      - Do I remember something about this dog barking during sex? - oblique Aug 15, 13:28 5
        
        No, he only barks after a real orgasm by ceregon. - Inigo Aug 15, 13:30 4
        
        Hell, the dog would've been hoarse after that event. -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 13:31
        
        how does the dog know? - groiny Aug 15, 13:31 2
        
        don't know how, but he does it even if he's in a different room -- nm - ceregon Aug 15, 13:34
        
        there are somethings that are better left a mystery -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 13:31

And with that, I'm going home. Feel free to respond, but I won't see it til morning time. -- nm - Jim Aug 15, 13:19 9
- Buncha' drama queens! -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 13:20 8
  - *fights you over the tiara* -- nm - Epiphany Aug 15, 13:21 7

      - Did you just call my head FAT?!! you Twink Chaser!! *accidentally breaks the tiara* - Epiphany Aug 15, 13:25 5

        Oh, btw: LaFayette is in The Help, btw. And Erik is going to be going country boy for Straw Dogs soon. -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 13:37 1
        
        really? I had no idea about LaFayette - I wanted to see The Help - I will now get there faster - Epiphany Aug 15, 13:38
        
        he washes his chest hair with rainfall. -- nm - Diva Aug 15, 13:33

some of the responses below make me wonder. seriously, - tRuMaN Aug 15, 13:16
LIR: I doubt Warren Buffet's taxable income is even a small fraction of what he makes each year. - not2fast Aug 15, 13:15 5
- if he wasnt giving 90% of his wealth to charity at his death, I do wonder what his stance is on the generation skipping taxes - tRuMaN Aug 15, 13:17
- yeah I thought that too - like his asset sheet is like a mile long - Epiphany Aug 15, 13:16
- I'm nowhere near his league and manage to pull in tax free income every year. It's not hard. -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 13:16 2
  - street corner work? - Epiphany Aug 15, 13:17 1
    - :-) If I had to hustle I'd starve. -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 13:18

- heh. - TFox Aug 15, 13:11 1
  - I saw it as Homer. - Mel Profit Aug 15, 13:12
Here it is, for those that seem to have a difficulty remembering. -- (link) - Spawn Aug 15, 13:05 [Backboard] 78
- you don't see how it's impossible to have an actual conversation once someone tells you you're telling them to go fuck themselves? - Reagen Aug 15, 13:12 19
  - [deleted] 17
    - " Rules by Rey Rey" - Epiphany Aug 15, 13:17
    - Because obviously he is the moral compass that ST so badly needs. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 13:17 10

        Jack Dawson, Hypocrisy Slayer - Reagen Aug 15, 13:19 8 1

        Here's the rule then: Everyone can post whatever they want about anything if they're prepared to potentially be cracked on it for it. - Reagen Aug 15, 13:28 6
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        the set of people that includes all people. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 13:36
        
        Today is Blanket Statement Day on ST. - Spawn Aug 15, 13:35
        
        That makes far too much sense. (nm) - musubi Aug 15, 13:31
        
        *links for future use* nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 13:29 1
        
        Now I'm seeing Reagen as the german guy in Die Hard "There are rules for policemen" and Jack as Bruce Wills punching him in the face -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 13:30
    - rule #1:ML is allowed to post whatever he wants about stock movements. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 13:15 4
      - Rule #2, ML is not allowed to post anything else. (nm) - musubi Aug 15, 13:16 2

        Fair nuff, you sonofab. - musubi Aug 15, 13:19
      - [deleted]
  - kid, your face is hacky. - TFox Aug 15, 13:13
- so that is what happened. - tRuMaN Aug 15, 13:11
- So glad we're doing this again. -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 13:10
- Yeah, I see and remember all that. I see a lot of people being pretty darn respectful, even those disagreeing. (nm) - musubi Aug 15, 13:08 55
  - This is a bit, right? - Spawn Aug 15, 13:11 1
    - he is a mets fan, so did you have to ask? - tRuMaN Aug 15, 13:11
  - your feelings are invalid, bube. -- nm - 4 days of amanda jones Aug 15, 13:09 5
    - This is usually the case on TT. - musubi Aug 15, 13:13 4

