Can I Get A Synopsis Of Last Week's Flame Wars Please?

[matcom]

I was away all week and I need to keep up to day so I know what buttons to push later :D

Thanks

1. "Throw like a girl" is a guaranteed bucket of gasoline...

Ask underpants...

2. LOL! You took the words right out of my mouth.

That was the biggest flame job of the week, as I recall.

7. DAMN! I tell my wife she throws like a girl all the TIME!

and she ALWAYS says, "I AM a girl!"

some 'chick' got all bent out of shape over THAT? :D

8. Read the thread...

...Richardo found the link. Classic DU!

17. I developed an awkward limp from that thread

which from time to time causes my panties to get in a bunch.

:bounce::evilgrin:

24. this might be one of the most stupid things I've seen on this forum

"panties in a bunch" === definitely sexist

Yes I can see how "throws like a girl" can be considered sexist. "Panties in a bunch" is about as sexist as a unisex bathroom. I think some people just look to be offended. OH MY GOD HE REFERRED TO WOMEN'S UNDERPANTS GETTING BUNCHED UP, HE'S A MISOGYNIST!

3. Just the usual

Some guy posted a fluff piece on Nader, five hundred people denounced Nader the Enabler, a few dozen came to his support.

Some guy posted that he supports Israel's right to defend itself from terrorists no matter what methods they use, and immediately got flamed by 100 people denouncing Israel. Ten people, all of whom in the interests of full disclosure said they were Jewish but claimed not to be Zionists, defended Israel.

Some people pointed out new fishiness in the Nick Berg video, and got flamed for being tin foil hat wearing conspiracy wackos.

Just a regular week for DU.

4. And don't use the abbreviation "xstian" because it offends someone.

I think that person may be channeling a certain ex-DU'er who shall remain nameless but like to call people "anti-theist" if they expressed any negative opinion about xstianity.

5. NO you certainly may NOT.... .........oh btw an edit......

....snooze ya lose...ya asshole!:spank:

On edit.....where's Zomboni been lately? :shrug:

[terrya]

6. Somebody said something...

and somebody else was pissed off about it.

Then they both took it to ATA.

There's your drama.

9. Some asshole decided it would be manly to

go after my mother about me via Private Mail.

What a clown. There were no flame wars, just some typical incoherent drunken sputtering about it after the fact in ATA.

10. Is this an appropriate time to point out that women should never

be allowed to run a country?

Glad to see you're back in the fray.

19. I Don't Post Much On Weekends

Too many things to do around the house.

But I'm usually here on weekdays. Except every other Friday, when I'm off from work.

20. Just Hadn't Seen Your Name

I'm only here on weedays too, but i just hadn't seen your name in a while, so you were one of those i thought "Gee i haven't seen so & so in a while."

21. Oh, I've Been Here

I've been spending a lot of time in the gun control battles on the Justice/Public Safety board.
