At this point I am just _hoping_ for a good troll to get the thread back on track. ---

We could try not posting. Like, let the thread die and revive it when some troll shows up. Too radical? ---

A “JFDonnelly” who joined 5 hours ago, has revived a 20-year old thread in FQ about the origin of the phrase “Gal Friday” to challenge the idea that this phrase is out of favor, especially among women. This poster also used the phrase “the perpetually butt hurt crowd” to refer to people who might find “Gal Friday” objectionable. I am, I think, risking little by predicting a quick and final good-bye to this poster will soon be in order. Although I have been wrong before. ---

I know some of the “perpetually butt hurt crowd”. They are a dime a dozen. Saw one person bitching at a fast food restaurant to the teenaged Asst. Mgr. About the over loud(it wasn’t) music coming from the kitchen. They just didn’t like the type of music. Simple as that. Obvious to everyone. ---

Seems like joining the board and reviving a 22-year-old thread just to whine about “butthurt people” would identify one as a “butthurt person”. ---

Fairly butt hurt of us to complain about a newbie stumbling in here with, what they might think is the end all answer to the issue. Man I bet they’d be surprised. Until I know more I’m gonna say they are a one and done. ---

Yes, they’ve been flagged, which is fine and thank you all for doing so. If they return and continue to post in a way you feel is counter to the rules, please flag again. Of course, that’s a noticeable “If” when it comes to returning. ---
