the OP or not. I’m not the one starting fucking threads about it. As we say over here. Go ask me bollocks you fucking muppet. ---

I’m with Waverly. I think I might pay extra if I could vote a couple of people off this island. Then again I don’t really want to see any Lord of the Flies action happening. Mostly cause I’m sure it won’t go well for me. 😃 ---
