Well, back to @RitterSport’s most recent inquiry, Asuka has decided to ask a most R-rated question in

[https://boards](https://boards). [straightdope.com/t/potentially-getting-hurt-during-sex-act-question-maybe-offensive/965110](http://straightdope.com/t/potentially-getting-hurt-during-sex-act-question-maybe-offensive/965110)

I mean, at least he took a moment to note the ‘potentially offensive’, but just, wow. Still don’t think he’s trolling, but he looks to need the “poor impulse control (posting)” tattoo. Definitely seems to post and/or reply whatever flies through their head on a near daily basis.

And if you combine the first line of the OP with the subject material, it verges on (or crosses) into TMI.

I don’t think he’s a troll, but speaking of stunningly oblivious unintended irony:

Emphasis mine. Apparently DrDeth is more concerned about inappropriate use of weedkiller than inappropriate use of guns.

I can think of far more valid personal uses for herbicide (killing weeds in your yard) than valid personal uses for personcide (killing people in your yard?)

The whole idea behind calling someone out for “sealioning” is so fucking dumb. I’ve been accused of it in a couple of Elon Musk-related threads. To me it’s someone saying, “I don’t feel like backing up what I said, so quit asking. But I’ll continue to respond to other points. Get over it. You’re sealioning.” In other words, “I object to this line of questioning on the grounds it would be devastating to my case.”

Your complete lack of response when someone [does respond](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-the-hate-for-elon-musk/961053/220) to you doesn’t exactly invite continued debate with you, Musk-felcher

The only case I’ve seen “devastated” in the Musk thread is your own sycophantic fanboi defense of him.

Give me a break with this fucking poster already. Someone else mentioned how he basically never comes back to his own threads – shouldn’t that be frowned upon?

I mean, you could have actually provided an ounce of proof of your claim instead of simply stating as a fact it couldn’t make the 1st turn. Talk about insincere.

Your reading comprehension is even worse than your taste in billionaires’ anuses, sycophantic slag. Never said anything about “the 1st turn”

And it’s not like I didn’t provide the cave survey Musk’s pool of professional idiots clearly didn’t bother to find, that in fact proves the thing I _did_ claim. Of course, you’d need to be able to read a cave map to see that, and you couldn’t even find your own ass with both hands if you were spotted two tries, so I don’t hold out any hope of that.

You have yet to demonstrate the ability to accept any evidence which does not paint Musk as an infallible demigod.
