So you agree that ugly women aren’t getting any action. And that they must resort to reading Harlequins to make up for this supposed lack of action. You said you agreed exactly.
I’m still misunderstanding you. Novels are substituting for, but not replacing sex. Please clear up my misunderstanding. What’s the difference?
I think he means that people are trying to replace sex with novels, but failing or doing a bad job…
Oh, great, he’s another one of these Clique Parrots? Jeez, that act got real old, real fast.
What I wouldn’t give for an original, creative troll once in a while. I mean, really, is it all that hard to think of new ways of trolling? Sometimes, I’m tempted to start trolling myself just to show these rancid-semen-sucking jackassed midget-munging wombat-rapists how to do their job.
C’mon, Bossk, rub those two misplaced testicles that function as your brain and come up with a thought! Please! We’re getting so tired of the Same Old Thing! Make like Must See TV and give us something new!
And we’re still waiting for that picture, you brass-deficient pile of donkey dung. I’ve seen more spine in amoebas.
Well, that goes without saying. I mean, the papercuts alone are enough to deter most people. Left untreated, one could damn near bleed to death! :eek:
Precisely!! I really can’t blame Biggirl for being confused. I wasn’t very clear, and now that I re-read what I said I agreed with “exactly,” I must amend what I said. What I really meant is that some people (i.e.- male and female) use certain things to try to fill a hole in their lives that physical and emotional intimacy would normally fill. Men often use porn. Women often use romance novels (since “porn” is still often taboo for women, which is unfair). I think the difference between porn and romance novels illustrates some of the difference between what men and women (speaking very broadly here) think they want in a relationship. I also think both porn and romance novels are a poor substitute for the real thing.
However I may have stated it, I don’t really believe that anyone who looks at porn or reads romance novels is automatically not “getting enough”. They might just like those things, or want slightly different stimulation than they’re getting from their real partners.
I am aknowledging it because I haven’t made up my mind yet, which I thought I made clear. As long as I am in general following the main rule here, I will decide when and how I acknowledge anyone.
If anyone “saw right through” my post, then they are looking WAAAAAY too hard, because I do not make “childish” posts. I can and have posted things that I didn’t think through first, or that contained inflammatory statements or opinions, or that were (unknown to me at the time) blatantly offensive to many. I have never been “childish.” I meant exactly what I said, and I mean exactly what I say now.
And now, iampunha, let me as politely and un-“childish”-like as possible, ask you to please stay out of this. What is between me and yosemitebabe is not your concern. You have no call to take sides. I have not had any problems with you, and I don’t want any started now. yosemitebabe has earned her fair share of my venom, as I will illustrate. I don’t appreciate being compared to Bossk, with whom I have no connection whatsoever, and about whom I care not a whit. I know you are perfectly smart enough to recognize things that you have no stake in. So please, stay out of it. I am asking as nicely as I know how.
You may get just as mad at me for butting in, but it bugs me to see this on a public message board. If it is such a private conversation, take it to e-mail. If not, anyone here can make a comment on what’s posted, regardless if you think they have any stake in it.
Lizard, how do you know that iampunha has no stake in this?
Perhaps he and ** yosemitebabe** are friends and he’s defending her, as friends are wont to do. Happens here all the time.
Perhaps, they aren’t but he feels you’re being unfair.
Perhaps he’s merely stating an opinion, which as a member, he has a right to do.
In any case, telling people to stay out of a message board argument is like pissing in the wind.
He can say anything he likes, within the guidelines. As can you.
And you have to admit that the Leafs are looking pretty good this year.
Aaaah, the old appeal to a popularity contest! I’m surprised it appeared so quickly, because I thought you were older than, oh, say…14?? What next? Are you going to start telling me I have no friends?
No no, “m’dear”. There will be no Greek chorus to dig you out of the hole your own big mouth has excavated…
The pattern I’m referring to is in this very thread, dumbass.
Yes, the moment we’ve all been waiting for.
Here’s what you said in response to my very first post wherin I merely stated an innocuous opinion:
And then these phrases were in response to my (understandably annoyed) second post (in which, I might add, I never claimed to “have it all figured out”):
Boy, the above sure puts the wood to your plaintive “Where did all this hostility come from? What was it that pushed you over the edge here?” I think it’s pretty obvious. Deliberate, prolonged sarcasm that served no purpose beyond a mediocre attempt to insult me.
