What Pool (among many others, I’m sure) doesn’t realize is that, unless we are trying to manipulate, control, or otherwise influence men, we really don’t give a rat’s ass what they think. So, telling us what we should or shouldn’t do is only pathetically laughable at best. ---

(Checking first to see which thread this is, interested in not being moderated) Ok then. Definitely a troll. I haven’t been around long enough to be able to suss out whether a sock. Several posters are quite gifted at that. Let us know. ---

It’s like a combination of the Mouse Xylophone & Dead Inspector Monty Python sketches-the current account comes in and makes a move towards the Xylophone, gets shot, next one promptly arrives on cue, charges in, _bang_, and the bodies keep piling up. The essobee is persistent, I’ll give him that. ---

Here’s another guy who seems to have crawled out from under a bridge and is giving definite troll vibes. > [@Cincinnati Reds announcer Thom Brennaman suspended for on-air anti-gay slur](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cincinnati-reds-announcer-thom-brennaman-suspended-for-on-air-anti-gay-slur/918619/42): > > You’ve really written nothing of substance to respond to. “My friends and I do it so it must be okay” isn’t terribly substantial. And wholly shit, tell me what it’s like to have never said the words "fag,“bitch,” “whore,” or the like. I’m genuinely curious. None of those words have ever escaped your lips? I’m not talking about ideology, I’m talking about utterances. You cannot presume Brennaman’s ideology, because you don’t know.
