I still have high hopes of my son hooking up with Steph. She’s really something special.

FM – great points.

Maggie – like Dutch – I have said some stupid things off the cuff B 4. “Sticks & stones” & all that.

Misogyny (like shit) happens, I guess. Is so ironic on this post.

“Ironic” – on this post, I mean. I would have expected it more on the “pussification” post. Would have anybody given a shit then? Just curious…

Montefrío says:
“@Dutchman: You, sir, are an asshole pure and simple. Your last comment is beneath contempt.”

Pffft! It looks like some people here are feeling “microaggressed”. Isn’t that special! A MICROAGGRESSSION!!!??? Run for your lives!

You have no idea about contemptible comments on TBP. Not saying I agree with the comment that was made but you either believe in free speech or you don’t. Perhaps his words will make Dutchman a pariah. Perhaps not. Perhaps it was said in jest. Perhaps not.

llpoh is right, Clammy can take care of herself. Even the name “Clammy” I use for her now as a term of endearment started out as something rather derogatory.

“Don’t let the door…”

Indeed! It’s the best medicine for closed minds!

TBP has a way of sorting the wheat from the chaff. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

You are right IS but it doesn’t hurt to hurl a few insults.

Not sure what prompted that ill-conceived comment by Dutchman to Stephanie Shepard, but I’ll write it off to a major brain fart.

When Stephanie first appeared on TBP, her screen name was Calamity Jane. She got the Calamity part right. Easily one of the biggest and nastiest shitfests in TBP history, and she was in the center of the storm and the recipient of some very explicit sexual insults and abusive language. It went on for weeks, but she gave as good as she got and could be quite potty-mouthed about it. Eventually, her critics backed off, and so did she.

I know of no long-term regular here, male or female, who went through what she did. Well, maybe I did. That fuckstick flash once called me a booger-eating spook. Can you imagine the pain that caused me? Heh.

SSS -Booger eating? Ouch! R U OK? I’m sorry but even if I WERE racist towards the green bastard Booger eaters, I’d still never say it to their face you know? I am NOT a racist like that! There are some Mexican people that I really do sort of like. I just want Monetfrio & Dutch to be OK. Can’t we all just get along? This is my solemn prayer tonight…

@ Francis Marion and Jfish

I’m a retired CIA officer aka spook (yes, I was undercover for 19 years). Flash and I have had our differences, and he came up with “booger-eating spook” during an exchange of personal insults. I thought it was really funny. Still do.

I have owned a couple different businesses. My last one was a small gas pipeline construction company. I averaged 45 employees year round at times twice that many. I sold that 7 day a week headache and put back a nice sum. Went on an extended vacation and went back to school. At this time I’m looking to start another business and investing in Oil stocks. It’s eating up my time so I’m posting less. No shit people, oil is going to mark in the 20 dollar range, biggest buying opportunity in years, but where? At the wellhead, midstream, downstream, service? Hell I don’t know yet but I want in. I have some money but I’m not rich, in other words I need to win, won’t gamble my nest egg unless I’m comfortable with the odds.

I’m totally shocked Westcoaster has a business. I pegged him for a Medicaid Welfare recipient. Hell dude I might could use your service’s. I pay hookers to suck my dick I don’t see any difference paying a liberal to drive traffic to my website. Yes, I have a website, yes it makes money. No I won’t give it away here. Actually I have plenty of traffic, but you never have enough, I have thought about advertising on TBP. But, TBP attracts old fucks, burned out, use ta have a dick type individuals. Well all be damned…. Westcoaster actually works…….who would of thunk it. Glad I did not miss this thread!

Steph can indeed take care of herself… and IS is correct about contemptible comments (and commenters).

And, for the most part, during my time in the pond with the “big dogs” here (am not afraid of big dogs, having two Great Pyrenese myself and friends with Mastiffs) it is true that the insults usually fade as the people come to realize that they really aren’t fucking funny. I have mistakenly assumed that sarcasm here was mean and also, have mistakenly assumed that vitriol was sarcasm. I’ve waded through.

However, if Left a Comment is still lurking, I do want you to know I was NOT aiming that lameass comment at YOU and I hope you return to posting comments. One of the things I’ve come to admire about this platform that is on fire, is that in spite of the attempts by some to be gatekeepers and others to be hall monitors, there is only one way to be silenced here and that is to piss of Admin and refuse to back off from your idiocy. And in doing so, it rallies the TBP faithful SFMs like no other cause. Right old Finnegan’s Wake?

But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for additional monkeys.

I had my own editing business for a couple of years that worked out well. The spare bedroom became my office, giving us a tax write off for a portion of the square footage of the room. While I was still around the college at OU, I had plenty of work helping rich kids with their term papers and professors with their books and projects. However, once I started working for the big gubment contractors, I was no longer in contact with anyone who cared whether their writing made sense or was correctly spelled.

Finnegan’s Wake. haha. I forgot about that guy. At first I was thinking of the book. I wonder if I can search that name to find that thread. It was pretty good. Anyone off the top of their heads remember that one.

Don’t pick on Finnegan, remember, he’s in the process of exposing Admin and destroying the visitor counts on the site.

Oh yeah I remember now. One of those 30 Blocks of Squalor takedowns that had poor ole finnegan all butt hurt. I jumped on that dog pile along with a whole lot of others. He was supposed to get back to us on his exposé.

I still rattle Robert S. Finnegan’s cage every once in awhile seeking part two of the Shock Jock take down article against admin. I’m still waiting for his cadre of goons and fellow Marines to show up and break my legs for me. Maybe for Christmas? He claimed he had my IP address so it would be easy to find me. I did notice he took down the important parts of the bullshit story I caught him lying about here on TBP. I think he got his journalism degree from a box of Cracker Jack or perhaps K-Mart on a blue light special.

Admin pulled the original post where we fried his ass here on TBP. Good times!

@llpoh… I try to tread carefully most of the time these days. I don’t mind a fight when it is necessary, but why waste ammo when the real war is still looming.
