It doesn't offend me at all...I expected it. Whether it is pathetic or not, that's a whole other issue.
Back in the heyday of this board a few years ago, there would OFTEN be things that were posted off topic, and it would spur discussion among people who are all here for a similar reason...but that might have thought processes and sensitivities that would allow them to take in, observe, and comment on things outside of that reason, which would allow them to connect in more than a "faceless transactional mode". I have met a majority of the women I have seen from this forum in this manner, by noticing that there was something about their MIND or their SPIRIT that I found attractive, not just their pictures or their reviews. I have also, unintentionally, met some of the coolest guys on here that way.
Do you live your entire life going by the rules of every forum you are in? Do you ever drive faster than the speed limit, even 1 mph? Do you ever walk outside of a crosswalk? Do you ever break the law ...well, I guess you do, or you wouldn't be here.
Soooo...I guess it is okay, in your mind (since you didn't complain about THEM), to post a thread on here (and these are just examples on the first page of this board) about Paris Hilton, or looking for a golf teacher, or what celebrity we resemble, or if we are happy (which, BTW, is the PERFECT thread for you to read...see below, 6/5, by Laney...and, Laney, boy do I know what you mean), but it is NOT okay to post a thread about an amazing historical discovery that is a tribute to the human spirit and the sensitivity of a young girl (who mentioned the awakening of her womanhood...so there you go, the thread DOES have something to do with sex, just for you!).
Of course, you could have just seen what my thread was about (which I made VERY clear was not about the hobby) and moved on...but NOOOOOOO, it is more important to attack me for bringing something thought provoking (OMG..how dare I!) here. Don't bring us down, MSD!
Gosh...I feel so bad about this.
But not in the way you intended.
Just the thought of her, makes me smile. There are very few people like Laney, and maybe that is what is wrong with the entire planet - we need more Laney's. We refer to her as Zlaney! Why? well, primarily as that is how my speed dial refers to her.
Perspective. sometimes that is what we all need. Priorities.... they always are in a constant state of reprioritization... as the environment around us changes...
This was a very timely reminder that freedom - to just live- is very precious. We all need to consider it.

I will respect your decision to withdraw your post enough to let it drop and not name names, and I will chalk it up to you having a bad morning. In all honesty, I was surprised to see someone as experienced as you post something like that anyway, so peace out.
As Ben Kingley said in "Gandhi", "You'll find there's room enough for all of us".
(1) ya don't haveta read EVERY post, and (2) you could allus see if you can make any mileage with your ATF by faking *sensitivity*, (3) you'll survive life's imperfections long enough, and (4) deletion is GND's job anyway.
Besides the relevance is, how Nazi type stupidity wastes perfectly good talent. So don't be a Nazi.
