Hmm, yes, “[Flouncers and their Steeds](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/flouncers-and-their-steeds/913521).” Not very well received…

And FWIW, I see haven’t committed to my permanent ignore promise either (that is, I must have scrubbed them off my ignore list at some point).

I seem to have forgotten my own advice.

Which, I’ve got to admit, I still think is good advice.

Desalination means taking salt out of water, not earth.

Removing the salt from the soil (actually, IIRC, moving the salt below the roots) is leaching.

Chela is a TERF, not an Incel, though it’s easy to confuse the two. The main difference is TERFs blame all their problems on men and Incels blame all their problems on women.

I thought TERF was about transgender people.

Exclusion of.

Their position is that men are evil, and transwomen are really just men, hence also evil.

That is close to how it was originally used, but nowadays, despite the “RF” standing for “Radical Feminist”, you don’t have to be a radical feminist to be a terf. You can think that only _some_ men are part of a conspiracy to invade women’s spaces and not necessarily blame all the worlds ills on the rest of the men.

As I was drafting this reply, I realized that all these years I thought you had started out posting almost exclusively to #Thread Games and then branched out to #The BBQ Pit etc. Turns out that was **atimnie** and I thought he had turned into you.

Sorry.
