“flensed” in this context would be “skinned.” I prefer a post-flensing immersion in a vat of lemon juice for the real incorrigibles.

USSA=[United States Ski Association](http://www.usskiteam.com/). I’m a member. Haven’t had much in the way of dealing with Latin American states, though…

Would USSA be a play on USSR suggesting that America is a totalitarian state inclined to abuse its citizens and destroy dissenters? It would fit with the whole Amerika thing and the revelation that since the country is not perfect it must be completely broken.

He’s hasn’t been banned yet, how about that? I guess we’ll be enjoying many more posts.

I cannot resist posting one comment:

**modern Amerikan parenting is the equivalent of child abuse.**  
Right you are then! :dubious:

That’s the way I took it. I guess I haven’t experienced this guy at his worst. Seems like he has some reasonable posts from time to time, although I did register a big **what the fuck?** at the “Amerikan parenting is child abuse” post.

I believe **Coldfire** was joking - as in ha ha. Good news, though - you win anti-points for bitching at a mod and not getting the joke!

_sigh_ Yes, I know **Coldie** is Dutch. Which is why I presume he spells like… other Dutch people. Which means… I’m going along with his joke. Which means… well, I don’t know _what_ it means, but this is possibly because I’m not really with it at this point.

Looks like you didn’t get the joke, either.

If you are going to pit him, why omit [this gem.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=4199331#post4199331)

Surely claiming that women should apologize for their bodies shoing signs of motherhood to the very men that assisted in getting them pregnant is worth pitting, if he is worth pitting at all.

By the way, he’s at it again.

[http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=4203985#post4203985](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=4203985#post4203985)

Now he’s asking for help figuring out ways to defraud the ‘Amerikan gummint.’

He also denies ever having claimed to be a lawyer or nuclear physicist, despite direct evidence to the contrary.
