TER General Board
Try adding a 
or a :P to the proceedings so it won't seem mildly condescending. I was not the only one who thought you were "correcting" and not "informing". I was just the most outspoken one (which I am sure surprises no one by now, given my big mouth 
.
In addition, I only set out to chastise YOU, not "my fellow hobbyists", ducky.
If you were Michelle or Sedona, you are damned right I would be all smiles. If you knew them (or know them...you might be anyone), you would be smiling, too. @¿@
Since you asked (and anyone other than the Doc, you can stop reading now if you want, as this will be a bit long)...the main reason I was so outspoken regarding your post was that on a board where most of the men are at least in their their 30's or higher, and a significant amount of them are married, and we have people talking about genitalia and terminology pretty frequently, I think it is likely that many of the people who responded to that post ARE aware of the difference between the vulva and the vagina (especially if they are "pressed" on the issue), and didn't comment on it for much the same reason that they would ask for a Kleenex when they want a "facial tissue". I think there are plenty of people who wouldn't know all that, sure. However, to start a whole thread about it and specifically call it nitpicking, it LOOKS like nitpicking, and we all get enough of that at work or in our personal lives.
As for aliases, I don't like them because if you weren't using one and were using your real handle (assuming you are a VIP), I could have just PM'd you and not gone into this monologue and bored the rest of our fellow hobbyists to tears with our personal difference of opinion. Also, if I post something that is chastising someone (which I thought you were... and I am sorry if I was mistaken, but again, I wasn't the only one), unless I think the person might be LE, I ALWAYS use my real handle, so they can either PM me or they will at least know more about me (from my posts) and have an idea where I am coming from.
Now, as for "food for thought", let's follow Michelle's advice and taste her cookie!
Peace out, and let's get back to da xex!
Mr. SD
P.S. If you wanna continue this, please just post something asking for my e-mail addy, and I will post it, so we can take this off the board. I don't like squabbling in public, and neither does GND.
P.P.S. What's up, Doc? (ALWAYS wanted to say that to a real doctor...and I can only assume you are one)

I'll say vagina just because vulva sounds worse. Vagina doesn't sound too good to my ear, either mind you. Sometimes when I see a "vulva" and try to match that word with what I see, I wonder if English isn't my second or third language. It's not as bad with vagina, but it's still not easy.
Actually, to match my response to my words I have to resort to slang. "Pussy." Perfect. If you're good to it, it contains a purr. But then I have the same problem trying to match the word "pussy" to a cat.

you of ALL people should appreciate President Clinton!
Also, the book would have been titled "It Takes A Vulva"...singular. :P
I personally think Senator Clinton (smile when you say that, pardner) is hot, no matter how many bad photos people dredge up of her. She has a beautiful smile, nice eyes, is very smart (and forgiving!), and is a MILF in my book. But then again, I thought Joan Allen was hot in "The Candidate".
But then, you know us wacky "L's"!
(I would use the full word, but it might put the post in the political room
