Well, I’m just guessing: but in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=84308) thread he told Jodi to suck his dick and then called her a stupid bitch after receiving a warning. could that be it?

Holy shit. Yeah, I guess that would do it. ---

We butch cockblockers were just getting in the way of all his manly fun. It’s sad, because I’ve liked a lot of his posts, but he just went a bit too far. I think Jodi enjoys being by anonymous strangers to suck dick even less than she enjoys being the recipient of “the flick” during business meetings. 😉 ---

Maybe it was just a really subpar attempt at flirting. ---

For what it’s worth, I think that insult (the original one that he posted) is about the most Jr. High thing I’ve read in ages. Come on, surely he could have done better then that. Grow up, man. And good riddence. And don’t stare at my tits at work or I’ll poke your eyes out with my Craftsman multi-tip screwdriver. Zette ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zette \* > **And don’t stare at my tits at work or I’ll poke your eyes out with my Craftsman multi-tip screwdriver.** Agreed, but you have to agree to something as well. In the workplace, don’t put things over your breasts that are going to make me look. Recently a co-worker wore a t-shirt to work that had a picture of a big pair of glasses. It was actually a nice shirt, but putting glasses over her breasts made me feel like they were watching me. I couldn’t help but look. I had to avoid her all day. And I’m a voracious reader; if you put words on your boobs I’m going to read them. If you put lots of words on them, then I’m going to take a while to read them. If you put lots of small words on them I’m going to have to lean close and take a while to read them. If you put lots of Braille words on them, I’m going to get fired. (I figure the hijack is mostly ok, since it is pretty obvious how Lexicon got himself banned) ---

Well, I see no problem with ever-so-discreet scoping, a skill every gay man who has been in a locker room has practiced. At my last job, there was one guy who made me drool with lust internally, yet, I never talked to him or even acknowledged his existence as anything but a fellow work-unit, but if I got the chance to see him walk away, I definitely looked. You can think about my muscled, hairy chest instead of manboobs, if you like (5’8", 169, muscular, brown hair, green eyes) ---

I mean if we weren’t drooling over the same guys at bars, I’d be spending the whole night telling you how hot YOU were. It’s a win win. jarbaby ---

She wore a shirt with eyeglasses on the boobs?? Did you have a co-worker intervention? Yikes… For what it’s worth, I love having my boobs looked at outside of work: [http://fff.fathom.org/pages/zette/Mvc-276small.jpg](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/zette/Mvc-276small.jpg) See? I like it! Look- boobies! However, at work is another issue. I don’t wear revealing clothes at work, and I don’t expect anyone scoping out my boobs, no matter how fabulous they are. If I do catch someone doing it, I generally offer to take a picture for them, so they can continue on their own time. (No, no one has taken me up on it yet). Either that or I brandish my Craftsman, usually with the flat-head tip. (I’m a network admin, so I have all sorts of tools- some very sharp. Go ahead. Make my day.) Zette ---

"what’s the worst response to a mod’s post of “do that again and you’re banned” **Survey says** originally posted by _Lexicon_ > [@](#): > > \*\* I don’t really care if you ban me. I’ve been here off and on for long enough that getting banned is bullshit and is often done for stupid reasons. > \*\* Ding ding ding ding! That was the #1 Answer! My suggestion : if a Mod says ‘do that again and you’re banned’, turn off your computer, do something else for a day or so. Then come back to the thread, re-read what you posted. **IF** you still have questions (and I’d be betting that you wouldn’t), then compose an e-mail to the mod and ask it. Before hitting the ‘send’ button, walk away from your computer, have a glass of pop or something, re-read what you wrote. If you’re satisified it asks the question without rudeness etc, then hit send. Wait for a response. Read the response. While all this is going on, do **not** post to the original thread. If more folks would follow that advice, **Tuba & Lynn**'s fingers wouldn’t be so tired. ---
