Well if there is anything I've learned...its the principle of escalation. There are two areas where this principle is extremely valid...arguments...and sexual harrassment.Innuendo and flirtation almost always escalates, and that's what happened here. You can't protect yoursel by saying..."Okay...I have this imaginary line of comfort that all other parties, regardless of their age or maturity, should know about....Whoops....you just crossed it."
What kind of rule is that...really?
The only way to fix the problem is to prevent it...and you prevent it by not participating in it....because if you don't participate in it you haven't extended an invitation for something potentially offensive.
Here Here Todd...Well spoken...nice post. 😎

Or not...I'm married, educated, and a bit tired of JP acting like everyone else has to behave the way she thinks they should...its not like the comment came out of nowhere...it was an escalation of events.
another worthwhile post, I beleive I also had this conversation with JP awile back about her inability to be consistent with how one posts as to which is favorable and which is not... I Oh yes now I remember it was the week another member got all bent because of what was said to her. I agree TLB...again all fact my boy.
this ongoing problem has a core:
its just some stupid corney one-sided forum war which needs to be put to bed.
they are just message boards people. you type things, people read what you type, and they type back. if you find it as a social center worthy of some type of quasi-nationalism and insult others over it, you need to reassess your priorities, maybe find a hobby, get a second job, or even volunteer your time to a homeless shelter...something....anything beats this "OUR FORUM ROCKS!!!! AND YOURS SUCKS!!!!!" nonsense 😬
thats all i have to say about that.
now, somebody get me a stiff drink.
