Oh for fk's sake. Who gives a rat's arse.

Tell your woman to go get you a beer and then go down on you. After you're finished tell her you're hungry and that she should go make you something to eat. Scoff it down and go out drinking with the boys. Come back whenever. If she complains, tell her that that's the way it is and if she doesn't like it, the door is not far away.


Who's "you"? Maybe you should be the next target in a harassment campaign?


It was a joke ... too bad you didn't get it. Hey, I noticed that you followed Freaka around for pages and pages for allegedly insulting Jinju's wife but you're not stalking this guy. Why not? You like hearing him talk about your wife that way?

But you found nothing objectionable about someone referring to a man's wife as a blow-up plastic sex toy? You didn't find anything "abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated" or even, dare I say it, hateful toward women?



I'm surprised that you are persisting with this interpretation of Freaka's potshot. Bramle's interpretation strikes me as correct.

Freaka was taking a potshot at the delightful jinju, not at jinju's wife with whom she had no issue. Her point was that jinju seemed so bloody awful, she couldn't imagine that he really had a wife, and that this wife that he was refering to, could only be a blow up doll. Not a big deal for most normal people. Not exactly 'insult of the year.' jinju was being a prat when he started making such a fuss. In fact he loved the excuse to make a fuss. He's a bully and an attention *beep*.

That you prefer to take the side of a well known bully like jinju rather surprises me, actually.


Well put, Big Bird. I think your analysis of this is correct.


Yes, it is. Except for the "surprising" part.


While I rarely agree with The Bobster, he has made some good points here.

And I must ask Bramble, if you don't want The Bobster to reply to you...then why CONTINUE to post in a thread he started?

Are you trying to provoke him?

This post is a perfect example. You insult him AFTER telling him to leave you alone. That's not the actions of someone who really wants someone else to "leave them alone." YOU jumped into a thread started by him, and now YOU are telling him to leave you alone?

Lest anyone think otherwise, I am not a fan of the poster known online as The Bobster. In fact as I said above I rarely agree with him on just about any issue...but fair's fair.

As for what The Bobster said about THIS issue here is my stance. Attacking a poster's family member or friends is crossing a very clear line. Say what you will about me, and I will respond or not as I choose. But attack my family or friends...and off come the gloves. I usually try to be civil...but that is one of the very few issues that I see red when it occurs.


Since I'm the one who started the original misogyny thread (the one that got locked), and since this whole thread is essentially a reaction to my disagreement with the way the mods chose to handle the Freaka/Jinju controversy, and since The Bobster chose to continue to harangue me about it long after I made my final words on the matter known, I think it�s perfectly appropriate for me to post here. He�s the one who was provoking me by starting the thread in the first place ... and by repeating the same asinine statements over and over again, getting louder each time to shout me down. He doesn�t get to control the boards with this belligerent behaviour.

If you�re "no fan" of The Bobster's, I�m surprised you haven�t noticed this pattern in the way he interacts with people. Since you identify yourself as a conservative, you might try a search of the archives to see if he�s pulled this act with any conservatives before ... just to see what you can expect if you happen to cross him some day.

I'm sure you're all very nice people in real life...

But for once, can you guys just agree to disagree without insulting eachother? Can we, as a COMMUNITY, for ONE danged time...just get along?

Please?

Sorry, but it seems that Rodney King has left he building ...

Cool

One of the things I love about being a liberal : we are allowed to argue with each other. And with conservatives.

Wierd thing about that is, we HAVE crossed swords on several occasions, and if I'm not wrong, we have kept the respect for each other so far. That's because we're honestly engaging each other - I admit when I'm wrong and he has admitted also, and we've thanked each other for the education that happened because of it.

What YOU are all about, though, seems to be trying to get people to stop saying things you don't like to hear. I'm just not into that.

Sorry, but, actually no, take it back. I'm not really sorry. You need to be strong enough to hear people say things you don't like.

That's great. Maybe I have him confused with someone else.

Maybe you are confused about a lot of things.
