I disagree. Not sure why. But I do.

"this is an anonymous message board"

Many of us are not as anonymous to each other as you might think.

And out of curiosity, what exactly do you teach? I rarely run into anyone in that profession - if ever - who uses the term 'hose-beast'.

"Someday we'll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me"

Good to know you're picking up your vocab from them, instead of the other way around.

How many threads like this do you plan on starting?

well said DG........

children&art, if you continuously post about sex, don't get huffy when people react the way they do. ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY for your own actions.
People having sex rarely talk about it as much as you do....but then I am an adult.....and something tells me you are not.

children&Art.........do not PM me, I delete them without reading.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and acts like a duck...then it's a DAMN duck.

If you want people here to take you seriously here, stop acting like a horny kid, and quit the ridiculous sex posts....it is so childish. Post intersting posts and people may react differently.

Are you going to post a plea to have this thread deleted, also?

I believe that's how you ended the last argument you started here.

I meant to ask: does your teaching curriculum include a unit on punctuation and the proper use of capitalization?

I am curious about that.

I believe the last thread started with a question "why does everyone hate me" or something like that, and when people tried to give honest feedback, you had the thread deleted.

And as for this being real - well, you can still offend people by the tone you take, still criticize people for their opinions, and still decide how you are going to answer questions and issues raised in various posts. Just because you cannot see the person, does not mean your words and attitude is not felt by those reading your posts.

So, in many aspects, it is very real.

Children and Art,

I also know that folks on this board can be forgiving. So, if you make an attempt to be a little more thoughtful in your posts, it is quite possible that in a month or two that there will be no record to set straight.
