> [@Novelty\_Bobble](#): > > if anyone wants a data point from a completely neutral and uninterested party, the phrase “putting your hands on a woman” means, to me at least, using your hands to touch a woman in some way. There is a negative connotation (otherwise you’d just say “touch”) but it doesn’t mean hit (otherwise you’d use the word “hit”) It is interesting to hear a UK perspective. ---

**Shodan** is clearly just pleasuring himself when he posts on the Dope. And by “pleasuring himself,” I mean trolling. Why, does the phrase have some other meaning? ---

And if he is getting any enjoyment from reading this thread he is technically literally… Pleasuring himself while reading a thread about the time he put his hands on a child. ---

Why do I get this mental picture of Shodan in a holding cell with some Latin Kings trying to explain what he REALLY meant when he said he was looking forward to laying hands on the first wetback that looked at him funny? It’s almost like he seems to be trolling or something. ---

There is a negative connotation (otherwise you’d just say “touch”) but it doesn’t mean hit (otherwise you’d use the word “hit”) This is my take. “Don’t put your hands on me!” I would not have assumed to put hands on someone means hitting them. It would be context dependent, but if somebody to me says “he put his hands on her” it means he touched her, possibly/probably unwelcomed, but not that he hit her. But I don’t know the context of the OP or the Trump statement or whatever the OP is about. ---

It’s either trolling or he’s incredibly stupid. The former seems a lot more likely to me – he’s playing silly games to try and piss people off. ---

Shodan is also one of the whiny little snowflakes who keeps whinging about “liberal bias” on the Dope, but he seems to get a pass for pretty much everything. doorhinge received a warning in that thread, and Shodan is doing EXACTLY the same thing without even a mod note. ---

The discussion is about whether this… “We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern…” - Sarah Sanders … is an accurate description of [this](https://twitter.com/aravosis/status/1060316929112657920). **Shodan** thinks it is accurate, and also apparently thinks there’s nothing wrong with the title of this thread. So at least he’s consistent. ---

> [@XT](#): > > Hard to say. Would I use that terminology? Probably not. I’d probably say altercation or assault depending on why and how they were trying to take something from me. But if someone grabbed my arm or my shirt or something like that I might, if I was feeling a bit archaic, say they laid hands on me. Or if they were a Baptist preacher trying to heal me I suppose… I think you misunderstand. It’s not about whether they laid hands on you, but about whether you laid hands on them. To clarify: Sarah sees you waving at a friend with your left hand while you hold a sandwich in your right hand. Sarah is hungry. She reaches across your body to try to grab the sandwich. Surprised, you stop waving, and lower your left hand and bring it close to your body. In the process, your wrist, or maybe the base of your hand, lightly brushes the elbow of Sarah’s arm, the arm she’s trying to grab your sandwich with. The question isn’t, did Sarah lay hands on you? The question is, did you lay hands on Sarah? Shodan claims you did, because he’s a dumbass troll. ---

It is obvious trolling. No remotely reasonable person could be taking Shodan’s position. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk ---

It’s all moot. CNN won the lawsuit and Acosta is getting his hardpass back. So the fake video and Sarah Sanders, Trump, and Shodan can all go suck eggs. ---

So, **Shodan** , here’s your chance to explain the term “suck eggs”. Would a person actually pick up an egg and suck on it? 😕 ---

**Shodan** , you’re a fucking liar and what little respect I had for you is now gone. I’m sure you’re sobbing about that ( **RitterSport** who?). I have never agreed with your politics and I always hated the way you puked out a bunch of links that may or may not be relevant cites, but I didn’t see you as a trolling asshole. I cannot believe you’re pulling the same bullshit that **doorhinge** is. That’s pretty bad and maybe you should revisit your posting style, view of reality, slavish commitment to this ridiculous administration or something. If someone told me that I’m following in **doorhinge** ’s footsteps, I would certainly reevaluate something. Maybe you can open your Trump-clouded eyes and realize that, in fact, the sky is blue, Acosta didn’t “put his hands” on that intern, and the Trump administration regularly lies about obvious facts. Until you do something about your current twisted view of objective reality, I guess I’ll just skip over anything you post. ---

Just to add to the pile on, if anyone wasn’t aware, **Shodan** thinks it’s appropriate to consider some black people as n\*\*\*\*\*s: > [@Living while black in America](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/living-while-black-in-america/817611/773): > > Uggh.
