> [@SlackerInc](#): > > A couple of links about sex work and “trafficking”: > > [We Need to Stop Confusing Sex Work with Human Trafficking | by Nuance Media | Nuance | Medium](https://medium.com/shareyournuance/we-need-to-stop-confusing-sex-work-with-human-trafficking-6ba7897fd3cd) > > [https://www.nswp.org/resource/sex-work-not-trafficking](https://www.nswp.org/resource/sex-work-not-trafficking) Yes, “sex work” and “human trafficking” are different phrases that refer to different things. That’s not news to me, though. “Military work” and “clandestine operation” are also different phrases that refer to different things. While I’ll grant that, on the occasion, phrases can and do get confused and it can be useful to make sure that everyone is on the same page, this is not that sort of situation. Presuming that you were posting in response to me (which I’m not sure of), you should go back and address the exact and specific arguments that were given if you want to debate the topic. ---

I do hope Sammy comes back because when he posts here, all the rest of us need to do is get some popcorn and watch. He is his own worst enemy. ---

> [@Slash1972](#): > > Please tell me the link in post #1178 was not a dick pic. You’re safe. It’s not a dick pick. He’s not that smart. It’s him getting his “last word” after his self-avowed “last post.” I still don’t think those are a picture of his cats–especially not after the metadata I pulled off of it. If he wants to prove those are his cats, he’s gonna need to take a picture of them with this supposed 7" dick. Tripler Just floating a line in the water. . . ---

I used to be annoyed by posters referencing old things every time another poster said something, like "Just to remind people, he thinks it okay to use the “n word” But now, “Aren’t you the guy that supports human trafficking?” seems appropriate to post in any forum where it’s allowed. ---

Or equates a throwaway insult about the size of someone’s dick to wanting to assault blacks. Does anyone here even CARE how big his dick is? I mean, his obsession is kind of disturbing. ---

The thing that all you guys don’t quite get is that if your under-endowed, genital-wart-laden manmeat becomes a mobility hindrance when you’re suspended by cables while power-drilling into the side of Everest to establish a foundation for tram supports (while being mindful, of course, of asteroids) then it would stand to reason that medicinally self-replicating nanotechnology should help you cope with such a genital hindrance. ---

His last activity was 7:59PM (local MDT); I have to wonder if he ever did figure out the “Ignore” function from way-back-when, or if he’s just simmering in his own misery and not replying. **JohnT** , you hold the current record for “Ignores”, dontcha?
