Someone might want to do a little more than just skimming the rules. CMC ---

okay if y’all want to just make vague references…I’m here if you want to directly discuss the issue. ---

I’ll be the jerk that brings this up. “Gone with the Wind” is a racist movie that should be never shown again. Anyone associated with it should be reviled and any references to them should be stricken from the history books. I don’t really believe any of that, but that’s the current environment we live in. Can I put it great debates? ---

John Lewis was from the south, he was a southerner. And the south fought a war against the USA to maintain the institution of slavery. Should we mourn John Lewis? Inquiring trolls want to know. Asking for a friend. ---

And given his thoughts on the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, I’m starting to worry about his own relationships. He seems to think that sex either “just happens” or one party is “forced” into it. The idea of adults engaging in consensual sex acts with each other appears to be difficult to grasp. ---

I wager; Five hundred quatloos that the newcomer will get it’s first warning within the next twenty four hours. One thousand quatloos that the newcomer is untrainable. Five thousand quatloos that the newcomer will have to be destroyed. CMC ---

kswiss is very obviously trolling in this thread: > [@Should we Mourn the death of Olivia de Havilland](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-we-mourn-the-death-of-olivia-de-havilland/916455): > > Wonderful actress. Strong powerful woman. Quite ahead of her time regarding woman’s rights. And breaking the studio system. Yet she was in this horribly racist movie called “Gone with the Wind”, it was banned recently. Now has come back with some “disclaimers”. Should she be acknowledged by at the Oscars? ---

Somehow Democratic politicians coming around on the same sex marriage issue outraged him (kswiss). I didn’t really understand his reasoning, it mostly seemed like he was just angry about them getting any credit for doing so. Conservatives remain strange animals to me. ---

kswiss seemed most annoyed that whole s/he posted numerous times (4? 5?) in the conservative/anti-same sex marriage thread that he/she is conservative but is not against it, and no one stepped up to pat kswiss on the back or admit that not every single conservative in the entire country (world?) is against it. ---

@kswiss is angy about changing oil in his car. Further evidence suggests that _angry, dumb_ and _jackass_ are his default settings. If he remains true to form, I suspect a banning is in his very near future. I’m gonna miss him. ---

“Quatloo” is a currency used in the Star Trek episode “The Gamesters of Triskelion” - the disembodied entities that kidnapped Kirk, Spock and Chekov in order to have them compete in battles to the death bet using “Quatloos,” saying things like “300 Quatloos on the newcomer”.
