look, no one expects oyu to be perfect. But nayone that tells everyone to be nice ahile AT THE SAME TIME calling someone mean and cruel is pretty amusing to me. It's like my old man telling telling me not to smoke as he exhaled some blue marlboro man fumes in my face. So I dont expect you or anyone to be perfect but maybe at least as long as it takes to string a post together you can be consistent?

Stop making it about me. How did Christ respond to the pharisees? Was he Christlike when he called them hypocrites, or when he pointed out their cruelty when they were prepared to stone the adulterer?

Ahh, so Creek is Christlike in calling out your hypocrisy. Point granted.

What? It is about you. It was your post!

OTOH, by your subtle comparison to Christ I see you are either meekly mocking Him or your ego is so far out of control that there is not much point here.

Anyone who would describe Babs as ever having been "incredibly cruel" has either led a charmed life or has a tendency to overshoot by a country mile when describing anything. Best to keep one's verbal powder dry for when it really matters.

Babs can be adroit with the verbal barb (!), but I've never seen her be genuinely cruel to anyone, except to DDD and, as noted above, and no one questions the appropriateness in that case.

Finally, I'm trying to decide if it's cool or lame that a 57 year-old grandpa enjoys, in small doses, the soap opera aspects of an internet message board. Okay, I'll go with lame, but I can't help myself.

How about both. Cool that you even know how to use the internet. Lame that you like the soap opera. In full disclaimer, I like the soap opera as well. But I don't get cool points for understanding how to use the internet.

Babs nearly had me run off the board for posting a funny photo of me in a speedo. She was serious, and misrepresented that photo publicly as me posting a pornographic image on the board (it was a modest speedo, no leopard print banana hammock). Anyhow, I'm just saying I might be inclined to interpret her barbs less kindly than others. As Creekster points out, I need to heed my own advice.

Tell me you DID NOT just bring up the speedo/nude photo issue again. Please, not that again.

How does the guppy respond to the barracuda without becoming a barracuda? (no babs, no robin, no Jesus... so feel free to answer the question)

Will you please tell me more about D&D? Who was your all-time favorite character you got to play?

But it was a modest speedo.

Isn't it the best!!!!

There's no doubt babs was unabashedly cruel to wuap on his first two days, but 1) he so asked for it, and 2) one would think that would be a matter between babs and wuap, not between robin and babs and wuap.

Robin is a self-proclaimed non-traditionalist. Threesomes work for him.

Sorry 1337, I had to steal it. It is priceless, therefore I won't be paying you
