Ryle Dup rightfully bows out: I’m not going to bother with your attempts at refuting my previous arguements, because they still stand. SDL: You have no arguments, Dup. I never accused you of being a sock puppet, I explained what Mr.B meant when he said something you did not understand. SDL: I completely understood where Mr. B was coming from, you simply chose to carry the flag. I’ll retract my statement that you’re a loon simply because the other posters can and will argue with you, and I have no wishes to be bothered by you. SDL: Nor, I, you. Good day. SDL: Yes, it truly is. ---

> [@](#): > > SPOOFE, someone argued elsewhere that it seemed “fair comment” (I paraphrase) to hold the The LDS Church itself responsible for its avowed intolerance of homosexuality, why bring both points up again as unfair “generalisations”? Because Ambushed claimed that he DIDN’T make those generalizations, and said nothing on whether or not those generalizations are justified. ---

Mr. B scribbles: Oh, and a little housekeeping, bracketing added: ## quote: by Sheerdee Light I completely understood where Mr. B was coming from, you simply chose to carry the flag. ## As a matter of fact, [yosemite]babe, I didn’t know what Mr. B was referring to thus, the question mark at the end of the sentence. Little squiggly thing, look for it. Sheerdee Light, you are a liar. No, Mr. B, I simply lost track of the handles represented on this train wreck of a thread. The exchanges took place as follows: Mr. B: Boy, ambushed just doesn’t give up… SDL: Mr. B posits: Boy, ambushed just doesn’t give up… Mr. B, tell us, just exactly what was it that aroused you from your coma? There are no replies here from ambushed since last eve. To what are you referring? Yosemitebabe: Sheerdee Light, you are all innocence as to what Mr. B is talking about? Completely unaware of what he might be implying? A little hard to swallow. SDL: As a matter of fact, babe, I didn’t know what Mr. B was referring to thus, the question mark at the end of the sentence. Little squiggly thing, look for it. Ryle Dup: Certain people(s) are suspiscious of you being a sock puppet. If this phrase is out of your vocabulary, it means that they believe that you are in fact, ambushed. Evidence to support this being -Loony posting style -Constant accusations / name calling -Ignorance -The fact that you just registered now, and your first post is in the same thread. I never accused you of being a sock puppet, I explained what Mr.B meant when he said something you did not understand. (Stop right there, Mr. B. Just exactly where did Ryle Dup explain what you meant when you ‘said something I didn’t understand?’ The answer is never.) SDL: I completely understood where Mr. B was coming from, you simply chose to carry the flag. (Stop again, Mr. B. there I referred to Ryle Dup’s explanation of the term “sock puppet” (the only explanation delivered) and attributed it to you, in error. I apologize for the handle transferrence however, the lame slander on this thread i.e, “sock puppet”, has yet to be addressed via moderator report. I may indeed, have lost track of which poster made the comment about “sock puppet”, but I’m no liar. Chalk it up to gang activity.) Do you find my posts unintelligible? You have to actually read them, B. I see you had no trouble extracting a portion of my comments. I’ll be glad to learn how to use the quote feature, until then, you’ll have to either put up with it or look the other way. Sheerdee Light ---

Number one: I don’t think Sherdee’s a sock puppet. I’m sure it’s just another damn fool. Number two: Quite interesting of you, Sherdee, to put up there that I said abuse never occurred. Here’s some entertainment for you: prove I said that. Number three: I did argue the posts, not the poster, in the appropriate forum. Your comrade-in-asininity screwed up and did the reverse in the wrong forum. ---

> [@](#): > > Do you find my posts unintelligible? You have to actually read them, B. If you had been lurking for as long as you claim, you’d know how to use the Quote tags. See [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/misc.php?action=bbcode) in order to use VB codes. See, your posts are “unintelligible” because your lack of post tags makes it very difficult to keep track of whom you are quoting, and what you, yourself, said. In other words, to read one of your posts, one must constantly be scrolling up and down, checking what the original poster wrote to differentiate it from your own words. Of course, if you were here truly for the interests of Fighting Ignorance, you wouldn’t be feigning innocence in that regard. ---

SPOOFE, You wrote: If you had been lurking for as long as you claim, you’d know how to use the Quote tags. See here in order to use VB codes. Yes, lurking here not posting.

Monty, once again misevaluates what he “reads”: “Quite interesting of you, Sherdee, to put up there that I said abuse never occurred. Here’s some entertainment for you: prove I said that.” Monty, I didn’t quote you I characterized you. Before you make another false assertion like that, look for quotation marks, dear.

_ **She Li** _ (my little nickname for SDL, since she or he seems fit to give me one) seems to be afflicted with the same ailment as ambushed: the inability to format or use the quote function properly. And really. It’s not that hard to learn to do it right. (No, no implication of socks here. Just thought that was amusing.) ---

_ **She Li** _, don’t care what your “secret identity” is. Don’t know what it is. Don’t much care at all. You, however, are apparently far too lame to figure out how to format your posts. I find that somewhat amusing, that’s all. ---

> [@](#): > > Yes, lurking here not posting. How do you figure would I know how to use the Quote tags without having posted until a few days ago? “Lurking” entails “reading the message board”. Forgive my doubt, but considering that quoting is used in almost every substantial thread here, you’d become curious about how people do that gosh-darn nifty quote-thing. It just helps keep things clear and easy to read. You DO want your posts to be informative, don’t you? ---
