Okay dropzone, enough (mild)

Okay, I know you’ve been going through a rough time this year, and I’m really about that. At the same time, you’re really starting to skeeve me out. (Especially with your behavior towards women on this board)

Your comment to monstro here was the last straw.

Recently someone started a thread talking about how her friend was sexually abused as a teenager. You came in and shit all over that, doing the exact thing she was complaining about.

You were perving on a female Doper here.
Just…cut it out. All right? Thanks.

Looking at those threads, yeah, what Guin said. dropzone, I like ya, dude, but speaking as one guy to another, please dial it back.

Yeah, not cool. I hope this isn’t the bottle talking, for his sake.

FWIW, I didn’t take any offense at what dropzone said about my “fetish” (although I did have to google “Morris dancing”). But the “men are talking” thing was really weird.

dropzone has always been a odd duck, and it is hard for me to take what he says seriously. But I do hope he’s okay and not drinking too heavily.

Yeah, it wasn’t really the aside that bothered me, but the “Hush, woman” thing that preceded it. Also, your typo “I know you’re having a rough time, and I’m really about that” is hilarious. :smiley:

Well, of course it is, and I should take a vacation from it and the Dope. Tuba used to suspend me at my request. I should ask for another. :frowning:

DooWahDiddy :smack: Yeah, that should be “I’m really SORRY about that”.

I didn’t know what Morris Dancing was either. And it was the “hush woman” that did it for me too – it was basically the last straw, since I’ve been noticing how he’s been acting for awhile. If it’s a drinking problem, then he should probably take a break from here and check into getting help. Seriously, addiction is not a pretty thing to go through, or to witness.

I hope this just serves as a, “dude, chill out.” If you need help, please get it. Either way, your behavior lately isn’t cool.
ETA: more importantly than taking a break from the Dope – take care of yourself, and please, look into getting help for your addiction. Okay? (I’ve seen family go through this, and it’s very painful)

Good luck, and please get better soon! :wink:

IIRC, he’s done inpatient drying out b/c he’s an alcoholic; any is too many drinks for him now. Combine them w/ his grief and what seems to be a complete lack of filter and he’s just coming across so gross. I mentioned something to him in my post b/c I recall him asking for that when he went over the line what must be years ago now.
But I should know better than to reason w/ a drunk.

dropzone are you drinking again?

Duh. :frowning:

My free association brain had me thinking he was talking about Morris Day and the Time, girl.

Phooey.

I thought that he had secret knowledge that she was actually taking Morris dancing classes. :smack:

I don’t think this is okay.

The request for a voluntary suspension has been placed. I’ll be back when I think I can be around people again.

I don’t think it’s okay to say that child molestation is a “compliment” that should be accepted as such by the victim:

For those who haven’t read the thread, the “guy in the OP” was described like this:

dropzone’s behavior in that thread was disgusting. In addition to being sickening in and of itself, his stated belief that sexual abuse is flattering makes his frequently inappropriate behavior towards female Dopers all the more troubling.

I hope that includes doing something about your drinking?

Yes, it would have to. My drunk self is not my real self.

Good luck, dropzone.

Do mods close threads of Dopers that are suspended by request?

One day, kids will learn how to do the Bird in folk dancing class.
