> [@Miller](#): > > Well, that’s just fucking retarded. In any other context, it’s entirely the opposite way around. Bush basher, gay basher, paki basher all describe people who hate the thing being bashed. Why should bible basher be any different? > > Screw common usage. I say that it means, “people who hate religion,” and I’m sticking to that. Who are you going to believe? Me, or the rest of the English speaking world? Screw it, I’m with you. No way is bible basher the same as bible thumper. I never even heard of bible basher, actually. I have decided that it must be a corruption. Somehow, enough people misunderstood what bible thumper means (to poke the bible forcefully with your finger or knuckle to make your biblical points) to start thinking they can use ‘basher’ the same as ‘thumper’. Enough people mess it up, and it will find its way into the respected and illustrious _Urban Dictionary_. ---

Windswept crags. Later, alligator. Just to be clear, because I am giving you shit in a couple of threads, do not take this personally. You’re a plenty fine poster, and you like Latin. **fisha-** Magister mundi sum! or Mei capilli sunt flagrantes! I can never keep those two straight. ---

**spingears** is like an elderly uncle you see once a year who talks too loud and thinks too much of himself. He probably thinks of himself as mildly funny but really just comes across as a condescending prick. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him make a useful contribution to a thread. ---

**Stinkpalm** nothing against the guy personally or even as a poster I don’t really remember anything he has ever posted but the only two times my wife has looked at the screen when I am surfing the Dope he was the last person to post. She thinks this is some kind of sex chatroom…she always says “Are you chatting with stinkypalm again?” ---

> [@Linty\_Fresh](#): > > “Any poster” is singular, by the way. You should write “his or her post” or simply “his post,” if you want to be old school about it. Or just use “singular they” unashamedly. As they did, before you commented upon it. ---

[QUOTE=Heffalump and Roo] Yeah, buddy. Sorry, but you have. . .been polite. . . as far as I’ve seen. I can’t remember even one maddening post. You need to try harder. 😉 On preview: I guess you got one. Congrats! [/QUOTE] I’m a big AA Milne fan, so I can’t even pretend to come up with something maddening. Well, I could, but it’d be deliberate trolling and that’s not a nice thing to do. Wait, I was once inexcusably rude to **Una Persson**! And also excusably rude to **Kalhoun**. I feel terrible about **Una** ---
