You don’t have to have done anything _to_ me for me to agree with **Excalibre** , my dear.

I took it as a reference to your frequent flirting outside MPSIMS. If he meant it some other way, I guess I read him wrong, but I doubt it.

Bit more than flirting, really. Always seems like **Anaamika** can’t _bear_ to pass up an opportunity to remind us all how horny she is. She becomes the steamy sex goddess online because she can’t in real life.

Do you have any examples of this to illustrate what you’re talking about? I see **Anaamika** around the board a lot, and I can’t say that I’ve noticed this. Then again, I can be pretty oblivious.

But if you really do have a problem with her on-line behavior, shouldn’t you have started a Pit thread about it. You’ve managed to hijack this thread away from its purpose–discussing how much the Maple Leafs suck.

I wasn’t here to start a pit thread. I was just asking **Anaamika** to go away and do something else.

… and making extremely rude anatomical remarks, later back-pedalled to charges of extensive flirting, in a thread to which all of her contributions were not flirty in the least – not to mention on-topic. Makes sense :rolleyes:

… Not to mention I’m sure you’d mind her flirting a lot less if she ever flirted with _you_, too 😛

“Backpedalled”? Do you know what that word needs? What do you think I was saying with that comment? And it’s not like it was completely out of the blue. The context was after she decided to offer up unnecessary insults towards me. If you want to start something with me, at least try to make some sense, **Noone Special**.

I’m the one that characterised it as frequent flirting, not **Excalibre**.

Right, her personal attack was on topic, sure.

_snort_  
I think you need a new username, you’re definitely … “special”. Bless your heart!

Oh well, now poor **Excalibre** ’s going to need therapy, and maybe some real serious drugs, to get over the mental image of a vagina in his face. That was inconsiderate.

This has the potential to become a catch-phrase, methinks.

Only among those so hard up for human contact that they become obsessed with pretending they’re getting it on a message board. {{{{{ **Malacandra** }}}}}

Or delusions of adequacy which they have to try to satisfy the same way.

And no hugs without buying me a drink, **Excalibre**. 😛

That would be a thing of beauty: A new catchphrase spawned in a thread dedicated to catch phrases.

Oh, and I guess this as good a time to ask as any.

**Noone special** , is your username a deliberate on unknowing misspelling? That just happens to be one of my grammatical pet peeves so I find myself not liking you without even reading your posts. I know its anal and I’m working on it. Tell me it was intended as humor though!

(bolding mine) A bicycle?  
Seriously, yes, I know what it means. But I decided that **MrDibble** ’s comment about excessive flirtng was yours, for some reason. So I appologize and retract my contention that you are a backtracker – apparently you are as adament as ever that your use of that particular anatomical insult was in good taste…

> [@](#):

THe **very worst** I can can come up with fomr her is this:

>
> Actually, while everything I said before is true, I’m adding this reason, too. I do it to piss **Excalibre** off.

which came as a “me too” post right after **Cliffy** ; I read it as a good-natured joke, actually. I’m sure you’ll say something about what this, too, proved about my level of perception.

> [@](#):

Dunno. Maybe, maybe not. I’ll leave it to the readers to make their minds up for themselves.

What…? And give up practing for those Olympics? 😃  
Although **flight** seems to agree with you.

**flight** – I’m afraid you’re going to have to keep hating me… because at the time I registered I _thought_ I was spelling that correctly :smack:. Although, given my track record in this thread, if the only reason you hate me right now is my user name, I’m in better shape with you than with many others ☹

I don’t hate you - I was being light-hearted. Really. Although it did amuse me that you’ve a higher postcount than me, and even I know that **Excalibre** is…how did Peter put it? Aah yes “Not in the vagina business!”

I actually figured that out… hence the smiley in my previous response 🙂

:smack: That explains a few things, then… :smack:

I just honestly don’t notice and don’t care about people’s orientations/preferences… not to mention I didn’t actually _know_ whether **Excalibre** is male or female. It just looked like third-grade boy-pulls-girl’s-ponytail stuff, so I assumed that that was, indeed, what was going on.

**Excalibre** – while I still think you were exceedingly rude to **Anaamika** , and unreasonably so, I obviously did misunderstand your motives; I appologize for my mischaracterization of you based on my misunderstanding.  
I still think you went way off the deep end attacking her like that, however. And now I’m **really** confused as to _why_ 😕

There’s a little history of antagonism there, outside just this one thread.

I think it started when **'mika** tried to rub her vagina in\*\* Excalibre’s\*\* face or something… 😉

That’s what I love about this board. Come for the vagina-rubbing, stay for the pie.
