Miller Lies

@OldnCrinkly

I believe the meaning was completely changed. I do not think it was an accident.

:rolleyes:

My apologies for the mangled quote, OldnCrinkly. Originally, I’d intended to post something like this:

@OldnCrinkly

Miller, I did say reasonable request. That being said, I am not sure that discussing sex with someone else’s 12 yo (without their knowledge) is reasonable. That’s pretty young.

I didn’t say anything about discussing sex with children. “It’s okay for boys to like other boys,” is not a discussion about sex. “You’re not going to burn in hell because you want to hold hands with Tommy,” is not a discussion about sex. “I’m gay, and I have friends and family and a partner who all love me and accept me,” is not a discussion about sex.

It would indeed be an edge case, and a tough one, I’m sure.

It is an edge case, but I don’t think it’s tough at all.

I decided it was dumb to split up such a short post like that, so I edited it so my first paragraph appeared after your post, followed by a rewritten second paragraph. When I cut the text out, I accidentally included your sentence in the cut, and left my sentence in its place. The sentences were similar enough that I didn’t catch the mistake on preview.

I’ve edited my post in the original thread to correct my error. Again, my apologies for making it appear that you had said something the opposite of what you’d intended.

My bad. I misread the changed quote. My apologies. Also reading what Giraffe wrote is how I saw Millers response which probably helped in my misreading of the changed quote.

Again sorry.

Don’t feel bad, it gave people a chance to do some important nitpicking.

How dare you! Now the Usual Gang of Pedants and Whiners won’t have anything to bitch about (fat chance!) And to not only correct your error, but apologize?

Well done.

[OldnCrinkly]

Thank you, Miller. I appreciate your straightening this out.

@Giraffe

That said, he should be fired and then banned.

That’s too good for him. I propose we punish him by making him moderate The Pit.

[Loach]

Now what about this accusation of straightness?

Not bad. For a straight guy.

Yeah, it doesn’t taste great and it’s not less filling!

Oh, so now you go an erase all evidence to the crime. How convenient. Next thing you know, poof!, this thread will mysteriously disappear. Don’t think we’re not on to you, Miller.

Vinyl Turnip’s <spit take> is the hardest I’ve laughed at anything on the internet in a long, long time. You’ve outdone yourself this time (and you know I’m already one of your biggest fans).

[Chefguy]

I for one remain outraged. I haven’t read the thread in question, nor the links provided, and in fact skimmed this thread with a minimum of attention to detail. But I feel that should be outraged, and that’s good enough for me. :dubious: :mad:

[Library_Boy]

UMBRAGE!

Straight umbrage, I tell you.

@Library_Boy

UMBRAGE!

Straight umbrage, I tell you.

Whose turn is it to take umbrage for a walk?

[What_the]

Lemme guess…Miller’s from Miami and recently got fired by NBC for his editing “mistakes”?

WTF… a mod can edit anything he wants to in order to make himself look better? Do you need to get Super-Mod approval?

I’m pretty sure magellan01 was kidding, but Miller did the right thing in correcting his error in that thread. We have rules against altering text inside quote boxes, and it wouldn’t have been right for a moderator to do make that kind of alteration (even by accident) and leave it alone. There were posts about the misquote in the thread and Miller acknowledged his error and apologized for it in the thread.

Yes. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

MUA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
