*toots*......not long ago it was *dame*.....is that how you refer to women?


Man this thread is heading out of control.....stop the bickering..everyone!

I'm good myst.

I'm banging on that ignore button like a new set of bongo drums.

I'm here to hang out with people that I like; DC, sinkspur, Oceander, aligncare...

The rest won't get to me.

Considering the amount of "credit" to go around on this thread, I seriously doubt you're in any danger of being sent to the corner for whatever you've posted here.

I dunno.  Myst doesn't like me anymore.

I have the distinction of being on "ignore" with more posters than anybody else here.

So you and Luis and DC and truth seeker  and a few others are all I have left.

But, the cream floats to the top, so I'm happy to be dog-paddling up here with you guys.

Never used the term "dame."   And "toots" is not derisive.  Ethel Merman made the term famous with "Toot, Toot, Tootsie Goodbye."  It's not gender-specific.

But, that's all I'll say.  You're itching to kick me off the forum again, and I'm not going to give you the ammunition.

I could have sworn you referred to someone here as a dame not too long ago...my apologies if you didn't.....and I am not *itching* to kick anyone off the forum......just sick to death of the constant bickering I am seeing on a lot of threads....

I wouldn't worry about it, I bet I'm probably on more ignore lists than you are.

Hey, if posters here don't like Luis' reasoned posts, it's their loss.  Same with Oceander.

What's the point of a discussion forum if everybody agrees? 

"Bickering"  (a Cokie Roberts term) is the spice of life.

People can disagree without bickering...bickering always leads to insults which I see in many threads....say what you want on the term *toots* we have names.

You're good at it, toots. 

Somebody clearly got your panties in a wad.

It's a sight to behold!!!!

I have to admit that this is getting really amusing.   :laugh:

Did I say that I agree that the GOP shouldn't have gotten involved in the DD controversy?

Yep.

I did!   Cheers, all!   :beer:

My suggestion:  just let it go.

If things get out of hand, move to the boxing ring.

Heck....most of us here go back to TOS.  "FRiend" is a term of endearment to me.

That's where both owners and virtually all of the mods originate too.

No big deal, I hope!   :beer:

Not a big deal to me.

I just remember TOS well, and how many trolls were there, not to add cogent arguments, but to disrupt.

Sorry if I see a striking parallel to one or two here.

I'm just amused by their hyper-sensitivity after what we all endured at TOS.

(btw, the "toots" is hilarious.  I think it made sink feel like he was cool or something....    :silly: )

No matter, though.  Take care.  Happy New Year.

And amazingly this toots made that comment with my 'panties in a wad.'


This really is amusing.

Haven't had this much fun in a 'debate' for quite a while.   :laugh:

Of COURSE that's not all I said.

I was giving my POV about the abridgement of Phil Robertson's free speech by his firing.


Oh, btw,  my panties are in the same spot as they were when it all began......................toots.........

Now excuse me as I go off to sensitivity training so I don't offend those on this forum with delicate sensibilities on this forum............hehe..................

And Happy New Year to you too.   :patriot:

I'm far from cool.  Cool never crosses my mind.

If you don't like "toots," how about "chica"? 

It's Spanish for "an extremely hot girl".

It really is.

Especially when you know it never gets out of control because of those who run the place.


I've had a smile on my face the entire time.  Nothing like a little verbal fisticuffs to keep you on your toes, eh?
