Nope, sorry. This gay man thinks women can use whatever words they want to describe their bits.

What about folks (of any gender) using it to describe others? They're slightly different cases aren't they?

The man looks at his plate and the sandwich is all soggy and unappealing and he complains to his waitress saying rather nastily "what's this!!??" to which the waitress replies "It's a BLT you SHIT."

The customer, now quite taken aback, says "What?!" the waitress looks back at him and caulmly replies "It's a bacon, lettuce and tomatoe sandwich, you shoulda had it toasted."

I personally won't use it, and if it's being used to degrade a person, I'll probably call it out, if it's being used in a joke like Elderberry did, or like it's being used in this thread, not so much (just like "fag", which I am quite comfortable calling myself, but have no problem going against someone who's using it as an insult - context is key). Of course there's always those Brit's and Australians who seem to think it's okay to use whenever, just because it doesn't have the same insult-power it does here. Rude.

Is it really that hard to not respond to obvious spam, or do you just want to give Mods some sort of incorrectly assumed pleasure at having to delete all the posts in a thread?

Apparently the mods don't have access to a "move thread" function. Why in the world would you need to delete every post in a spam thread? No need to piss on users for shitty forum code.

We do have that access, and use it as needed, but when the posts are responding directly to something not allowed on the board, and have no reference outside that, they go as well. Just like the opposite case where individual posts can be removed from the board if they break the ToS, but the rest of the thread can remain intact.

Multiple posts that are just responding to what someone is shilling - nope. They go bye-bye.

Great joke for when I go over into Illinois.

I'm going to Effingham, to find a restaurant, and order an 'Effingham sandwich"

What do you suspect the waitress will bring me a f'in reuben instead? I'll wager even odds.

Ratty, I love you and all, but kiddo....the true pro with fire in his hair and getting things built no longer needs such archaic tools. Laptops, tablets, Bluetooth, cloud computing, it's all up to date these days.

We did a boring in 2011 under 8 lanes of interstate 70 in downtown St. Louis in a section with reversible lanes in the center, where less than a degree of variance from grade would have popped the boring head out right into I-70, or downwards into a 16Kv electrical conduit. That bore was done LASER GUIDED and came out within 0.01" of planned location, after 345' of boring.
Deviance from grade would have cost us $25,000 for breaking the pavement, more than $50K for hitting the conduit, but we didn't get a dime extra for being right on target.

Though it's still a Missouri state record for accuracy.,,,heh, heh....that shit is priceless.

When you have problems with the annoying spammer that bother you sometimes from the ePlaya, while you don’t have any good idea to do with that, then you may need a flagging the post to help you get rid of such things. Or maybe you own a thread, and you don’t want to be interrupted by other interference from posters with only one post. Then you may need a wack-a-troll, which can work well as a nice assistant. Or if you are trying to avoid of being stalked by others, then you may need to pick up some powerful plonking to help you to get rid of such conditions. Most of them will be provided on the eplaya.burningman.org, there always can be suitable for you or just meet your demand perfectly. For we have been researching and kept improving the quality in this field for decades, all of them can be professionals in the market, you will need them.
