> [@Riemann](#): > > It’s a hell of a thing, killin’ a thread. You take away all it’s got and all it’s ever gonna have. Many threads that live deserve death. And some threads that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out closures in judgement. For even the very wise mods cannot see all ends. Naah, Gandalf is nuts, that thread wanted putting down. ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > You are?! And all this time you never told me? I’m crushed!!! 😛 Not to worry, darling. My sex/gender/identity are all firmly in the “chick” column. Nevertheless, “I’m a dude” seemed to be the least ridiculous of the options. If there was a choice for “Are you fucking kidding me??” I would have picked that. ---

**Shakes** , I mean **Grrr** , you’re no fun anymore. I miss all those sneak-brag threads about your Hot GF. That was a simpler time, and I deem it a better time—a Golden Age, if you will. Now you are dour and grim, and given to taciturn, monosyllabic pronouncements such as “I’m a dude.” What has happened to you? ☹ ---

Now you are dour and grim, and given to taciturn, monosyllabic pronouncements such as “I’m a dude.” What has happened to you? ☹ Well, I no longer have a “hot” GF. I’m back to being single now. So perhaps that will satiate your cravings for schadenfreude. Also, I apologize if my acumen for articulation is not up to your standards. I will endeavor to do better. ---

> [@Grrr](#): > > Well, I no longer have a “hot” GF. I’m back to being single now. So perhaps that will satiate your cravings for schadenfreude. Schadenfreude? Of course not. I doubt anybody enjoyed seeing you lose something that obviously made you feel like your status amongst like-minded men was higher than it would normally be. I admit I was amused by your transparent efforts to work her ostensble sexual attractiveness into conversations, but as I bear you no ill will, I was also happy that you had something that made you feel proud of yourself. My wish for you is that your next girlfriend be “hot” as well, but that she also have other attributes that you feel are worthy of admiration. ---
