It looks like you must have deleted one of the closing tag boxes There should have been two levels of quoting, so there should have been two [ /quote ] boxes at the end.

Just as long as it isn't sour and not from a mythical breast. Cow or otherwise.

I prefer epic breasts to mythic ones.

I love the cow Pea!! I do have a glass of grape juice close by and I don't think it will be pretty through the nose, but I'm getting close.

This has been an entertaining afternoon. I needed a good laugh, mythical or otherwise.

Ah, but epic can turn mythic depending upon circumstances.

He is so not as bad as this guy.

Not even close.
You must admit that it reads very HoltDaddian, though. Like HoltDad on steroids! Lots of faux concern for fellow posters followed by non-sensical statements designed to inflame.

Not Holtdad, no, but the style of apologetic insults does bring to mind another inflammatory poster from the past.

Wish I could have been here today. We've lost the TVtrips threads from the old Bored, but we have gained this one.

I used the WTF exclamation in an email to some of my quilting friends forgetting for a minute that is was something I would never have written out in the same email to the same audience.

Then had to explain and apoligize.

So that he is tucking tail and running, does that say something about SOX404Guru's ambition or his intelligence?

Obviously, this guy has been wounded at some point about affirmative action and excesses of female liberation rhetoric, but I find it peculiar that his response to that is to want to create his own misguided stereotypes of an entire gender for fun and profit.

With as much stereotypes and ugliness in the world, why create more of that?

Even if this poorly written, admitedly polemic manifesto of hate became a best seller and created an author celebrity, I can't imagine why someone would like to be known as a misogynistic exaggerator. It seems to me, that someone who craves to do that is desperate to get any attention from the opposite sex, even if it is negative attention or "creating enemies" (how ominous sounding!)

His book sounds like the literary equivalent of dipping pigtails in an inkwell or shooting spitwads at his favorite girl in 3rd grade. "See, look at me, wooohooooo, I got your attention, I got your attention, neener neener, look at me."

Truly it is pathetic.

I plan to give this thread a day or so to reach its natural conclusion, and then lock it. The point, in the unlikely event that the book in fact becomes prominent, is to prevent our new buddy from rewriting history by editing his posts. --Bob

So does this mean he's left for good?

Bixby17 wrote:So that he is tucking tail and running, does that say something about SOX404Guru's ambition or his intelligence?

I think he accomplshed his purpose - riled us up, got some free publicity for his book (if there even is one), then left believing he had withstood all comers in the debate.

I strongly disagree with your intention to lock this thread.

If you want to preserve his posts so that they can't be edited, quote what he wrote in your own post. That would be a way of doing it without ending discussion.

If you lock a post, nobody can respond to the post and bump it up to the top ever again. Unless they are a moderator and can unlock the post.

Our board has a long history of not "locking" posts, and I would prefer to keep that our history unless there were dire extreme reasons to lock a post. Reasons I can't even think of.

As someone who has been a moderator of another MB, the best moderation is of the sort that doesn't impose itself on others.
