On the plus side, if I’m driving the BWP and I hear “ya daft cunt”, I’ll know who said it… 
Dantheman, are you just being intentionally obtuse? In my first post, I said The Mermaid needed to get laid. Then in YOUR first post, you said I needed to get laid. If I’m gonna keep writing your material for you, I want some kind of consulting fee.* You went on to call me a “little shit”, then later chastised me for using profanity. What planet do you live on where the word “shit” is not profanity?
In your case, minus the wit. Unless you consider imitating me to be witty.
No, Dantheman - I’m sobbing into my pillow every night because of the way you hurt me. For the sarcasm impaired, I’m not really doing that.
Get over yourself.
- I don’t REALLY want a consulting fee - I’m being sarcastic; something which a lot of people seem to be having trouble with
Here in the UK “cunt” is a non gender-specific insult.
Just thought I’d share.
I’m not sure what’s more sad. That blowero thinks he’s witty, or that he doesn’t know when to walk away. I think you’re the only one who cares about this anymore, blow.
Seems to me as if you just like to argue and fight. After all, you have ignored everything I said except for the bit in which you were able to take as a personal insult, then you felt the need to retaliate.
Just calm down already, would ya? I ask again, is it really worth all this anger and bile-spitting at people here? You got your apology from mermaid, what’s the point of the rest of your tantrum here?
No, I would say the definition of someone who “just likes to argue and fight” would be a person who butts in on a thread that doesn’t involve him in the slightest, just to criticize someone for not living up to your personal standard of “wit” (ironically, in a way that was even less witty than that which you were criticizing). So you’re gonna pout because I ignored some of the stuff you wrote? I’m not going to waste time typing “I agree” after everything I agree with. I’m sure if I had responded to all of it, you would have bitched at me for that. You’re an asshole, but please don’t take that as a personal insult.
By the way, I’m really getting a kick out of a few of you who keep bragging about how you are so over everything, yet continue to respond to every post. Thanks for keeping me entertained.
And I assume since I am, according to you, the only one who still cares about this, that you and Dantheman will now stop posting in this thread. Yeah, that’ll happen. :rolleyes:
You open up a Pit thread to whine and then you’re shocked - shocked! - when people respond to it?
:rolleyes:

First, if you wanted to keep this private, maybe you shouldn’t have opened a public thread avaiable for all to see and voice their opinions?
Second, as anyone can see, my original post wasn’t just to criticize you, or did you miss that bit? I had things to say to both you and mermaid and I tried to present both sides of the incident.
Please explain why that’s not a personal insult and what exactly I did to get you to resorting to name-calling so quickly? The worst I did was needle you a bit about your flames, but I never called you a name, attacked your character, or flamed you outright. You really seem like you’d rather fight than be rational.
If this was directed at me, I just meant that you’re the only one who cares about the original point of this thread. I never said I wouldn’t respond to people who address me directly.
So please, in all honesty, why are you so pissed off at me and dantheman, who was orginally just having a little joke, which you just had to comment on and turn into another little fight. Hell, I’ve yet to spill any vitriol your way and you feel the need to call me an asshole and treat me like I’m trying to kick the shit out of you.
I’m just asking a simple question: Why can’t you let any of this go?

Good heavens! Look at this place! If we don’t get organized, it will get even worse. Let’s see…
Okay, the apologies are fine, we’ll put them right here on the bed, so everyone won’t forget them. Now, the really bad BAD dirty words, chuck 'em right on in the big black garbage bag. Toss the tantrums too, nobody needs THOSE around. The only sorta bad dirty words can go in the top drawer, never know when you might need those.
Immature, resentful remarks–shelve them. You’ve been playing with them all day, forgodsake, find something ELSE to do for a while. Name calling of innocent bystanders? I think not…there are plenty of perfectly good issues in the world that you can spend your time fussing about. This nasty, smelly bone of contention you’ve been gnawing for, what, two days now? Out with it! Go on, toss it right away, you’ll be glad when everything looks all peaceful again.
What else…oh! How about dusting off that nice sense of humor, and maybe shining up that maturity? I know, I know, maybe it’s not the cool thing right now, but trust me, you’ll never regret it once you get used to it.
There, it’s looking nicer in here already! Maybe by tomorrow, things will really have come together!

Sorry, my kids are gone for two weeks and I just can’t help tidying…

hey there bodypoet–as long as you’re up and about I could really use something to drink. Oh, and I’ve got these couple loads of laundry I haven’t been able to get to… Think you’ll have time? Thanks, you’re a peach. There’s cookies in the cupboard, right?
Hey, you’re not watching this are you? Where’s the remote?
bella–doing her part to relieve the mom-withdrawls
Oh, and blowero–you’re being a huge asshole here and have lost what little validity your complaint originally had.
By the way, posting just so you can see how much of a rise you can get out of people is usually considered dangerously close to trolling around here.
i’d like to thank sublight for allowing me to finally find out the male equivalent of misogynist. i’ve wondered for so long.
my number one guess was homogenist, but that sounded more like someone who boiled milk.
Well I, for one, am glad that I could finally be of some use around here.
I was being sarcastic again. Sorry, I guess I need to identify the sarcasm EVERY time. You see, you posted a personal insult to me, and then inexplicably claimed that it was NOT a personal insult, so I was making fun of you. Get it?
If you want to flame me, go right ahead, but for Pete’s sake don’t get all indignant when you get flamed back.:rolleyes:
Has anyone else noticed how when blowero tries to use sarcasm and irony, he gets all frumphry when others don’t pick up on it, but when dantheman used it, blowero didn’t pick up on it in the slightest?[sup]*[/sup]
b, I agree with belladonna. You’re getting awefully close to trolling, having far surpassed both the definition of “asshole” and of “jerk.” My recommendation (all 2 cents of it), is that you take a little break, go take a walk, go out and get laid, whatever.
[sup]*[/sup] It’s called “physician, heed thy medicine,” if you were curious there, blowero
Huh? Please show me where I said I was “shocked” anywhere in this thread. I’m sorry, was I supposed to just go away and let everyone take pot shots at me without responding? So far, I have been called a little shit, dickhead, mysoginist, told that my wit is Junior High level, etc. I didn’t flame anyone who didn’t flame me first. And NOBODY has said that my original point was without merit. But that’s fine, because my o.p. was certainly rant-style, and I haven’t pulled any punches myself. But c’mon - if you’re going to jump into a flame war, don’t cry when you get burned.
So let’s all get a grip, huh?
And meltdown in 3… 2… 1…

Mommy, make the nasty thread go away…

This has to be most biggest stupidest dumb-assiest thing said today.
What part of having a personal opinion on a relatively hot-button word is stupid, Hinten? Because I think this:
Is probably the biggest stupidest dumb-assiest thing said this month. But being a lady, I would never say so to your face.

Oh, I get it now, you think I mercilessly flamed you with that stupid comment earlier. You read that one bit and decided I was an enemy to be smited. That comment was not a flame, blowero. True, it was a criticism directed at you and your posts, but not really a flame IMO since it wasn’t posted with anger or the intent to hurt you. You chose to ignore the point of my original post here in order to defend your poor, wounded honor by resorting to the childish level of name-calling.
You got your apology from mermiad, what else do you want from this thread? You want the last word, is that all this is about now?
BTW, Esprix’s “shocked” post is referring to you telling me I was butting in on something that was none of my business when you’re the one who made this a public argument to begin with.
Before suggesting others get a grip, you may want to find a handle for yourself first.
