So does this mean you won’t be starting that “woodstockbirdybird appreciation thread” in MPSIMS now?

Going out??? Goddess, man - we’ve already had our own version of the Sexual Olympics on two continents… 😃

All this fighting, and no one has taken the time to wish Alex Trebek happy birthday today. ☹ Buncha fuckin ingrate cushion sniffers.

Oh, and put me in the “I saw it as a joke in the first place” camp. But it all seems to be settled. Can we go back to bitching about other IMPORTANT things like Microsoft products, random co-workers, and the corrupt administration here at the SDMB?

Love, we can forgive him one continent - we only posted about the American Olympics on the UnaBoard 🙂

**waterj2** - here’s a few links to bring you up to date a bit:  
[Here’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=57366&pagenumber=2) where Una officially declared us as “us” (she unofficially declared us [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=55213)) and [here’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=65179) the UK sexual Olympics  
and there have been many vague references elsewhere: Dark Consort of the Dark Queen of ULVAN, having Una to myself in the lesbian orgy thread 😃 (me, selfish? who said that? ;)), that sort of thing.

Thanks for the best wishes.

**woodstockbirdybird** - thank you for the apology and for clearing up what your original intentions were.

First, though Silver Fire accused him of it and TubaDiva suspected it, woodstockbirdybird was not encouraging anybody to post anything in his favor. If anything it was simply that we got his side of things much sooner than the rest of you.

Second, most of these stupid “how could you be so mean to x” threads would be avoided if we’d all just spend a little less time being offended for other people. Neither Manservant Heebijus of Silver Fire were the ones consuming all the oxygen from the room with the passion of the outrage. The only two people that could legitimately be offended by woodstockbirdybird were Anthracite and Fierra and it doesn’t seem they were all too horribly offended (or moved on quickly if they were). Why not just let them handle their own issues and you handle your own and I will handle mine and we’ll all be fine.

'Scuse me?

Listen obfus, if you’re such a huge advocate of people handling their own issues, why the fuck are you even posting here? In case you hadn’t noticed, this thread was over a long time ago when woodstock came in here and explained himself.

BTW, who in hell are you to tell ME what I can or cannot be “legitimately offended” by? Fuck off.

Now let’s not get bitchy.

You did in fact accuse us of gathering around in SLO and coordinate our defense of woodstockbirdybird. In fact, you challenged us to do it.

Now, I am not telling you what you can legitimately be offended by, I am just saying that if you want to wander around getting all puffed up about things that don’t have much to do with you then it is just going to lead to silly conflict that need not occur.

I don’t really see how this thread had died, as it was in the top ten threads in the forum when I posted. But you are right, the point of conflict had been settled. That is why you will find that I did not comment on the point of conflict, just the silliness of its existence.

I’ll try to remember and check with you next time to see if the window for commentary has closed before participating. Now, you fuck off; and don’t forget to wash your hands lest your fingers betray a tell-tale odor.

By the way, I did not intentionally get Manservant Hecubus’s name wrong. I don’t know how I mangled it so thoroughly.

God, this is stupid. I know my opinion doesn’t matter to most of you, but I’ve lost a lot of respect for several posters over their ridiculous reaction to a 2-letter post. Are your lives so empty that this seems worthy of a 2 page Pit thread?

The fact that dozens of posters jumped on WBB means nothing except friends of Anthracite were quickest to respond. Busybodies can stir up a lot of shit really fast with modern communication methods. I’m sure this would be a lot more balanced if WBB was spreading word that he was being attacked viciously over what’s essentially nothing.

Can some Moderator kindly shoot this thread and put it out of its misery, before too many more people wander in to post anout an issue that was closed early yesterday morning?

I don’t think that my imminent SPOOFE-vengence was settled yesterday morning.

Or maybe it was, come to think about it. I do seem to remember the ants…

I had to give silver the same song and dance you gave her before she decided to prance around happily, acting as if she had won the argument.
