I’d just like to hijack my own thread to say all the stuff I wanted to say in **Great Debates** but wasn’t allowed to: FUCK FUCK YOU FUCKING GODDAMN SANCTIMONIOUS HYPOCRITICAL FUCKING SHITSTAIN FUCKERS! Sorry for the interruption. ---

> [@SolGrundy](#): > > You didn’t say anything derogatory against gays in this thread, because you haven’t say _anything_ in this thread. You just came in, made a snipe at me, and **completely ignored everything else I said**. Well, it wasn’t supposed to be a snipe. More snarky than anything. As far as I know I’ve never said anything derogatory (sp?) against gays. I was merely pointing out the confusion I had of deriding anyone calling gays whiny, while you were appearing to whine about it. I was giving you the needle and it turned into a trainwreck. Sorry if it sounded like I was taking a shot at you. Now come here and give me a hug. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > **roger thornhill is bodswood?** [**bodswood**?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=262059) Hmm, they _are_ both from Hong Kong, and his last activity _was_ August 2004, when **roger** arrived. Coincidence, **roger**? Or do you still believe that humans, dinosaurs and trilobytes coexisted? ---

Ah. Well, in his defence, he appears a little more reasonable and less dogmatic these days (although clearly he has niggled **Sol** somewhat). **bodswood** agreed that the fossil record showed humans and all other modern birds and mammals only in the top few strata, representing only the most recent few million years. And yet he could not bring himself to believe that the reason we don’t find them in lower strata is because they _weren’t there then_. I’d be interested in hearing whether **roger** still thinks that modern mammals somehow _stopped_ their remains fossilising for all those billions of years. ---

As available in the first thread I linked to: > [@roger thornhill](#): > > The name change was necessitated by the fact that the SDMB didn’t like my credit card when I tried to subscribe by my original name. No, not George Kaplan - bodswood. I emailed admin - who hadn’t run across this kind of problem before - and decided to try again under another name and email address. Bingo! ---

You and **Lib** have been around here for a long long time. The fact that you have misinterpreted the remarks of one of the highest profile and most prolific members on this board leads me to wonder if anyone really pays attention to what anyone posts. I can’t believe you meant what you said. ---
