The BBQ Pit

Dear Gaudere:

Thanks a lot for your personal answer in this board.

I must apologize for not opening my email box to look up your reply to my direct email query to you.

I guess I don’t have to take the trouble with my email box now.
Homebrew says:

“I never do anything bad, so she’s never had to scold me.”
You are a woman, or Home is mistaken?
I love all women.

They are my mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, analogically wife, and my daughters.

I am thinking of asking a question or introducing a topic in the appropriate board on woes of mankind coming almost exclusively from men than from women.

Of course Judaism and Christianity put the original blame on the primeval woman, Eve.
As I said somewhere that woman is the mother of mankind, and no man was ever born and brought up except by women.
Well, you are very busy, I understand; but not enough as to not attend to my query even in this board of the Pit.

Thanks a lot.
One last thing, that [hat on] and [hat off] thing is that your metaphorical way to telling readers that you are exercising on that instance your adm/mod?

It adds softness to an often unpleasant act from your part, but necessary.

p.s. One for the road: Your name is Gaudere. Try this:

“Gaudete in Domino, iterum dico vobis, gaudete; moderatio vestra sit nota omnibus hominibus.”

Something like that, I am not so sure now.

Susma, as I understood it, her chosen board name means “to rejoice” (and is a play on words for reasons I don’t feel it appropriate to explain, although knowledge of C.S. Lewis’s life would probably be of some help). The fact that she gave her given name above and in your e-mail might have clued you in to her femaleness (although there’s a thread somewhere in the archives that describes her as David B.'s gay lover ;)).

In point of fact, though, I saw your anal/oral sex OP while the thread was still open, and couldn’t see any subject for debate. If you’re willing, can you create a statement of what you wanted to debate about it? Its morality? Its relative use by people? Its likelihood of being used as an epithet in a Pit insult? :slight_smile: (Well, maybe not that last…) AFAIK, only certain topics that verge on the advocacy of regular lawbreaking are considered totally improper as thread topics – but we (the board as a whole, posters and administration alike) try to use the forum descriptions intelligently – Not necessarily a “Resolved: anal sex is yucky and ought to be banned everywhere/ Resolved: anal sex is the greatest thing since sliced ham, and everybody ought to do it at every possible opportunity” formal statement of topic for debate, but at least a proposition that one can argue intelligently for or against (and preferably one that isn’t a unanimous view among all board members – such threads are intensely boring and quickly sink from sight). I’d be glad to argue with you – either disagreeing with you or on your side – if you pose a topic that is debatable. But yours has all the virtues of the Invisible Pink Unicorn – there was no thesis that could be debated, a necessary ingredient for a GD OP – otherwise it would be Great Unanimous Agreements or Great Mundane and Pointless Stuff We Must Share!

Hope that helps.

Oh for the love of God. Someone call an ambulance so we can extricate Susma Rio Sep’s head from Gaudere’s ass. WTF is an “analogically wife”? I guess that could work for a lesbian life-couple, but that doesn’t seem to be what you are getting at.

The basic problem that has existed with the threads you have started (at least those that I have seen) is that they have no point. It is as if you have been smoking up for the last couple hours and then randomly typed the free associative thoughts that entered your head. Look at your post above, it is exactly what I am talking about.

Try this: Think of something you want to talk about on the boards (this part you have down), form a cohesive point and THEN post it (this is the part you are missing).

You need to identify whether there is some arguable point or whether it is just semi-intelligible rantings. There are plenty of rantings here and they are fine, but they aren’t going to last five minutes in GD or GQ.

Good luck, I am going to have to see what you come up with in the future.

Actually, Polycarp, I gotta disagree with you a bit. Shannon is one of those gender-ambiguous names that don’t necessarily allow one to draw a conclusion.

However, I’ve met Gaudere and she is quite female (and a lovely one at that). On the other hand, I have never met David B, so I cannot express any opinon as to whether they may be gay lovers.

If it is allowed to reproduce the concerned message here, may I reprint it here?

Otherwise, I might not have an easier way to show how there are debatable points in that message on the merit of anal and oral sex.

But that is not really my purpose, to start a debate.

So, here it is again:

The merit of anal sex and oral sex

For you guys, after you have satisfied your libidinous curiosity with vagina, and clitoris, and labia majora and labia minora, in other words with all the vulva and its adjuncts, anal sex is very convenient in terms of preventing unwanted pregnancy; and you can still use your hands and figures for other sex probings.

For you girls, after you have satisfied your libidinous curiosity with the penis and all its adjuncts, oral sex is very convenient in terms of preventing uninvited pregnancy; and you still have your hands and fingers for other sex probings.

I would most emphatically however counsel that both parties should be agreeable, and very important also observe the common sense dictates of hygiene, sanitation, and aesthetics.

If you feel bad about it afterwards, that will pass eventually.

Eventually, you and your partner will be able to say to each other, “That was fun and good, we’ll do it again next time when we have the urge and the time”.
And remember, also very important:

“Primum non nocere;
Ultimum non nocere;
Interim numquam nocere.”
Susma Rio Sep

The essential debatable point is…

But the message is not really an invitation to debate, as an invitation to discuss, to express your impressions and contributions about the merit or demerit of anal and oral sex, or its acceptability or inacceptability.

I give the reasons why it is acceptable, namely, that it is a source of erotic pleasure, and most importantly, it is a very good effective way of preventing unwanted pregnancy, as one enjoys sex with a collaborating partner of the opposite sex.

But you say that’s a debate.

Well, maybe you are right; but there are discussions which don’t have to be argued on stubbornly so that both sides keep to their positions, and both sides end up exactly the same as they were before the discussion or the debate.

I refer to discussions where all parties contributing get to know more precisely and more extensively and more deeply why each party harbors the opinion he does harbor, and in the process of hearing and understanding the reasons of each party for his opinion, all get to know a subject better and very probably enlarge on his view of the subject, adding to and even modifying his original position.
If you would survey the topics I have introduced so far in Great Debates, could you be disposed to notice that there is no attitude from me to engage in debate, but more in discussion: exchange of views on a question with an open mind for expanding and modifying one’s mind if reasons brought out and explained should urge.
Let us read the description of Great Debates:

Great Debates
For long-running discussions of the great questions of our time. This is also the place for religious debates and (if you feel you must) witnessing.
Honestly, my contributions so far and still to come will be more on discussion than on debate, the way you understand debate.

Do you notice that the concerned board is also for religious people to do witnessing?

However, if you do wish to engage in a conventional debate, where there are the nay side and the yea side, and neither twain shall meet, you will also see in my message on the merit of anal and oral sex a topic for debate, essentially namely:

“Anal and Oral Sex Is Acceptable.”

If that topic were allowed to continue, I would agree with others on their opinions, on unacceptability or not altogether acceptability of anal and oral sex, recognizing their grounds for their opinions.

And maybe some posters might even come up with a better way to do sex and convince me that it is also acceptable.

Then all of us might be profit from his contribution.

But I would not be conventionally debating but more into discussion.

Even though you continue in a debating mood and mode.

So, even though others might approach my topic from the standpoint of debate, and they will find debatable points there; I on my part is sincerely after the discussion aspect as I explained above.

How alarming and not a little freaky.

okay…um…well.

i still think there’s not much to debate about.

Anal/Oral Sex + Consenting Adults = Yay!

it might work for an IMHO thread, i guess.
