> [@jimbuff314](#): > > Also, I am no longer accepting requests for gratuitous sweaty sex unless children and long-term commitment(s) are on the table. Without those, I really donā€™t see any point to it. Yaā€™ll know who you are. You let the kids onto the table, the next thing you know youā€™ll have pee all over the table and one of them will be puking up their spinach and the contracts for long-term commitments get ruined. Iā€™m just sayinā€™. A tremendous mess gets made and children are embarrassed! :eek: Zombie Plow Drivers want CHAIIIIIIIIIIIIINS !! Zombie Dry Cleaners want STAIIIIIIIIIIIINS !! ---

We should have Best Friends Forever. And since you are best friends if your BFF gets banned then you should get banned. Imagine if your BFF was BFF to dozens of members, one of whom gets banned. It would be interesting to see what kind of chain reaction that would cause. ---
