I don't know what made me think about it. I was killing time in the S+R forum and it just popped into my head and made me smile.

Are you doing highlights of TMO, Thorn? It upsets me doing that, with the ghosts of TMO past.

No, I was just making that one comment. Yeah, I don't really like it when people go 'God isn't the forum shit now, now that the good people have left and I'm just left reading the sort of shit you lot churn out. God.'
Having said that, I did feel quite heartened to read the six page 'perverts!' thread in S+R which was all about porn, featured a feminist poster getting a severe kicking that made her storm off the boards, and was laced with obnoxious, frivolous misogny throughout and I was nowhere in sight. A standing rebuke to everyone who's claimed that I'm somehow "responsible for [the way] things are now".

My preference would be just after she's puked herself to death in 'Hole' - actually probably starting while she's still going, but definitely finishing after she's passed on, and her body is just a warm pale ragdoll with which I can do as I please. Failing that it'd be as Elizabeth Swan in Pirates of the Carribean, just after she's been fished out the water. It would depend on my mood as to whether I gave her mouth to mouth, during the session - I quite like the idea of resuscitating her at the point of orgasm (mine, obviously).
Oh, and thank you for making me almost spill my drink on my keyboard.

Oh yeah. There I was. I think maybe I was just thinking about how I wasn't really in the 'meat' of that thread; that all the things that I'm normally accused of were being done be other people - pedantry, harshness etc. I say 'people', obviously I just mean kovacs. He was dead right about OJ there, though, and also he was right to insist that 'supposedly' and 'presumably' aren't the same thing at all, just like I was right to insist to Rooster (again) that saying 'anyone' isn't the same as saying 'one or two people that only I know'.

Well, if nothing else, we've proven once again that pedantry is a time-honored tradition and, presumably, the life-blood of the forum; perhaps we should have a full-on category for it? I can see it now: Life, Music, Web, Pedantry. I don't think anyone wouldn't think it's not the best idea ever, supposedly.

I never 'spoke' to Benny the Ball after he made his Anne Diamond + cot 'joke'. I shouldn't think he noticed.
?
I actually did - was thinking about your 'I never interacted with him' and was going to ask if it was because of me making a stupid joke before I'd read your postings, then realising what I did, apologising, deleting, but being too late...
I felt pretty bad about that one and think I tried to over compensate by directly asking you things in threads.
Anyway, for what it's worth, I was and still am really sorry about that.

it's been deleted.
I had several tabs open and replied to a thread with a poor, tasteless comment, and then read another thread about Herbs, and then went back and deleted it, but Herbs had already read the comment.

In six words you have managed to make a post with is either the most monumentally crass TMO has ever seen or the most appallingly cruel. I cannot decide whether you have been so self-obsessed and twisted as to find what you posted funny in some god-awful London-centric way, or whether you genuinely thought it would be amusing to riff on something Herbs obviously found very very distressing, with fucking rightful cause. And something which Benny is obviously fucking gutted about causing.
Whichever is the case it makes you at best shamingly self-centred and at worst a complete fucking c**t. The only excuse you have for that post is to claim a lack of awareness about anything Herbs has posted for the last year and I don't think you can do that, really.
You asked for a link to a joke about something that obviously genuinely upset a member of TMO who is lovely, funny, likeable, genuine, funny and who has shared stuff which actually hurt which is to do with that subject. Which part of any of that did you think was a good idea?

Well I can't speak for london, but I honestly had no idea what 'joke' thorn was talking about, nor when it occured in the many years of tmo's history - I must've been absent that week - and I was tempted to post something along the same lines in order to try and find out, so I think it's a bit OTT to immediately jump to calling london "crass" and "cruel" and god knows what else. What's that old saying, never ascribe to malevolence that which can be explained by incompetence?

I'd have thought that asking for a link to a joke that upset Herbs so much she hasn't spoken to Benny since was a bit, you know, harsh. Specially when the 'joke' was about something so horrible.

I find Louche's overreaction more in keeping with General Chat on Handbag rather than bold, cutting-edge old Teemo.
I could guess at the nature of Benny's initial stab at humour, but I too would have been interested in seeing what the brouhaha was all about. OK, so I wouldn't have been so enthusiastic as to shout "link, link, link!!!" but hey.
Like Missgolightly said, pretty much.

Surely, we should let BtB decide which forumite we never speak to or mention again?
(P.S. Benny, it doesn't have to be London, Louche or even Herbs. It could be a male forite. An American, even. With a beard. You know? Take your time, don't rush this...)
