[BurtWorm]

I just hope it won't be too late...

[the Princess]

10. You and me both babe

I think I'm outa here for a while or maybe for good. Seems to me the "small group of people" are the ones telling the rest of us we are being too sexual.

But what the hell do I know. I was having fun.

[DrWeird]

16. Hey now.

Where would we be without people around to protect us from ourselves?

[sniffa]

18. dead

or at Least typing with one hand. :P












(for the record: i don't disagree with the ruLe or the cops breaking up the party.)

[no name no slogan]

5. There's a bandwagon I'll jump on, too.

There's a reason why doors close-- not everybody wants to see what you're doing behind them.

[the Princess]

11. that's just too funny!

LOL

[aden_nak]

8. Skinner = "teh awesome"

[rbnyc]

15. I think it's really too bad...

...that we can't have mature conversations about sex. But, I don't blame Skinner.

[DrWeird]

17. I think it's too bad

that we can't have immature conversations about sex. But, I don't blame Skinner either.

[kick-ass-bob]

20. well, that's in the rules.

That's why you can't have immature conversations.

[rbnyc]

22. LOL

:loveya:

Well, there's always email.

;-)

26. I think you've been pushing Skinners buttons and he and the mods got

sick of it.

What's sad is that you don't realize that a fetish thread is inherently sexual!

Damn!

[kick-ass-bob]

27. I second that.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. Man check out the threads in ATA - its fucked up

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=120x28014
It's disrespectful

very much so:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=120x28070

[DrWeird]

30. Yes, so inherently sexual...

it said in the message, "please, this isn't a sex thread, don't turn it into one."

God damn perverts with their asexual fetishes.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. That disclaimer is bullshit!

And everyone here should know it

[kick-ass-bob]

36. What is a bigger tip off than that?

Especially in this case?

[StopTheMorans]

28. so are you saying that there was absolutely NO thought that the fetish

thread would turn sexual? there's reading between the lines, and then there's intentionally blurring the lines to see what you can get away with...

[prolesunited]

29. And, I for one,

applaud that part of the Lounge that died today. There are other sites that are specifically designed for that type of thing. I'm sure they would be happy to welcome new members there.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

33. Damn Skippy!

[prolesunited]

37. Is that a good thing?

:shrug:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

39. Not if you're a Jif fan

:)

[Donkeyboy75]

34. It's only fair.

Parts of my retinas died today too.

[StopTheMorans]

35. along with many of my cells. i know they'll regenerate, but still

:cry:

[Susang]

38. Part of my stomach and intestines too

The rush to pass through after the sight of some of those threads was enough to trigger a massive systemic chain reaction. I'm not sure I'll ever be normal again. :-(

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

40. Seriously

:puke:

[sniffa]

41. hmmm

i'm gratefuL that a fine young Lounge Lizard tipped me off - apparentLy the Lounge went 2nd grade potty LeveL Last night?

44. I just hope I didn't cross the line or upset anyone.

:scared:

And if I did, my humblest apologies... when I first started coming in the Lounge the tongue in cheek sex threads were allowed to flourish, so... I kind of got the idea that it was okay to joke around that way.

Mea culpa.

[Guaranteed]

Careful, now.

Don't show 'em blood or they'll start the peckin' party.

[JimmyJazz]

45. Thank you, Skinner n/t

[progmom]

46. Yep, thanks.

I'm no prude, but I was getting tired of worrying what I might stumble across when others were in the room.

[DS1]

47. Yeah, and now people are getting stupid in ATA

It's pretty embarrassing

[Guaranteed]

50. Funny as hell, though. nt

[DS1]

59. No, not really

Trying to slip shit under the radar with dictionary definitions of a word that's used almost exclusively in a sexual nature is passive aggressiveness at its finest.

[Guaranteed]

62. Oh, that's not what I was referring to. nt

[terrya]

79. Are you referring to the apologies?

I apologized. The admins and the moderators work hard here. And I do regret making their life difficult if I post things which pushed the envelope, as far as sex threads are concerned.

T

[LoZoccolo]

73. Are you talking about my thread?

I didn't mean it to be that way and if you are, then I'll go change it.

You don't have to say which one it is, but if you are trying to cast mine in this light then I'll be glad to use words that cannot be so cast.

[buddhamama]

61. doesn't help the

Admins workload, either.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

64. Skinner is showing IMMENSE patience

[DS1]

66. Agreed

I'd have been :nuke: ing left and right

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

70. It' be just me and the Magistrate left were I the boss

[BigMcLargehuge]

72. hey now...

someone witty would have to police your dialogue... wink wink

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

80. Oh yeah, of course. Of the Magistrate and I who would get threads locked?

Come to think of it I'd let whoisalhedges stay so I could admonish somebody

[DS1]

74. You, Sir, might be onto something

:7

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

75. Thank you , Sir

"Let's get those Bush bastards!"

