Certain Asians give a great hour massage and a HJ for $90-100 including tip. I don't find that to be a waste of money at all. I actually find it to be the best use of my money in "the hobby."

That's funny I thought my post was directed at eye, not anyone else.
It was a joke to him....

Well, that's the thing about this forum. Any member can read your post and express a dissenting opinion. I didn't find your "joke" to be very funny.

And I could care less what you think.

The way that you phrased that means that you care. If you applied some actual logical reasoning and thought about it, you would understand that "I couldn't care less" means that you don't care. And before you start, this is a logical reasoning problem, not a grammar problem. What you said was the exact opposite of what you intended to say.

Not a gramatical mistake. A logical reasoning mistake. I'm replying because you lied.


Interesting that a person who "doesn't give a shit what I type" has replied to my typing a bunch of times.

I don't remember mentioning either of those two's names. Those are two respected and smart individuals.

I was responding to Amish's post.

and come on guys, lets not fight for a few days it's the holiday season. No need to have a dick measuring contest. Albedo would win anyways (he told me himself) Lets all cool down a bit at least for the holidays.

I know I would lose, when you get old it is not the same, LOL

Gentlemen let’s stop trading insults

Insulting Others
Targeting other members for attacks
Disrespecting other members on the site
General rudeness toward other members on the site

I'm a moderate with a right lean. Still around and still in effectively zero risk of being banned for the politics while checking the far right plenty. It's not because of my politics. It's about knowing where the lines are and sticking to coloring inside them.

Hijacking, name-calling, insulting folks and other policy violations are outside the lines and are what get you points or a temp vacation

correct. the politics doesn't matter, the content of the post does.

Would make AG sad if it happened, but I'd be pleased as punch

the political forum was created specifically to move politics and it's sometimes acrimonious discussion out of the national sandbox. says so in a sticky note to this day. the national forum isn't restricted in that way.

this goes all the way back to 2013.


i wouldn't favor banning political discussion in the various regional sandboxes because politics is often local and better discussed by local people that it affects.

it should interest you that this very topic crops up in the political forum from time to time. various posters who would lean liberal/democrat also claim over the years that various other conservative/republican posters are "protected" by the staff.


my political pronouns are "conservative/republican (with some libertarian leanings)" and having been banned 4.5 times i'm pretty sure no political "protection" exists in the political forum or the site in general. the staff is indifferent to it.


i can't speak to the overall political makeup of frequent posters here because i don't read the forum enough to get a feel but i certainly do in the political forum and it's a simple matter of numbers. over time the bulk of frequent posters there trend conservative so when a liberal leaning poster gets banned they feel they are "being targeted" by the staff. not so. plenty of conservative posters like myself, bambino and lustylad have been banned.


in my opinion, and my experience, political leanings one way or the other don't factor in the staff's enforcement of the posting guidelines.
