> [@OxyMoron](#): > > This is a board devoted to _fighting ignorance_, a goal we’ve rather lost in all the handwringing and {{{{hugging}}}} MPSIMS crap. Right on, brother! Testify! Because the best way to _fight ignorance_ is to call people cocksuckers and pussies and assholes and douchebags and talk about pubic hair and generally wave your virtual dick around. Because _this_ section of the internet message board is all about how life is on the _street_! Look, y’all want to make with the trash talk, cool. But please spare us the “keeping it real” bullshit. Some people like to use smileys and {{hugs}}, but that’s no more mundane and pointless than calling everybody a cocksucker. > [@Giraffe](#): > > Doh, I mean SolGrundy’s nose, of course. I can’t keep all the noses and balls in this thread straight. **SolGrundy’s** nose is just fine without balls, thanks. And keeping it straight has nothing to do with it. ---

Helloo… Some thoughts on reading this thread. I believe I was singled out before the link as the OP and title resembled my thread too closely to be a pitting of the phenomenon in general. It’s titled ‘_Thinking_\* about leaving’ not ‘leaving’ so it’s not disingenuous. Perhaps I _was_ looking for attention. I’ll admit freely that I am an attention seeker. But I did believe I was more of a liability than an asset here. This type of sarcasm is jerky IMO, but I wasn’t particularly phased by it. ---

> [@OxyMoron](#): > > **Demo** , you didn’t answer my question (_oh, no, I feel so…ignored!_). I’m sorry. What? If you’re asking me if I’m circumcised that’s just wrong. There’s a time and place for those kind of questions, but it’s definitely not here. I think IMHO would be more appropriate for that sort of poll. ---

I always understood that the point of this board was to fight ignorance and be pitted. Personally, I long for a good pitting. And much as I’d like to jump on the bandwagon, I’ll only suck Demo’s dick if it’s circumcised. ---

> [@OxyMoron](#): > > Ohfercrissake, Balduran, get your goddamn panties out of a twist. This is a board devoted to _fighting ignorance_, a goal we’ve rather lost in all the handwringing and {{{{hugging}}}} MPSIMS crap. Anyone who’s feeling genuinely crappy enough to be doing any serious harm needs to back the fuck away from the keyboard and get, say, a real life and a real shrink, and not necessarily in that order. Yeah, because that’s _so much worse_ than the fucking flirt-fest this thread turned into for the first twenty five posts or so. **Lobsang** posts a thread in MPSIMS and a bunch of people show up to pat him on the back and tell him how much they like him. **Demo** posts a Pit thread and a bunch of people show up to pat him on the back and tell him how much they like him. The only difference is, **Lobsang** was able to post his without being a collossal cock about it. And you want to tell me that both posters didn’t get _exactly_ the reaction they hoped for? Bullshit. Oh, and **Mermaid** , two words of advice: learn to code, and learn to read. ---

> [@Miller](#): > > Oh, and **Mermaid** , two words of advice: learn to code, and learn to read. Yep I screwed up the coding, it happens sometimes when I switch from html to ubb code. I’m sure no one else has ever made that mistake. I also read, write and speak English most goodly too. 😉 I’m not sure what I was reading this morning though. ---

I’ll lay it our for you: **thinksnow** , accidentally posting under his wife’s screen name, says that MPSIMS is for “whiny bitches.” But half the posts made by his wife are in that forum. Therefore, **thinksnow** just called his wife a whiny bitch. I admit my reply to him was petty and cheap. But you know what they say: when in Rome… ---
