Oh, come on people! I did the detective work all by myself through posts on the boards (you chatters had it handed to you on a plate, from what I hear). Even got the Junior Detective Badge to show for it.
Here’s a hint-start with Satan’s “I’m a stupid moron” thread (which probably ought to be renamed to “I’m a lucky bastard”). See who’s the most vocal in comforting Ol’ Scrotch, and work from there.
Nothing like a bad decision
Says who you are.

And HEY! We chat people didn’t get it handed to us on a silver platter! I figured it out before then! HAH! Although…we do have fun gossiping in there. (Insert plug for chat here…)

Which is precisely why, when the breakup between Satan and Drain Bead occurs, things could get mighty interesting 'round here. Anyway, my prediction is the best BBQ Pit Topic of the year 2000 will be “Satan vs. Drain Bead: The Way We Were”.
Oh, and one other comment for white…nice to out them, as it were. You’ll notice the rest of us were being nice and letting the parties INVOLVED decide when to tell. Classy. rolling eyes

Exactly, you inconsiderate son of a bitch. I think it’s readily apparent that although plenty of people know about this, we wanted it out on our own time and terms. You took that away from us, simply in your hurry to look like a master detective. Well, duh. You’ve done nothing but make yourself look like a slimy gossip-monger, and one who revels in the misfortune of others as well.
From now on, now that we’ve been outed, I suppose we should share the ground rules that we’ve already discussed. If you want to know any details about our relationship, feel free to ask us personally. If we both feel that you have any right to know, we’ll tell you. If not, you’re up the fucking creek, folks. We’ve both learned our lessons about having this MB know too much about our personal lives. So all I ask is that you keep it off the MB. This isn’t what it’s about, anyway.
Thanks again, asshole, for taking my personal life and making it everyone’s business without my knowledge or consent. I hope you feel wonderful realizing that everyone’s estimation of you has dropped exponentially.
Now I feel like a real shit head for bringing this back up to the top and offering people to opportunity to break the secret. I am sorry, and that goes to both of you. For the record, my inkling was correct, but I wasn’t going to shout out my answer to the world.
I do apologize for intruding on your privacy, but I wish both of you the best of love together, and so much happiness that it makes the rest of us sick.
Geez, is it really such a big deal? No need to get all up in arms, this is a message board, fer cryin’ out loud - it’s fun, no life or death here, let’s all lighten up a bit. (Really, the only time people get so testy is when they feel the grain of truth. Otherwise, mostly they laugh.)
Yeah, but the rules of being polite still apply on a massage board. Ya don’t reveal someone ELSE’s private business to the world at large. At least not without talking to them first. As I said…look at the way those of us who already KNEW acted. And some of us have known for a while.

My point is - good for them, truly, but who really cares? And anyway, if you want to keep your private life off the message board, keep it out, it’s quite easy to do. And if you don’t want to keep it out, drop the little hints if you must, but don’t go ballistic if someone picks up on them. Sheesh.
Did you miss my point?? A lot of us picked up on the hints. Did we share our conclusions? NO! Because it was NOT OUR LIFE! And NOT OUR PLACE to share what was going on without taling to the parties involved! Good lord! What the fuck is so hard to understand about that!

Good lord, I did not mean to wind you up so tightly, I did, in fact get your point. MY point, which YOU cannot grasp, Sir Falcon, is that Satan put his life on the board, no one else. My other point is why get so uptight about people guessing you are dating someone? It is no reason to cuss people out. It’s nice, and no one would have even ventured a guess if you didn’t post the preliminary info. And that is all I have to say, as I am not really one for arguing.