So lets see…you:
1)- Claim you did nothing to deserve my “hostile” response
2)- Claim there is no pattern
3)- Expect it it to be obvious to all and sundry how “in the right” you are.
4)- Feign innocence, i.e. “this is all news to me”
Jeez. What a dumb waste of flesh you are.
and
Ok fellas, I see your point. However, iampunha was commenting on my post as if I was making some unjustified slam on yosemitebabe, and not merely defending myself against her attacks, which I am perfectly justified in doing. He said I was “childish” and compared me to Bossk, which I felt was completely unjustified, given the nature of the conflict between yosemitebabeand myself.
You guys are right to point out that it is a public message board. But I asked iampunha to stay out of it because I sensed that he was attempting to join in with yosemitebabe in attacking me. As far as I can tell, he has no reason to do so, since I regard this as a conflict involving only yosemitebabe and myself. Anyone may comment, but I expect that they will try to be objective, unless they are deliberately picking a fight with me. I did not think he was doing the former. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how I felt.

Simulpost.
I would not have commented had I read your most recent piost,Lizard.
Ah, it was the old typo. I failed to write I. As in “Does anyone else notice that I “have it in” for Lizard”. It was that simple. Of course, it’s much for fun for you to assume the worst, and make a huge deal about it.
Oh, get a grip. This IS the Pit. I am sarcastic with many people, when I think the premise they are supporting is full of holes. Other people are sarcastic with me, for the same reason. Nothing personal, nothing huge. Just a message board, just a bunch of pixels on a screen. I have no huge grudge against you, I don’t dislike you at all. I just thought you expressed a lame opinion, and I was responding to that. And, as everyone will see here, I never attacked you personally, called you any names, or indicated that you were a “waste of flesh”. And I have no intention of doing so.
You are unglued. You are making a HUGE deal over something unnecessarily. And I think that other people here noticed that, and have responded to that. And what do you do? You snap at them too!
You’re delusional. I am perfectly willing to respond to any irritated reaction you may have to what I have to say ON TOPIC. However, when you elevate this to a personal grudge, drag out old moldy threads that everyone has forgotten about but you, you’ve clearly just lost it.
I have locked horns with MANY people here, ON TOPIC. We’ve bantered back and forth, getting quite irritated with each other, and often quite sarcastic. But it rarely seemed necessary to resort to personal name-calling on such a venomous level, especially so quickly. Even when we were vehemently on opposite sides of an issue. I am sure I’ve gotten really annoyed on occasion with someone I was debating, but I can’t ever recall using any word or term on the level of “twat” or “waste of flesh” to anyone, ever. This is just a message board, and we are talking about ROMANCE NOVELS! Get a grip! You are the one that wants to make a huge deal about this, not me.
Tsk tsk tsk. Quite pathetic, how unglued you have become.
iampunha is the SDMB’s self-appointed defender of female honor. If you happen to disagree with a femme poster, you will draw his wrath like stink on poop. I’m sure his motivations are totally magnanimous, though, as his post in the 'FESS UP column of MPSIMS proves:
Exactly which part was it, Punha? Actually, don’t tell me. I just ate. All I know is, online friends don’t let online friends pose nude.
Now go back to your little darkroom and get off my tit.
Hell, they don’t laugh and point when I walk past. That’s all I’m sayin’ on the matter:)
Uh, fellow doper (and I use that word solely because you haven’t been banned yet), if you put something under me and I didn’t notice, that ain’t my fault.
And the whole “Tell me. Wait, no, don’t.” is sooooo second grade. I was going to use that line.
Then my dad got a job.
It’s pretty easy to put into words what this person Bossk is, he’s festering boil on the ass of a rhino. The flies are attracted to it because it smells bad and needs to be lanced. But one doesn’t dare pop that mofo because it’s on the ass of a rhino and the rhino aint happy #1 because he has a festering boil and #2 reasonable people aren’t what the rhino wants in it’s life.
techie, have I mentioned lately that I love you?
If not, I love you. I will never again be able to picture Special K without thinking of a big-ass fuckin’ boil on the ass of a rhino.
So, are you the fly or the reasonable person?
Take your logical guess Bossk…
I forgot to add Bossk – you might want to guess correctly.
