(Many years ago I learned that’s the best way to start ANY reply to a comment like that!) The flirting embarasses me. \*\* Yeah, well, that’s pretty much my take on flirting too. I don’t flirt IRL, I don’t flirt on these boards (other than that pathetic attempt), and I won’t be flirting in the future. I’ll leave that to the trained professionals. ---

Bitch all you want, but: > [@](#): > > Hey there foxy lady … > [@](#): > > Trose, how YOU doin’? **Fenris** and **Watermelon Man** flirted with me in the same thread! My day is made, goodnight. ---

Oh great. I’ve aided and abetted flirting…and in a **pit thread**. That’s it. I’m turning myself in. **ultress** : I don’t know what problem you have with **Crunchy Frog** , but a) he’s right, we exchanged emails and worked it out and b) I am entirely a big girl and can defend myself. So - especially if it’s going to involve making snide comments in my defense - please don’t do me any more favors. And just for the sake of anyone possibly being able to care less, it’s **Hama** or **Hammy** … **Hamma** is sorta, uhm, goofy lookin’. ---

A few things… I should not have let my judgement be clouded and lash out on MPSIMS. Apologies to those affected. I did not notice your name was on the OP. That makes an ass of myself. More to come later because I don’t have the time or the inclination right now. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tiggeril \* > \*\*I thought you were done with the SDMB? \*\* In specific, I said, “Fuck this message board.” Are you suggesting that I am some sort of love 'em and leave 'em CAD? I am INSULTED! I will have you know that I am a GENTLEMAN and stick around until I am THROWN OUT! Just ask my WIFE. ---
