Eggshells, Trimmed, Bird's Nest?

Come on; lighten up, you Puritans. I did my due diligence responding to intellectual issues and questions concerning police certificates and tax forms. Sex and humor are extremely important in relationships, and what's the problem using these forums for entertainment as well as informational exchange.

Because it's icky, tacky, and socially retarded.

If by "retarded" you mean delayed in development, then I beg to differ. If adults can't discuss sex, then who can? Maybe we should just learn about orgasms from the way they're shown in movies. Yeah, immediate exctasy after 2 seconds of love making. No wonder so many people have mistaken expectations and disappointment about sex.

If you simply mean a cheap insult, fine. That's as far as the discussion will go then.

No, I mean socially retarded as in stunted.

I've already explained why...I don't think you need to regard yourself as some modern-age Dr Ruth who's going to open up dialogue so we can all learn the benefits of 'is your pubic hair a bird's nest?' Socially retarded: you don't go up to a bunch of strangers to ask about how they trim their pubic hair.

Socially retarded: you didn't know your audience

And shame on you for trying to turn something completely inappropriate into 'oh we can learn from each other...blah blah blah' this thread is neither informative nor useful for anything other than an apparant bicker fest You wanna go talk pubic hair with your buddies erm, feel free.

Maybe you could all trim each others'

Seriously, who appointed you the queen of moral outrage on the board? Rather than lording over people over what they should and shouldn't be posting, why don't you try being welcoming and friendly. I wasn't trying to stir anything up in posting, and you came down on me like I had posted some kiddie porn pics for all to see. Yeah, I don't have 7000+ posts on here, but I'm not a newbie. I've been posting regularly responding to all kinds of other issues since I joined last month. I've seen people get a bit heated over serious issues like global warming and the like, but you're blowing a gasket over some juvenile post. I didn't say anything about my pubic hair, my fiancee's, or anyone else's, and you and mags decided to make an example of me. Frankly, I think you've exposed your fascist tendencies in crucifying something fairly innocent. And you were the one who mixed my threads. The first two were jokes, the third Savage Love post could have been more serious, but you turned that into your third opportunity to show up the newb. I think you've made your point.

Hey, I'm not speaking for anyone else other than myself.

I'm not telling anyone what to think or what to say about you. You credit me with far too much concern.

I didn't show up the noob. You showed yourself up. Way to go, pubic hair dude.

So you admit the thread was juvenile?

fas·cism (fāsh'ĭz'əm) Pronunciation Key

n.

1. often Fascism

1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.

2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.

I just have to ask....what does expressing one's ick factor regarding some subjects have anything remotely to do with being fascist? Forgive me for asking, since I don't have a Ph.D, but from what I see this has nothing at all to do with the price of tea in China (a metaphor, in case anyone has trouble understanding).

Well I don't have a PhD either. Surely you understand metaphors? Idioms and that sort of thing? Whenever someone says something to me that has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject at hand is what is meant by the saying "what's that got to do with the price of tea in China". Or is that just another southern saying?

What??? Sorry i don't know nothin' about all that fancy book larnin'.

I responded to this in the other post, I also agreed to drop it. I'm not going to argue with them anymore; we've made our peace, but now that you're insulting me for my education, I'll respond to you. The point isn't that someone said "that's gross"; that isn't what happened at all. A couple people jumped all down my throat, called me names (pervert, social retard, etc.), over something quite innocent. "Ick", "TMI": fine, but that's not what happened. You don't have to say "don't do X" to be trying to control how someone acts and behaves, which is exactly what those OPs were doing. That meets the requirements of definition number two: a small number of people trying to control others. This point is elementary.

[KarenCee 3]

*sigh* Good Gawd, I was NOT trying to insult your intelligence or your education (rolls eyes). I am from the South. Sometimes I use expressive language that not a lot of people understand. Got it? Ever heard of Southern Sayings? Well, I use them. Even my husband looks at me sometimes with a blank look because he didn't get it either but he doesn't get offended. As to my definition...I will repeat myself again. No on one here has tried to control you in the literal sense. Did anyone tell you that you are not allowed or permitted to post this kind of stuff? Did anyone tell you that you would be banned from here for doing it? That's controlling. I am very familiar with controlling. Been there, and don't plan on going back. Sounds to me like you've got a very sensitive personality, which there's not a thing wrong with that either.

Now, I should like to extend my apologies to you for whatever I said that horribly offended you. Saints preserve me from eggshell emotions!
