What does it mean, “Cunt Wars”?
I believe this is a reference to the Late Unpleasantness that occurred when Ed started acting like he owned the place.
Ed fought in the Civil War? Which side?
I think this asks it best.
Hmm, I thought she left directly because of the No Cunts In The Pit Directives; I could be mis-remembering. I do recall that she said she was going to go over some bullshit, and go she did.
In the beginning, there was Cecil. He saw that there was Ignorance, and he called it Bad. Things got weird after that.
With all due respect, Cat, I’d suggest that you are misremembering the Book of Cecil:
-
In the beginning Cecil created the libraries and the Internet. 2. Now the Internet was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Cecil was hovering over the waters.
-
And Cecil said, “Let there be knowledge,” and there was knowledge. 4. Cecil saw that the knowledge was good, and he separated the knowledge from the ignorance. 5. Cecil called the knowledge “day,” and the ignorance he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first thread.
I could go on, Cat, but I think you know the Book of Cecil as well as I do.
Get Sam Stone talking about art and he is a joy to read. Hugely informed, passionate and eloquent.
I didn’t see where anyone had mentioned Bearflag70. The way he has dealt and continues to deal with Getty’s condition (I’m truly sorry if there’s a better way to refer to it) is inspiring.
Far too many to mention.
Ah, what the hell. I’m going to go nuts here and say PSXer, for all of his totally absurd threads that make me laugh and wonder if he’s for real or a very clever troll.
I’m very thankful to all the people who were so supportive during my thread about my brother’s illness and the one I posted earlier last year about his college acceptances. I guess I do need to single out two people - twickster, because I talked to her a lot off-board throughout this whole thing, and Shodan for starting a thread to solicit donations to the Chordoma Foundation. Thanks to everybody who read and everyone who donated!
Actually, her last couple posts were during the Cesario debacle, and they seem to indicate that the handling of that situation was the reason she left.

I meant to mention to you that because of you and the Dope, the Chordoma Foundation is one of the, I dunno, three charities to which I give donations. Not that it’s much, mind you, but there it is. Thanks for all that.
Thank you for that. I’m still hoping I get to bump that donation thread soon to announce the total that was raised. They’re still fixing the system that tabulates donations.
Diosa, for always having sense and still being funny. For an incredible breadth and depth of knowledge on makeup.
pbbth, for her harrowing tale of a moldy/horrid apartment and the situation to get her then fiance/now hubby and her out of it. For her overall kind yet helpful words, which many strive for but only she pulls off.
Shot From Guns, for managing to piss off exactly 50% of the board while the other 50% loves her. For consistency in her gripes and issues, when most others are not.
TokyoPlayer, for his heartwarming stories of his children (and lost child) and his battles with his aggressive family.
Sampiro. No explanation needed.
From hated to appreciated, AClockworkMelon.
Zsofia, for posts like this:
Yes! That’s it! Darn my faulty memory!
ETA: I’ll still narrate the History of the Dope for you, Melon, if you don’t mind optional accuracy.
The best history is revisionist history!
As long as you aren’t a Cuntocaust denier…
… I hate those guys.
{Shakes fist at Cuntocaust deniers.}
Damn! Just when I thinks I’m hearding a bunch of feral cats, youse guys go and post a great thread like this. Good on all of you. :D:D
