You guys sure put things in perspective!
I take comfort in the fact he is really shy, and probably adores me <snicker>, but is scared.
He isnt married, late 20’s lives with <ahem> his mom.
I think you are right, I dont see him passing on any genes in the near future. He isnt the type who gets laid alot 
Dan, when you coming to visit baby?
Is this the same Kellibelli who was leaving never to return to this board on some high moral principal or other?
Or is it someone who has taken up her name?
“…the nerdy accountant guy…”
“very cool cukeumber, very starchy and reserved…quite shy too.”
…“lives with <ahem> his mom.”
“My hovercraft is full of eels.”
Oh, be nice, elbows. It doesn’t cost anything.
Wasn’t trying to be wicked. I honestly thought when I saw some of these names reappear that it was a witty and clever ploy of the regulars. Guess I was reading too much into it, just wanted to understand.
I stand corrected, I was only confused.

Oh jeez, it was me who screwed up the horizontal. Apologies, all…

Long time Straight Dope MB lurker, full-time poster on snopes, just coming out of luker mode for a post and then I will slip back over to my own neighborhood.
Elbow:
It is true that KB did vow to leave this MB due to some high moral principle. She came to snopes for a week or two then threw a temper tantrum when we didn’t change our mode of operation to her liking, picked up her toys and came stomping back here. So much for high moral principles.
snopes is a different community than the SD. Us regs have created our own decor over time. We welcome all newbies, but please don’t show up and try to change the place and stomp your feet and pout when we don’t.
This will probably be my one and only post here as snopes takes up all of my online time. I just wanted to clarify the KB situation and invite you to our neck of the woods.
sigh I would hardly qualify leaving snopes after maybe a dozen posts as a ‘tantrum’.
It was made CRYSTAL CLEAR by the regs over there that new people are NOT welcome, so I split, I didnt say anything about it, just cleared off any potentially inflamatory posts and stopped posting there. What is the problem with that? Its a fucking message board, I didnt take marital vows!
I would think that instead of following me over here to whine because I left you would happily celebrate my departure.
You cant honestly say you wanted me to stay.
I dont get it. They dont want new people, but if the new people leave, they are annoyed.
You say:
We call people who post once to insult other posters TROLLS.
followed by:
Anyone ask you to clarify anything?
And how can you be a ‘long time lurker’ if Snopes takes up all your time?
You dont know me, or what went on here over the last few months, well enough to judge me or my actions. So run along back to Snopes and start YET ANOTHER thread about the BAD NEWBIES, or better yet, start one here.
Kellibelli,
“be nice, it doesn’t cost anything”

You are right elbows, but honestly, if you had read all the whining over there, you would be pretty perplexed too.
I will try to ignore further little digs from the snopers.
You want a pathetic “Let’s just be friends” story? The last time I asked someone out, she wandered away from the question four times to tell me her life’s story. It took me an hour to get her to say “No.” I don’t mind the friend thing all that much, but it was almost insulting the way she tried to shield me from rejection. If’n you’re not attracted to me, at least tell me so I can stop making a fool of myself.

I said I was only going to post once, I guess I underestimated.
We do welcome new people. PCW and StoryTyler are still there as well as others from your board. They aren’t trying to rearrange our furniture just as you don’t appreciate newbies changing yours.
The plain and simple fact Kellibelli, is that you came to our board, threw a temper tantrum when others tried to tell you how we do things over there, deleted your post and left stomping out the door. You looked like a spoiled brat.
You’re right in saying that we are glad you are gone. You are very wrong when you say that we don’t want new people. Other SDMB regs/snopes newbies have appologized for trying to turn snopes into SDMB Part 2 and are staying with us. We are glad they are here and they seem to like it here as well.
I think that most of you would agree that it is a little annoying to have a newbie come onto your board and try to change things around. Our community has been formed over a long period of time, we like it as it is.
Kellibelli, I do know what transpired here with the Melin thing and all, I lurk, remember? I will say it again, so much for high moral principle. You also seem to have an uncanny way of stomping out the virtual door in a huff quite often.
The guy likes guys, Kelli----has to be.

Okay, I give up. I am a BAD BAD BAD person. I plead guilty to all charges.
I hereby declare SNOPES is the friendliest nicest place on earth, they LOVE new people, so go visit.
You are absolutely right, I shouldnt go leaving a place because it doesnt suit me, I should just try harder to fit in.
Is this enough?
I have also posted at hissyfit, you might want to warn them next.
Oh, my! I was young and inexperienced and not particularly bright. I worked in a hospital where this really cute and friendly x-ray tech and I managed to bump frequently into each other. She was a pretty little thing, with a cheerful attitude and outgoing personality, which, since I was so painfully shy back then, made talking to her so much easier.
After several weeks of screwing up my courage, one day I managed to ask her out for a date, stammering and trying hard not to blush with embarrassment – and she carefully informed me that she was married!!! The subject had never come up and she had never mentioned her husband and, being in X-ray, naturally she did not wear her wedding ring!
I was soooo embarrassed and shot down! Afterwards, I made it a point not to bump into her very often.
Some mornings, it’s just not worth chewing through the leather straps.
