Actually, the truth is…I’m going to straight camp. Well, at least, ex-gay camp. Which particular sequence of words in and of itself makes my mind boggle.

BTW, we bellydancers love Bollywood since we get tons of our costuming stuff from sari shops.

Leave this crap alone, go watch Neena and Veena!

I’ve decided that you are a total gentleman; to me, you always have been.

That’s extremely kind of you, thank you so much. Coming from someone who, until relatively recently, had read pretty much every post I’d ever submitted on SM during the past year, your opinion also carries a great deal of weight.

There can never be too much badmaashi.

Very true ;) But my concern is that this gives people the wrong idea about me being some kind of “soft target”, especially if they’re relatively new arrivals to the blog.

I am filled with disbelief that this fact might have changed in the month that I’ve been chained to my desk at ye olde start-up and thus, away from these knotty threads.

I haven’t changed at all; if anything, I’ve been even more /restrained than I’ve previously been in such situations. You can go through the various archived posts where I’ve participated and read the evidence for yourself (here’s the most recent example, although there are numerous others).

I think that what you said a few weeks ago is accurate; some people come here as a way to get “attention” because they cannot do so in real-life, and because in the “real world” they can’t find an audience for their bullshit.

We need some standard rules of conduct around here and unfortunately it hasn’t been so lately.

JOAT’s point is well-made; there are already some “rules” in place but these need to be enforced firmly and without exception. I don’t understand what is funny about watching some psycho bunny-boiler loser harass other regular commenters — and enough people here have been on the receiving end of this childish nonsense across multiple threads — unless the person concerned is being kept on purely for the supposed comedy value like MoorNam was, ie. they’re the unsuspecting butt of the joke.

Some very vicious and twisted behaviour has been occuring on SM recently, and you need to exterminate the vermin before your website is poisoned even further.
