Yep, I got a PM that says “fuck off” is okay. “Fuck off and die” isn’t. And “go fuck yourself” isn’t. So if I’d used an intensive pronoun rather than a preposition at the end of my post (in that other thread), I wouldn’t have been dinged. Apparently, the word is okay to say. As long as you don’t use pronouns. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > Fuck off, EP. Quit trying to put words in my mouth, especially when you are so wrong that you’re not even in the same zip code as correct. I am enjoying your bitter, bitter tears of frustration, caused by you learning that YET ANOTHER of your hopeful scribblings has turned to complete and utter garbage. You’re nothing more than a sad little boy, saying “nuh-uh” over and over again when his hand is stuck in the cookie jar. ---

Minor keys aren’t necessarily scary, sometimes they are simply annoying, So, fuck off, fake Orff! I think you might be a bit confused – [“Ave Satani”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ave_Satani) (theme song from (_The Omen)_ != Orff’s [“Carmina Burana”](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Burana_(Orff)).

I’ll bet most aspiring models don’t receive anywhere near $100K for their first assignment. 🙂 But yes, the politician is a dick. Whatever you think of big-game hunting, the fact is that quite a few wealthy Americans do it (a large percentage of Africa’s big-game kills are shipped back to the United States), and this young woman has only attracted such attention precisely because she is young and is a woman. ---

Yeah, there are lots of appropriate ways to deal with people who do stuff you disapprove of. Trying to shame/discredit/harass them with naked pictures is _not one of them_. And, as you say, the only reason he’s trying it is because the person he disagrees with is a young woman. Dude, Democrats are supposed to be the ones who _don’t_ say horribly sexist stuff. Hey, _Dick_inson, you’re making us look bad. Stop it. ---
