Yes, I was thinking what an unlucky lady his wife must be.

I thought this was pretty much in line with Little Pig’s usual postings. Isn’t it about time the mods had a chat about his posting privileges?

ETA Yes, **dropzone** , I hope you have a date whenever the time seems right to YOU, and I hope that will be soon.

He was suspended last year, and hasn’t been on my radar again until now. In a huge way. That was bad.

Wow, that is horribly jerkish, entirely undeserved and seriously out of line.

Dropzone, I am so sorry that you had to read that shit on this board. You deserve better.

That assholery just came out of left field for me. At first, I thought I must have been getting whooshed, but subsequent replies confirmed I was not misreading it. On a board where pretty dickish things have been said, I really can’t remember reading anything more vile. I’m assume some element of drunk posting, but even with that, to carry such hate in your heart. Jesus.

Now that I have a bit more time to spend on it, I felt compelled to go into more detail

Right… because calling a grieving widower “turd” is such a great opening line… Right away we know we’re dealing with a shitastic asshat.

1. I don’t for a second believe you “never looked at another woman twice”. I do believe you kept your dick stashed in your pants, because that’s something most men can do, but assuming you’re human, straight, and still have functioning testicles you’re going to have thoughts about women other than your wife.
2. She can be the woman of your dreams but if she’s no longer around absolutely no one outside of self-righteous dickheads expect you to cut yourself off from all human society and live without affection and/or sex.
3. You can hold her face in your heart for eternity AND spend time with someone else. Starting a new relationship doesn’t magically mind-wipe your memories, it doesn’t re-write history, and it doesn’t lessen either relationship. Unless you’re so fucking insecure you feel jealously for a relationship that doesn’t even exist yet.

> Trying to shag a 45 old skirt at 63? So much for enlightening/spiritual relationships which encompassed the past.

Errr… I’m sorry, what does pursuing a (potentially) romantic relationship in the present have to do with past relationships? And **dropzone** was discussing his marriage, not spiritual retreats, communing with God(s), or enlightenment. Marriage is about two people in the real world, not some airy-fairy spiritual fantasy. I mean, if it incorporates some of that, great, but it’s not essential anymore than honeymooning in Paris is essential to a marriage. Nice if you can get it (and want it) but not essential.

Marriage: **Little Pig,** you’re doing it wrong.

And if he follows your “advice” he’ll still end up that way, but at least if he doesn’t follow your advice he’ll have some fun along the way. And, oh yeah, maybe he’ll go first so he won’t, in fact, be alone.

Congratulations, you just accused half the human race of being whores. You don’t deserve to have sex ever again, with man, woman, or goat. Maybe we’ll let you fuck keyholes - if you promise to apologize to them afterward for inflicting yourself on them.

**Dropzone** is not talking about a gold digger, he’s talking about an employed woman who is able to support herself, that is, she doesn’t _need_ a man, she _wants_ a man. Maybe you, **Little Pig** , have only had success with women you can hold hostage to your paycheck, which says a lot about you, and none of it nice.

Stop hanging out in [del]syphilis transfer centers[/del] skeevy bars, you _might_ meet some actual human beings.

I think the plan here is to recontact the rest of humanity and have some company, rather than stewing alone in grief. But I don’t expect someone who thinks all women are whores and only keeps one due to economic dependence to understand that.

At the Half + 8 Rule, Dropzone should be open to any woman age 39 and older. 45 is well within that range.

You’re not alone in reporting him. I’m sure there were many. Hell, yeah, he richly deserved that warning. I hope the mods do discuss his posting privileges since he’s had a suspension before.

I wasn’t insulted for myself and expect no apology, but that was a pretty shitty thing to say about a woman. I wouldn’t be surprised if his wife is waiting for the day he fulfills his side of the til death contract.

I thought it was Half + Seven. Anyway, it’s better than my friend from AA who looked like Karen Gillan’s prettier twin. She’d be 32 now. We were doing our usual hugging greeting when I whispered in her ear, “I wish I was twenty years younger.”

“So do I.”

Erk! So, no, I’m no saint. I’ve had crushes and near affairs for a long time, but I kept my side of the contract. And I feel a bit liberated, while feeling shitty because I do.

Advice I offer to everyone – its your actions, not your thoughts, that determine what kind of person you are. If you do the right thing despite having temptations towards doing the wrong thing, or despite feelings that you’re not a good person, you are in fact acting as a good person. And acting as a good person does makes you a good person.

IMHO, anyway.

Please don’t feel shitty about any of it.

Yes, half + 7. Just be sure she wasn’t agreeing with you that she also wished she were 20 years younger. 😉
