It must be just me, be “dialog” as a verb sounds very wrong. ---

Hey, Elvis1 or whatever the hell cheap copycat name you’re using. Are you so juvenile and stupid that the only reason you can think for putting people on ignore is “middle school”? Because I’ve heard plenty of people who think that it is weakness to block people and that those people “win” when you do it and to a one, they’re all jackasses who are the very people who think they’ve won when people walk away from an argument with them, not understanding that they’ve actually lost. Fact is [we’re showing you the door](https://xkcd.com/1357/). Good luck going forward in your life. Hope you enjoy sitting home alone feeling proud of your assholishness and all the Trumpian “winning”. ---

Got to keep the tentacles in shape. Can’t get flabby. Yeah, at the gym and then eating a big bowl of ice cream. Now I got to cook food for tomorrow. Real life is serious business. Measuring food. Lifting weights. Playing on the Xbox. I can’t spend 24/7 here. And please, Chimera, play octo-Bingo with us. I think MrDibble and BigT are tied. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > Rapidly closing in on 200 posts in the Octopus thread (which I will never open) Don’t. There is nothing of value in it - not even decent insults. It’s a pathetic verbal slapfight of a thread. But, as you say, it’s taking a lot of it out of other threads. ---

Gosh, apparently when some guy says a beautiful woman working for his company makes him uncomfortable and he wishes that she wasn’t beautiful, then follows up with wishing she got a job as a model and left, he gets really defensive when it is pointed out to him that she doesn’t need to change anything, he does. [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=856319](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=856319) The horrors. We’re being so mean that he has to claim we’re using words we’re not using to describe him and continue to whine about how HE is the victim here. :smack: ---

It’s funny how you say in that thread: > [@When a beautiful woman starts at work... what have you seen?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/when-a-beautiful-woman-starts-at-work-what-have-you-seen/815624/98): > > No one said he was a bad person or that he should become apathetic. We’re not picking on him. I merely pointed out that the problem exists in his head, not in her person, and that’s where it needs to be addressed. > > Per your rain example; “Well, it isn’t going to stop raining, so what are YOU going to do about it?” > > I could suggest moving to a desert where it doesn’t rain much. In this case that would be a very poor suggestion. “Just don’t work with women” :rolleyes: But then you run right to this thread to call him a bad person and pick on him. Wait, not funny…sad. Sad is the word I’m looking for. ---
