Depends on whether you aggravated the situation by fucking THROWING HER OVER A SOFA in the first place or not. I'm not.

Agreed.

Nah. Haven't been around for a while. I suppose I should be thankful for that. So it seems. Indeed. I have. And if I, a 90 lb girl, could avoid serious injury, any male should certainly be able to do the same.

No. He showed her and everyone else that he wouldn't descend to her level. Unsurprisingly, you miss the point.

Whatever.

And this would be at...?

Please, spare me your inane attempts at condescension. I left of my own accord because I found the board policies contemptible, and several others followed in my footsteps. That you're as much of a twit now as you became at around that time surprises me not at all. I didn't have a problem with you when you were a regular poster. Remember how it was back then? We used to get along. Then you became a mod, and something, it seems, snapped in your brain. You became a preening, self-important jackass. Get over yourself already. You're a nobody, and you probably always will be a nobody, but at least you used to be a likeable nobody. Now you just fucking annoy me. That's not necessarily a place where you want to be.

If that's the reason, and the other admins don't overrule your dumbfuck ass, then I won't be posting here again either. Congratulations, Agent: in that case, you'll have been part of why I left this board twice now, despite a dozen people imploring me to stay, reconsider, or rejoin. Good job.

On this we can agree.

Shut it, Uncle Joe.

You goddamn fucking queers.

Then either address the issue at hand or explain why your tangent is relevant.

Yes. I make a fair amount of money, but even I can't sustain a $50k per day shoe habit.

I imagine it would be to you. If Mike said he was sorry, I think it would have been because you made such an idiotic argument in the first place and he didn't want to denigrate the people you were so inadequately trying to defend. Anyway, it's kind of funny that now you're the one praising him while attacking me... and last I checked, my membership on this board wasn't the point in question.

No, I'd do the same. What I wouldn't do: easily overpower the perpetrator, abuse her, and then brag about it online.

Marney's binge drinking Yes Marney spent too much time at work Yes, and also, she didn't like my work Sexual dissatisfaction Yes Marney's ex left for another man No Marney's ex left for another woman Yes Irreconcilable differences Yes Marney was cheating on her. No Financial problems Yes, since she could buy five pairs of Blahniks in a day Other. (Please specify) Yes, but (no.)

Oh, for... If you can't stop a girl without bruising her, knife or not, you're not a man. Full stop. He did. By not retaliating. See, for some people, their morals are more important than their immediate well-being. No one said it made it "okay."

"I'll shake the braid right out of your hair!"

In Eric's case, I think that was established long ago.

I'll defend whomever I please whenever I please and however I please. Whether Mike himself apologized or not is irrelevant, except to prove that on the score of assuaging your hurt feelings he's a much better person than I am, which is not a point at issue here. Given the bare minimum details you provided, nothing Mike said was out of line. If you wanted to make a better case, well, then, you should have MADE a better case. (Hint: providing more details might have helped.) But you didn't. And then you blamed the inevitable summary judgement on the presumed misogyny of anyone who disagreed with you. It was pathetic. You are pathetic. You predicate your arguments on vaporous hypotheticals which you could have brought up but didn't, and then you claim moral superiority on the basis of something you never even tried to establish or even argue. The necessary and sufficient response to this is: fuck you, and fuck your friends. I suppose people might be a little late to the latter party, though not to the former.

PS. If you do decide to invite him back, I'd suggest you include a sincere apology. I really can't imagine him accepting if you don't.

Which is what makes you an asshole and not a gentleman in the first place. No, it really isn't any of your business.

As long as B.O. Hussein doesn't get in to the White House, I couldn't care less.

Wow, an Eric post to which I have absolutely zero objections.
