**techchick68** , if you are satisfied with this portion of Dex’s post:

, can I suggest that you ask for this thread to be closed? Whatever other rumblings from the interior 😉 there may be, it seems to me that this answers the OP. Let’s **not** see how this plays itself out.

Either that or he comes back with an apology to Opal for his condescending tone and his “whatever I say is right so fucking deal” attitude. I have no problem with _him_ per se, just his attitude in this and his reactions to the thread that started this whole business. If he likes her or not, I don’t care, it’s the reaction of him that ticks me off now.

Techchick, I’ve had about enough of this. Get a grip. CajunMan was not being condescending. He read one bodily function thread too many and closed it. When asked why he said he found it in bad taste. There is nothing more that needs to be said. But people continue to demand further explanations and complain about “inconsistancies” and so on.

Please understand: this is our board. We reserve the right to close threads for any or no reason. For the most part we allow users extraordinary latitude but there are times when we just get fed up. If you think we are being unreasonable you are free to go somewhere else. I do not want to hear any more whining. Please consider this a warning before the warning.

Fine, but there is no need to be surly when you’re explaining yourself. The surest way to get bounced out of here is to give the mods a hard time. As a board operator yourself you know how exasperating this job can be. Please don’t make it any more so.

I’m sorry if I was surly… it just seemed that he was being dismissive and it got to me. (Am I still allowed to keep pointing to my copious collection of post-surgical prescription bottles and shrug as an excuse for everything?)

Heh. All things in moderation, no pun intended. Hope you’re feeling better.

What good girl you are Opal,…

I think those of us who have children and have had to go through potty training them, arent nearly as grossed out by this stuff.
