    Yeah, pretty much. It'd be hilarious if he was lurking on this very clarification.

    Yeeeeeeeeeeeah. I don't want to browbeat you or minimize your contribution here, but I gotta express surprise that you posted something like that.

    I'm surprised because you've always struck me as a level-headed and even-tempered guy and because you didn't realize it would inspire other, more awful posts right after yours.

    Last week you temporarily closed the News thread because people were throwing around terms like "idiot" and "chud" and "trash" (lol). I was directly involved (double lol) but I still thought it was a reasonable thing to do.

    But what you and a few others just implied about 8 is much worse than some childish name calling.

    First, because the idea at play here is an old, trashy right-wing smear tactic (eg: the other guy, whose politics are different from mine, is a sexual deviant and moral degenerate).

    Second, because you smeared someone who is, afaik, universally liked, and who also pays out of his own pocket each month to host the forums, long after he decided to stop posting.

    You wanna close another thread, then close this one. And do it permanently because the thread no longer serves a useful purpose.

    I'll admit fault that it was rude and not cool to say that about number8.

    Thanks. Can't speak for anyone else but I appreciate your saying so.

    And tbh, if no one had responded to you I probably woulda raised an eyebrow and kept scrolling but the responses after yours legit bummed me the fuck out and still do.

    Anyway, cheers.

    I have learned a lot from 8. On a great many topics.

    I didn't know that about him still hosting the site, but as far as my own tiny representation of the universe goes, I like number8 a lot and I never meant to imply that he stuck his pecker anywhere it wasn't welcome.

    I wasn't either. It's just that someone that seemed to live a rather um, ... libertine? lifestyle also seemed quick to judge. Granted, this is based on my foggy memories of his posts years ago.

    It is more often sexual repression, not liberation, that leads to ugliness.

    Just so it's not misinterpreted any more than it may have already been - my "king of the feminists" comment was generalized one, and when I said it the person in mind was actually Joss Whedon.

    Shitty timing to post that. It was not meant to be a statement about 8.

    Arya pops up on Instagram from time to time, I think he's doing just fine. Dunno if he posts anywhere these days.

    I love how he hasn't posted here in years, yet he was charismatic enough that even his sexual life still sparks discussion.

    Not at all what this was, dude. Pretty gross for you to characterize it that way.

    Do I need to post this every page? We're in a thread about sexual assault.

    Can we all just step back please?

    I don't think any negativity towards Arya was intended by anyone. He was a well liked member of the forums, and I think this has all just been a big misunderstanding.

    Namaste and shit.

    The world is an incredibly tense and strange place right now.

    I think we are all just a little more uptight than normal. No harm, no foul.

    Except to Skitch. Screw that guy right in his ear.

    I'll think of that later.

    Jeez, Skitch. It's always the "details" with you!

    I think you all fight too much. Can't we all just get along?
    Blog!

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up

    Most of us have known each other for over a decade and are just busting chops.
