Someone was wishing someone a happy birthday. ! I thought it was you.

OMG...I feel all dirty now, I had no clue what goatse was either. I need to wash my eyes with something.

i was wishing lookout123 a happy bday ;)

yeah, thank you kagen for that.


@ ducknuts. I love your signature! It gave me a chuckle. I think if people could read my mind they would hear things that would suprise them too. I think I look all put together 'cept when I have those blond moments. hehe

Sky - its actually a line from one of my fav songs, so I cant take the credit, but its really fitting :p

Yes I know what (who) that is. I also didn't show a picture OR link to him. I wouldn't put that in IOtD........duh. Use your head.
I don't see a common theme to pictures of a church sign, an airplane and a Chinese blast furnace. :eyebrow:

that is the reference you made

Ok. I've read this thread over and over and have made some decisions and drawn some conclusions. But since your posts are uncharacteristically vague, I'll lay out my thoughts which you can either: ignore, correct or respond to.

1. Bruce is very not happy with UT's decision to ban Mari (even temporarily). This is a matter of record.
   
2. Bruce seems to think UT has turned into LJ's henchman.
   
3. Bruce seems to think UT is being judgemental.
   
4. The church reference in this thread is troubling.
   
5. The stallion reference is very troubling.
   
6. Posting UT's pic in the above pics is deeply troubling.
   
7. The goatse reference is unknown to me and I'm not inclined to follow any of the links right now but, based on the follow up comments, I'll guess that I would probably find it downright offensive.
   
8. Bruce is of the opinion that softball "feel-good" responses to Brianna are "enabling" but considers hardball responses to Mari to be unfair and judgemental. Bruce is hereby advised that Brianna deserves all the support she gets because she is brutally honest with herself and does not shield herself from candid replys. One who is not afraid to admit to and confront his or her own frailties requires not bludgeoning but a measure of support. Denial, on the other hand, requires a firmer response. While you might think Mari is "consistently confused," I and others find her to be a serial misrepresentationalist (yes, I just made that word up).
   
9. Bruce may have forgotten that while he is a senior member of this forum, he is still a guest and whatever the circumstances, I still think that if a guest has a problem with the host he should take it up with him in private and not try to publicly challenge and embarrass him.

But, like I said, I could be wrong about all of this given the oblique nature of what I'm responding to.

Very well said Beestie.Id say that was a very astute. I happen to agree with one and two possibly three and overall I like this thread. It seems a friendly roast. A well deserved one too since I have been on the henchmans ( lj) watchlist myself. I like UT. I told him so myself and told him also I didn't appreciate the put downs to my rep by lj. Those offending posts have been deleted. Well most of them. I think this is pretty mild even if it does seem disrespectful. Maybe he has lost some of that respect? Maybe there was a good reason for it.



@ Bruce. You keep asking what is the connection between church,airplane and furnace? I feel like I am failing first grade but there really isn't any past the connection you conspire? I was looking at the goatsi and said, humm I see a common theme here. ( meaning goatsi and not your thread)

The goatsi has one theme and one theme only. I appologize for posting that pic.

Happy Vacation, UT....
Sometimes we all need to back away from things so we can see them from a distance.
And things have been rather pesky as of late. I've backed off a lot myself. This isn't the Cellar I knew years ago. Nothing ever remains the same. A good thing? I reckon we'll see.
Enjoy yourself, Tony. You deserve it.

I'm well aware of that......one word, no link, and a picture of a Chinese blast furnace.
It was a joke, one word joke, no more, no less.....not an attempt to start a Goatse fest.
I apologize, I'm sorry you didn't get it.

Beestie, let's take it to Meta.

you've been seeming a little edgey lately bruce. you havent got your period have you?

did you intentionally make the furnace look like a goatse picture? because that was the impression i got.

Wrong again.
