No, the Stanley Cup stays with the Redwings. Got it? There will be no bartering of the Stanley Cup.

And as for my Gay Male quota, if what’s her face has tired of her gay men, I’ll gladly take them off her suffering hands.

Furthermore, what you meet meet people who you don’t know are gay? How do they count toward the quota, is it a consious or an unconcious quota?

Guin, [this](http://duesouth.com/consulate/cast/gross/picture2.html) is Benton Fraser (a character played by Paul Gross). [This](http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/0120-hap/fraserbr.end) is Brendan Fraser.

Oh, I definitely know who BRENDAN Fraser is.

😉

Once, in 9th grade, one of my two best friends bought one of those teeny-bopper magazines with all the posters. Including one of Brendan Fraser. She didn’t want it.

My other best friend and I tore the poster fighting over it.

Haha, Guin! Brendan Fraser is one of the very few celebrity crushes I had. Him, Mel Gibson, and (a young) Alan Alda. sigh.

Hey, folks, leave **WV\_Woman** alone. She serves a useful function.

Without people like her, we’d never get to see the depth and breadth of the base ignorance on which her positions are founded. It’s kind of refreshing to see ignorance, just plain ignorance, as opposed to ignorance dressed up in fancy arguments and fictitious data.

Of course, without people like her, gay people could marry, and adopt, and not have to worry about getting beaten to death for holding hands…

Hm.

Though I wish she would come in here to defend herself and explain her statements, I think she pretty much said she’s not going to.

She shouldn’t have to apolgize for her opinon, but I agree she should get in here and explain it considering it upset some of you.

**WV\_Woman** , if your going to post things that take up those valuable minutes of your life, why not take some of that valuable time to explain the things in which were offensive to others? I agree some statements here and just plain rude and insulting to you, but obviously some of your statements bothered people and it’s only fair that you come in here and explain.

You wasted moments of your life making a post that was ignorant and came off as bigoted to me.

Leaving in a huff of Jean Nate makes you look as juvenile as your posts.

**WV** is an idiot of the highest degree. That’s something she should be proud of.

Whoever said “the message board equivalent to sticking your fingers in your ears and singing la la la la la” or whatever, deserves a pat on the back. That was fucking hilarious and I am still giggling over here.

Actually, that turned out to be a really great thread, and we all got the opportunity to get to know **dreamer** , and there was a bit of intelligent debate and a great deal more civil and respectful exchanges of opinion, so to be perfectly honest, I’m glad that **WV\_Woman** kept the hell out of it. Even if she had bothered to answer the OP, she would surely have brought, not light, but heat.

**Fenris** , my uncle goes to the same suburban DC synogague as Paul Wolfowitz. I guess you have company.

**Medea’s Child** , well, I’d offer Detroit to Canada as well, but they’d probably rather just have the Cup.

I remember seeing that post and the thread that followed it and I thought the poster was an asshole. Then I forgot about the whole thing and did not connect it with the last few imbecilities that started this thread. Now I realise it was the same idiot in both cases. I am glad I now have a greater view of the picture.

It seems this woman goes around spouting provocation here and there, never stopping long enough to explain or reason. Just drop a blurb and run to another thread.

With such an MO probably it is best to ignore her. That is what we did, pretty much, in the thread where she posted the US should kick the UN out of the country and the discussion continued.

Just ignore her and (hopefully) she’ll go away.

EXCUSE ME? Mr. I have never made a mistake in judgement or been decieved by someone about who they really were? That was a gratuitous slam on someone you obviously have no knowledge about. You owe **Zyada** an apology, IMHO.

Awww, man! manhattan beat me to it!

Well, I’m going to post my comment anyway, so there!

Hastur, that was brilliant.

As to the OP, I feel should say…what took you guys so long? Wasn’t she the same broad who started a pit thread about stuff that got her goat (probably literally, too) and then jumped on posters for pointing out some of her complaints were just plain dumb? The comment about households who send their children to daycare when one parent could afford to stay home was just priceless. Priceless, I tells ya.

If that’s not the same ditz, my bad.
