Well, I find her stunningly attractive, but it still comes down to just **Fierra**

**Tuba** , your word is absolute law to me here. I will continue to act as you have asked of me, or insist that I myself be banned.

Okay, so it’s been explained by woodstock himself. Excellent.

SPOOFE, I don’t hate all the California Dopers, least not you.

{{{{Milo}}}} Just figured you might need a hug from this bunny.

(I can’t really see myself as a “fawn”…)

> All right, enough already. I’ll try to keep it short so I don’t sound defensive. I did indeed mean it as a joke. I was responding to the thread title only. I have absolutely no personal grudge against **Anthracite** ; unfortunately I was thoughtless and picked her birthday thread instead of a less personal thread for my attempt at a witty retort. I’m not gonna debate whether or not the “joke” was immature or stupid; that’s entirely subjective, and I at least found it somewhat funny at the time. But it was not posted to be intentionally hurtful, though I obviously should have thought more about how it would be interpreted.

Sounds like BS to me.

I also publicly apologize to **Anthracite** and **fierra** , who it directly affected, and wish **Anthracite** a sincere happy (belated) birthday.

How big of you.

Anyone else get the impression **woodstalkchumpbird** and **Esprick** are pals? ( :rolleyes: )

No, no, he sent me a nice mail last night prior to posting here. I believe his intentions were just as he stated, and I see no reason to pick on him or insult him. Everything is cool between him and me and **Fierra**. Please just let this issue drop, all around, OK? It’s such a nice day, let’s all go outside and have fun!

Of course, it’s more than 100 F by my thermometer, and I almost had heatstroke from mowing the lawn…so maybe inside is better.

YOur acceptance of the apology was classy all right, but this, well, this tops it, IMHO. and should, for all concerned, end the matter.

Beautiful day, my ass! It’s like a million degrees out there! (Okay, so it’s only 84°F with 51% humidity…) The air is a giant wool blanket, and I can’t **breathe** if I go outside! Ick, I hate humidity… ☹

First off, let me impress upon you the simple fact that I do not care what you think of me. You did what I wanted you to, you apologized to Una. You are my bitch now, and you are a good little bitch.

If you’ll do that search you speak of, you’ll find me getting nicer over time. You’ll find me acting like a jerk, apologizing and taking my lumps for it. You’ll find me maturing, albeit slowly, which is something for you to take a lesson from. If you are capable of learning.

Finally, if you want me to kiss your ass, you’re going to have to mark off a spot. You’re all ass to me.

I don’t know. You could have come in here guns a’ blazin’, after having been roasted so much. Instead you explained yourself, showed you just meant it as a harmless joke, and apologized to my **Fierra** and me. Sure, you picked back on **Manservant** , that’s to be expected. **Manservant** for his part is a genuinely good guy, who really only wanted to stick up for me and **Fierra**. I think by showing restraint overall you are the more classy person between us.

And thank you, once again, for being a gentleman.

Maybe we’re both not so bad, huh? 🙂

It would be great if all parties involved just shook hands, walked away from the thread, and had a cold one. How about it, all?

What an odd thread: full of sound and fury, signifying … well, something, I guess. However, I did not know beforehand that Anthracite and Fierra were going out, I had just thought they were friends, so that’s a little less ignorance for me. Congrats on the relationship, you both seem like great people. And I’m sure you’ll be able to marry someday (if that is still what you want at the time, don’t want to jinx you). Dear God, I hope so at least.
