[QUOTE=CarnalK] Answer what question? [/QUOTE] IIRC, he asked when you stopped beating your wife. This thread’s really lowered my estimation of you, **Tuckerfan**. Not that you care, since you don’t know me from Adam, but there it is. Accusing someone of pedophilia just 'cause he openly mocks and spotlights some of the SDMB’s biggest trainwrecks? You display a scary lack of perspective. (Not to mention a shocking unawareness of Mike Nichols movies.) ---

As this thread has been successfully hijacked away from the title subject, Karl Rove, and since another perfectly good Karl Rove thread was closed just to make way for this one, may I humbly request of the Moderators that this hijacked thread be locked and that the other Karl Rove thread be reoopened? Its not like the hijackers can’t settle their pissing contest in a seperate Pit thread of their own making. ---

[QUOTE=Tuckerfan] The origin of your username. Is it, in fact, a reference to pedophilia? Simple yes or no answer is all you need to provide and I’ll consider showing your exactly how “low” I can take this. [/QUOTE] really. That’s quite the stretch on the user name thing. You could just as well accuse you 'cause you know, a person who tucks kids in at night would be a tucker and a fan of same… This is **not** your finest hour. I don’t know **CarnalK** , have some awareness of snarking and so on, but don’t pay attention to who is who there. He may be the biggest asshole of them all for all I know, but is it really necessary to run for that same distinction? ---

You display a scary lack of perspective. [/quote] Actually, he does more than openly mock the trainwrecks here. He participates in a forum where people openly announce their intention to “bring down the Dope” and, like Homer Simpson complain about not being allowed “in their crappy club for jerks.” It’s population is made up of a number of people who’ve been banned from this board (in some cases their _original_ banning occured some 5+ years ago) and are somehow incapable of getting on with their lives. One would think that if they _were_ so much better than the rest of us, we’d be beneath their notice, but apparently not. > [@](#): > > (Not to mention a shocking unawareness of Mike Nichols movies.) Who? **Count Blucher** , actually, whenever this thread dies, I fully intend to take at least a 1 month posting sabbatical from here, so if **CarnalK** chooses to move the topic to another thread, I won’t be following. **wring** , I thought that it’d been established that I’d already claimed that title. ---

[/QUOTE] **Tuckerfan** , I thought this was pretty clear: [QUOTE=Giraffe] **Tuckerfan** , if you have a problem with something **CarnalK** said about you on another website, you need to handle it off-board. The Pit is for issues between posters related to their posting here, and here only. [/QUOTE] Any issues you have with **CarnalK** ’s participation or posting on another forum/chat/blog _need to be handled off-board, not here_. This includes referencing them to bolster your case in an on-board argument with him. This is a warning to knock it off. ---

\*\*I’d like special dispensation to start a different Karl Rove thread. \*\* Let whomever settle whatever about who is/isn’t racist and whose Daddy’s gonna beat up who elses Daddy after school in this thread. Its an issue that is still hot & deserves discussion before everyone drifts off to wonder ‘Who Knocked Up Jenna’ before summer re-runs and the pending Trisha Nixon style gag-me wedding… ---

Huh. I’ve been working with so much in the way of chemistry this week I was seeing “CarnalK” as some sort of odd Calcium-Radon-Aluminum-Potassium mineral. Definitely radioactive. ---

[QUOTE=Una Persson] Definitely radioactive. [/QUOTE] Yeah, but it’s a room temperature superconductor, with an obscenely high critical current. What are you going to do?
