I can't actually take credit for it. I'm echoing a post made by a member who then had second thoughts and deleted it.

I so wanna buy that member a drink.

("Member" sounds rude, doesn't it? Or is it just me? I'm getting this terrible mental image..)

Oh, bless him - isn't he precious? And that whole thread started off so terribly well! (No I'm not going to quote it, but since he keeps referencing it, I imagine it's fair game to talk about it...?)

Where's my popcorn?

Oh, I guess you checked the post history. It's just ducky.

Uterus.

Vagina.

Ovulate.

Cervix.

Menopause.

Labia.

Mammaries.

Clitoris.

(There. I have girl-cootied the whole thread. BAHAHAHAAH!!!! SK, if you need to delete this later for public disorderly conduct in your room, I completely understand. But it seemed, er...hysterical...at the time.)

It seems to me that Silver King has the situation well in hand.

I have returned to this forum to post this question. I hadn’t visited or written in this forum for a while because, quite frankly, I was very disappointed in what appeared to be extensive rudeness exhibited by many of the members here.

If I could briefly return to the OP, I'd like to make a simple observation of human behavior.

Coming into a community to tell them that they're rude, collectively or (anonymously) individually, is not a very good way to get them interested in what you have to say. People identify with their communities, and tend to find it difficult to hear them criticized, particularly unspecifically, and especially on home turf.

As a writer, you should consider your audience. Whatever else you did in this posting, you did not do that. The degree to which people in this thread engaged with your anecdote anyway is to their credit.

Pretty sure rooster was just apologizing, again, for being such a bossy newbie. ;)

Whoa. Is it really hot in here, or is it me?