[La Lioness Priyanka]

78. dude what about me???

[RandomKoolzip]

92. Oh, that's nice. Turn yr back on yr friends, will ya?!

I guess not even having a sig pic that mentions you by name puts me in the inner circle!


That's fine. Y'know, whatever.

Oh, by the way, I just stumbled upon a huge cache of John Coltrane bootlegs from 1964. Guess you don't want any of those, huh?

[Susang]

96. Don't worry

The Magistrate would eat him for breakfast, with a little left over for a tasty midday snack. He'd learn that soon enough the first time they really disagreed. ;-)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

67. i agree. if i was in charge and this was my place.

i would ban people for being obnoxious to me.

[CO Liberal]

48. And Thank You Everyone...

...for crucifying my wife. Guess it's a good thing we're leaving on vacation tomorrow.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

49. its not personal...we dont know your wife

and why can she accept culpability?

has it crossed your mind that maybe all of us arent wrong?

to say a fetish is not sexual is way ridiculous

[Guaranteed]

53. I don't think she understood what happened last night.

I sure didn't until well after the fact.

I made a comment in sniffa's thread that probably really pissed off the mods. Unfortunately I didn't know the volatility of the situation since I wasn't here last night. I doubt she did either.

[Guaranteed]

68. On the other hand, now that I'm looking closer, maybe she did. nt

[jonnyblitz]

55. self delete

silly comment on second thought :P

[Beware the Beast Man]

51. Didn't Jesus have a foot fetish, too?

:nopity:

[Donkeyboy75]

52. "Crucifying?!?!?!?"

This post should be relocated to

DU Groups: Melodrama

[La Lioness Priyanka]

54. no kidding

[progmom]

58. Yowza

Indeed.
The tag team effect gets really tiresome.

[Texasgal]

65. No kidding!

If it were me, I would be defending myself, and not having my husband on here whining about how we all hurt her feelings!

Fight your own battles Princess!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

71. Or constantly whining in ATA "Why was my wife's post locked" we're adults

supposedly

[Texasgal]

76. And they wonder why

Skinner lost his patience?

Good GRIEF!

Borders on the insane!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

63. It boggles the mind that people could feign innocence when they clearly

push the envelope knowingly and are consistently warned

[DrWeird]

77. It boggles the mind...

that somebody would be so sexually immature that they'd get belligerent over somebody posting about how she's attracted to her husbands feet.

[StopTheMorans]

81. on a privately owned politically oriented message board where the rules

are dictated by the owner? i think not...

[DrWeird]

82. I'm not talking about the rules.

I'm talking about prigs.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

85. Well that's not what we're talking about.

[Pithlet]

86. Anyone want to lay odds

On how many more posts go by before "taliban", or something to that effect, shows up in this thread?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

87. Good call

this is the epitome of melodrama

89. rules are rules. if you break them, you break them. people should own

up to the fact that they broke the rules, or post somewhere else where those rules don't exist. whining adds little to the discourse other than to make people look petty and obsessed IMHO...

[Pithlet]

90. I agree. It's one thing

to disagree with a rule. I don't like every single rule here, and I doubt there are many that do. But, to keep pushing the issue, and see how far you can take it looks like pathetic attention whoring. To me, if a rule bugged me so much that my principles were compromised, then I would just stop going to that site. The internet is too huge and varied, and it's just too easy to find a place to fit in.

[sniffa]

94. there are better ways to whore for attention

btw, did you see my avatar?

:P

[Pithlet]

95. lol

well, there's attention whoring, and then there's attention whoring

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

83. Are you serious?

Honestly

[kick-ass-bob]

84. give up while you're ahead.

oh, too late.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

56. Do you think Skinner is just crazy?

Do you really think that posting in the Lounge constantly about sexual stuff isn't a slap in the face?

[Pithlet]

57. Oh, come on.

No sex threads is not all that difficult to understand. And, the Princess was not the only one flaunting that rule.

I'm not anti-sex thread in general. I just don't think the rule is all that big of a deal, or all that hard to follow.

[bloodyjack]

60. Bah. So she can't make posts about her sex life on a political forum.

It's not like anyone made a martyr of her or anything.

There are PLENTY of other places on the internet where people can speak openly about nonsexual fetishes.

[kick-ass-bob]

69. I can see why you are defending your wife, as I might too, but,

How many times does it take to learn what is allowable and what is not?
She really should know by now.

That is hardly a crucifixion.

[MrScorpio]

93. Ok, OK, OKAY!

I give.

Just keep yer mitts off of my kinky thoughts.

[Skinner]

97. I'm going to lock this.

While I appreciate the sentiment, this is not productive.
