Folks, take a deep breath. Think about this: ZPG Zealot masturbating. It’s got to have happened at least one time.
I’m guessing she cries afterwords.

This attitude is just so whacked. By this theory, when I stroke my dog that’s just the beginning of a continuum of violence that ends with me punching him in the face.
You are quibbling about her calling 9/11 bombings?
The way it was written. I have no idea how you got your interpretation from what I have bolded, since I told Villa that if s/he was responding to my post, s/he wasn’t making any sense. How do you get me admitting anything from that?
Well, for one thing, I’m not defending anyone. For another, I did read the links. As for why I care, I dunno but for some reason when assholes like you jump to the absolute worst interpretation you possibly can, it irritates me. If I’m bored, I might post.
What makes you decide that everyone who doesn’t think exactly like you must be evil and must be attacked?
I am defending no one. I merely pointed out that from the examples given, ZPG Zealot did not appear batshit crazy. Subsequent examples have caused me to reassess my opinion, but far too often on this board people grab a sentence or a paragraph, misinterpret it and pig pile on the poster. I thought this was one of those times.
So how do you feel about a fist bump?
Referring to airliner crashes as “bombings” and now you asking if I’m quibbling strikes me that both of you are part of the “Truth” Movement.
Oh, you read the links, did you? Then why were your earlier comments based only on small quotes in this thread? How did you not know that ZPG repeatedly claimed that adoptive parents forced children to call them Mom and Dad, since that was the very crux of that thread? How do you explain this?:
Also, perhaps **Villa **can come back and tell us what he meant by his comment but I don’t see any other way to interpret it than “if you think she’s not that bad, then you are batshit crazy yourself”. Which you then admitted you were.
If this is true, I apologize.
I’m just – I don’t even – what? I don’t think I’ve ever in my life met anyone who believed that a man offering to shake a woman’s hand represents a violent intrusion. It seems so culturally alien to me. I mean, I’ve met women who still shake hands in the dainty, old-fashioned way, but the thought that offering my hand to a woman is a presumptive imposition of physical force … I simply can’t begin to understand that. Female attorneys, doctors, therapists, professors, bosses – I’ve shaken hands with them all – it just seems, socially, like the thing to do when you’re meeting someone in a professional context.
It’s one thing to say that one is not comfortable, as a matter of culture, making physical contact with a man. It seems another thing entirely to claim that – when I act as my culture tells me is the best way to be respectful toward women – I am asserting dominance and am more likely to be a rapist. If I were shaking hands with men in the same group as a woman, I would feel downright assholish not offering to shake her hand, as if I thought she weren’t worthy of it. It wouldn’t occur to me that I was acting out the prelude to rape (or behaving as the john to her prostitute).
Why specifically man-to-woman, anyway? Why doesn’t the same logic apply when a man offers to shake another man’s hand? That’s a serious question. It seems either you’re admitting that men and women are not to be treated as social equals, or no one should ever offer to shake another person’s hand.
Forced blowjob.
Good to know.
The only thing I have got out of this thread is that all of you that are shaking hands with prostitutes have been wasting your money.
I tried to pursue this line of thought pages ago. It would insult me if a man didn’t offer to shake my hand while going around shaking hands with all the men in the room. Fortunately for me I have never encountered a man who did this, a woman who was offended by handshaking, or even heard that it was something to worry about, at all. But as far as I can tell **ZPG **thinks all of us require ‘consciousness raising’ until we all realize how evil shaking hands is. Then we can all change over to her special brand of religious bigotry in which women are not the social equals of men, but instead are to be either put on a pedestal or denigrated as whores. So an entire culture should change to so that she doesn’t have to change.
It’s abso-bloody-lutely obvious what I meant. Which is what you understood. And the fact that curly didn’t understand it is an indication of the level of smarts we are dealing with there.
Excellent, thank you. I didn’t think your post was at all unclear myself, and I agree that only curly’s general ineptitude is the cause of her lack of understanding.
I don’t know what the “Truth” Movement is (and am not interested in looking it up). I’d say that referring to 9/11 as “airliner crashes” is not quite as close to what happened than “bombings”. The first sounds like an accident, the second a purposeful act of violence.
Because that’s all there was you dip. Go back and read the OP.
What thread? The link in the OP goes to one post.
You pop in with a “I’m right, you are wrong and therefore crazy” post and I give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not that immature and stupid. Won’t make that mistake again.
Can we drop the curlcoat nonsense? I want to get back to ZPG.
What if I, as a woman, extend my hand first?
Whore!
Everyone knows that New Zilanders don’t shake hands.
How would our poor ZPG react to a nose-rubbing I wonder? 
Yeah, let’s get back to the insane non-handshaker. This episode of ‘The Curlcoat Show’ has become boring now.
