Not really a pitting as much as an acknowledgment that I am talking about you behind your back. And I don’t like to do that. Here are a few of the things that I was saying about you and why I find you scarier than a tuberculosis riddled influenza sufferer with an uncontrollable cough standing directly behind me in an elevator.

Do you think the author of “Sophie’s Choice” was looking for a situation where it would be “cool” to kill a child too? ---

Um, go [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=291441) for more examples of this person’s interesting belief system. Glad I’m never going to have children to implement these ideas before their even old enough to talk or walk. :eek: (And I had a nice thoughtful post written out, but couldn’t figure out how to specifically point to only what one person says, so I gave up. How _do_ you do that??) ---

Squink- That is probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen. If the second crane had fallen in I think I would have died from laughing too hard. ---

Eh, I don’t think **Karl** is scary in any shape or form. I **do** sometimes think he tries to be funny or get across something he found amusing and it just falls flat, either from slightly awkward wording or just no one else finding the particular scenario amusing. Every person isn’t a Master of Wit. And I kind of like the “If you had to do one or the other…” questions. ---

Thank you **Biggirl**. For the life of me, I can’t ever seem to remember and end up trying to use the properties/URL from “posting a reply” to that specific person. Obviously that doesn’t work. Then I go about it in probably a half dozen other ass-backwards sort of ways and never get there from here. ::: furiously copying and saving this information somewhere indestructible and permanent ::: Mucho gracias again senora. ---

Do you know what is even scarier than me? Nothing. Well, maybe clowns with nipple rings. You be the judge. Imagine the Sophie’s Choice that clown might have to go through. Now that is scary. ---

> [@Milkman Dan](#): > > **DNFTT** Mr. **Dan** sir, just so you’ll know. I believe that’s against board rules to publicly accuse another member of being the “T” word. Instead, you’re supposed to use the Report This Point (up in the right hand corner – the exclamation point) function to alert the PTB. Of course, I’m not a moderator; just don’t wish to see anyone in trouble. ---

Which totally reinforces my stance on fundamentalists. It’s not the belief structure. It’s the sanctimonious self righteous bullshit attitude and the attempts to force those belief structures on every other person on the planet that gets right up my nose and makes me want to chain them to a chair and lock them in a room and force them to watch Dogma a few thousand times. _deep breath_… …Okay, I’m better now.