        MJD said that you eat cheetos in your momma's basement. - musubi Aug 15, 13:29
  - I see a whole bunch of people trying to tell her how she's wrong. And how what she feels is just HER misunderstanding. -- nm - Jim Aug 15, 13:09 46
    - If someone is getting defensive over what really aren't attacks, I think that's at least worth pointing out. Nobody told her to shut up about it. - Dr.Vermin Aug 15, 13:13 3
      - i would actually say "oh, i didn't mean to offend you, i meant ....". i'd still acknowledge that i made someone uncomfortable with my choice of words -- nm - Andie Aug 15, 13:24 2
        
        I think part of the issue was that it was a blanket indictment of ST and not a naming names thing. - TWuG Aug 15, 13:29
        
        a large part of it is that it was several boards before Amy explained what upset her - Reagen Aug 15, 13:26
    - A bunch of people disagreeing with her interpretation is *not* telling her to f**k off. - musubi Aug 15, 13:13 22
      - here was my problem with the Hunting thing (and it's something I know I've debated with groiny and others here before too). - TFox Aug 15, 13:16 18
        
        I agree with the difference. A *lot* of people said the lattter, myself included. - musubi Aug 15, 13:22 1
        
        Me too. Despite... - Dr.Vermin Aug 15, 13:29
        
        (and groiny, i'm not calling you out or anything.) - TFox Aug 15, 13:20 9
        
        np, my deal has always been that I might say some shit that is over the line - groiny Aug 15, 13:23 8
        
        "usually". So sometimes you tell the person to go fuck themselves? -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 13:34 7
        
        Seriously? - Spawn Aug 15, 13:37 2
        
        I'd like some clarification, I suppose - are you including me in the group of people that you think told Amy to go fuck herself? -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 13:38 1
        
        I never brought up the go fuck herself. - Spawn Aug 15, 13:42
        
        Like when he wants to know if it's physically possible, and if he can video tape it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 13:35
        
        1 person in particular, yes. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 13:35 2
        
        seems hard for you to be high and mighty here, then. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 13:36 1
        
        well, the community as a whole, I keep in a certain regard. One that - groiny Aug 15, 13:39
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        well, it would also be nice if its done sincerely and not in a passive aggressive way. :) -- nm - TFox Aug 15, 13:21 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        they're just aggressive-aggressive. - TFox Aug 15, 13:23
        
        Thanks. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 13:19
        
        Thank you...you said that way better than me...but that's exactly what I meant. - Jim Aug 15, 13:18
      - No one had to say "You're right Amy." They could have just said, "Sorry Amy." - Jim Aug 15, 13:14 2
        
        ... and some people had no clue, not one iota of an idea of what the hell was being discussed and what the hell needed to be apologized for. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 13:19 1
        
        (It became more clear in the subsequent boards, but it was not immediately clear) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 13:19
    - What's clear is that ST isn't privy to everything that's going on with regards to this. Is she wrong to be upset? Not about some of it - TWuG Aug 15, 13:11 15
      - Well, that's never what she asked for...but ok. -- nm - Jim Aug 15, 13:13
      - I am sure if it were just posts, it would not have been as big a deal.... - groiny Aug 15, 13:12 8
        
        and as mentioned, we were 100% behind the emails being wrong - Reagen Aug 15, 13:13 7
        
        Yup. Exactly. (nm) - musubi Aug 15, 13:17 6
        
        moose, if you can't see the brush off of what she obviously felt, I can't help you. - groiny Aug 15, 13:27 5
        
        I see what she felt. I also see a lot of people trying to respectfully disagree. - musubi Aug 15, 13:30 4
        
        "TT bent over backwards" -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 13:32 3
        
        To agree with her, no. To respect her, yes. (nm) - musubi Aug 15, 13:37 1
        
        Than I stand by my earlier point. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 13:38
        
        "ST" asshole! nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 13:33
      - But see, that was not even the point. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 13:12 4
        
        I'm asking sincerely and without any malice: What, exactly, was the point. Because what I got from Amy was that - TWuG Aug 15, 13:14 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        but even that interpretation is confusing in light of her response to my post from a few weeks ago -- (link) - znufrii Aug 15, 13:18 [Backboard] 1 1
        
        [deleted]
    - yup, the same people who used to lambast me for my "over the line" posts to loosi - groiny Aug 15, 13:11 2
      - As I've said before if people's feelings are getting hurt, we need to be sensitive, as a group, to that. - Inigo Aug 15, 13:17 1
        
        offs. You're. -- nm - Inigo Aug 15, 13:19
I hate it when mom and dad fight. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Aug 15, 13:04 1
- *doves cry -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 15, 13:07
