Be Excellent To Each Other

Established figure of speech innit.

Moving on...

Is 'chew his moobs' ok?

Not really. No. You could use that to justify virtually anything.

Yes, this was exactly the reason I felt awkward disagreeing with it, even though I felt quite strongly about what was said - also a few people saying that the poster was ace and excellent after the post was made had me thinking that I was the only person who felt that it was a bit off, but from what others have said afterwards it seems not. Anyway, after reading it about 24 hours later I decided to write my post

Also, is it possible to rip someone's testicles off in a pleasant way

Hmmm... I think that Jasmine symbolically meant that in the sense that if a man had been saying that it is likely that everyone would have jumped at him (and she did say that men and women alike would probably do this), maybe to be seen as 'preying' on people being seen as a masculine trait (?) and if so the testicles, once removed, would calm the person's urges to do such a thing (which I believe is a result of castration). Removal of a breast might not have the same effect...


Hehe.

I'm glad everyones getting this off their chests. If we don't know where we stand on this issue we could really drop the ball.

That's bollocks. Do you think something like this could really make these boards go tits-up?

What, wait. Back up a bit.

Mimi and Godess Jasmine AND Sinister Agent are all girls?

Urrgghhhh.

My eyes, MY EYES!

You and I really ought to go out on a date together... as... friends!

You've seen it. YOU CAN'T UNSEE IT.

Girls on Ventrilo when playing EvE was always amusing.

There's no need to have a bust up, but we do need to tackle this.

As long as we keep abreast of the things that are sent to teste us there's no reason to sack the whole thing off.

If all this talk leads to our forum cocking up and going down at least we'll have some happy mammaries.

That would be a bit of a booboo, but these things should not be left dangling.

In other news, good to have you here Kizzy: since LSav had been blocked by work I'd missed the place.

I hope none of the above has put you off the forum...

No-one's trying to have anyone 'put off' the forum, MrChris, but all the same it was something that I thought was a bit questionable and felt strongly about. I'm sorry if you think that I or anyone else was being overly opinionated about what someone you knew from elsewhere said, but this is what I meant when agreeing with GJ about finding it hard to say something in reply to what I thought was quite a nasty idea simply because other people knew the person posting. I have nothing against Kizzy, having never encountered her before, and didn't mean to cause offense, but I myself found what was being said quite offensive. I would have been far more forthright in saying so if it had been someone that I have known for years on WoS saying it but now your post makes me think I should have held my tongue because people championed the idea with 'you're ace!' which I found, frankly, quite confusing.

I'm surprised you thought she was being entirely serious, to start with.

Secondly, I'm surprised that it was so offensive to you that you were uncontrollably driven to have a go at someone who's just arrived. "Chatting girls up is _easy_, you just pick the ones that are obviously sexually repressed, get them really drunk and then let them know that you're bisexual" is hardly saying that you're getting someone so drunk they don't know what they're doing and then forcing them into something. "Letting them know you're bisexual" is about as passive an approach as I can imagine.

Anyway, I just don’t get the idea of being so judgemental about someone the minute they arrive. Surely you make an effort to be welcoming and then make up your mind whether to like them or not?

Sure, if someone turns up and within a post or two says "I HATE GHEYS AND BLACKS", fine, but not someone making a light hearted comment about lezzing up with repressed closet bisexuals.

That's the trouble with forums, things can quickly snowball when posts are read out of context and without prior knowledge of the people involved. So er, lets just calm down and be excellent to each other. You're all wonderful and I'd let most of you seduce* me.

*Buy me drinks

Yeah, what Zardoz said. Honestly, I've never seen such disgraceful behaviour. Tut tut tut.

Whoa...(!) Firstly, I wasn't 'having a go' at anyone - I was responding to what someone had said - whether that person had 'just arrived' or not had bugger all to do with it. Secondly, I was not 'uncontrollably driven' - I said I waited until the next day to write what I did. Thirdly, is someone is being made 'very very drunk' then the approach is not a passive one if the person being sought out isn't in full control of making decisions.

lastly, I am not being judgemental about someone the minute they arrive - what on earth difference does it make if that's their first or 1000th post? I'm sorry that it was part of someone's opening gambit - but, what? If someone 'well established' had said it then I was OK to find an issue there, but because it was one of someone's opening statements about themselves I am not? I had read one other post by this person and welcomed them in as much as I good - I was glad to have a bit more female company on these forums, but this, I found a bit off, and I said so.

I also kept my post as non-personal as I could make it - I said that I didn't think that it was an acceptable thing for anyone to do - male/female/straight/gay... I wasn't singling anyone out

Sorry, Mr Chris, but I disagree entirely with you on this. I am sorry that I disagree with something that someone you know from elsewhere has said, but that's just the way I feel.

Party on, dude!

We did. And rather topically, she was really quite drunk (er, not that she needed to be, mind). I purposefully avoided drinking too much - in fact I had been prewarned not to get so drunk that I would be useless that night. But more than that, i wouldn't have anyway because I wanted to be able to enjoy the whole of our day and remember everything - and not feel ill afterwards.

My wife is naturally a bit of a flirt, I don't really mind too much as long as she stops if I say it's bothering me (which is rarely). I don't flirt with strangers all that often, in fact I don't really go up and speak to people i don't know often - it's just not really my style.

Fair enough. I respectfully disagree with your disagreement, but let's leave it at a polite and friendly agreement to disagree. I hope we can agree on that?

Pfft. Bisexuality is passé. All the cool kids on the internet are pansexual.

Mimi, next time you want to make a forum account to obscure your gender, try picking something like "FootyJeff". You'll be amazed how much people will cling to a username when assuming things about you.

[mind boggles]

I'm bi-annual.

As Michael Stipe said, "I'm just sexual".


I hope he said it in a Barry White voice.

ahem

"The heat from the fire, has made her legs go red! I'm going to have to rub Savlon on them, before we go to bed!"

I thought an animal would pretty neutral, 'bouncing'? I dunno I wasn't tying to obscure it as much as just not make it obvious, or an issue. maybe I should have gone for something less cutesy. The_Angry_Bee, or something.

The pissed off Polar bear

The Bi-polar Bear?

When I first went to get myself a Hotmail address, all possible combinations of my name were taken. I ended up with "furious_chimp" as an email address.

Nonono. You have to go more extreme.

BeerNDarts for example.

That's exactly the point that Mimi and I are agreeing with Dudley, it's not acceptable to treat genders differently. Sorry if I didn't get that across properly, it's what I was trying to show.

Oh Ok

Stop acting like a bunch of women.

You're just jealous.

Theo?

Malc

I would never have said "I'd cut a tit off", but only because I'd never thought of it.

I will endeavour to use it from now on, because it sounds excellent. Although I may say "rip" instead.

Excellent. I think.

I did.

In a medieval-themed suite in a hotel in Idaho. (Loosely, medieval. Otherwise we'd have had shit-covered floors and no glass in the windows, rather than a jacuzzi and air conditioning.)

Luckily, the big suit of armor was facing the other way, otherwise it might have been slightly off-putting.

"YOU KILLED TED YOU MEDIEVAL DICKWAD!" or something

Dickweed, dude, dickweed.

Yeah, I thought that as well, but one never can tell these days, can one, probably due to things like teh speed of light which seems to be the most important thing in the world ever and I went to a wedding on saturday which was all jolly nice and good.

I also went to a wedding on Saturday...

Oh, where?
