It's always perturbing when a Slytherin attacks a Hufflepuff. Luckily a Gryffindor is usually nearby. And let's all hope for a sane system created by a Ravenclaw.
Let me guess - still a virgin?

For clarity and the avoidance of doubt, my comment above should in no way be construed or interpreted as a personal attack.
Virginity is something that should be cherished by all and should only be given freely when the time is right.
Now, carry on.

Yes indeed. No offense taken. Actually I just lost my virginity and what do you know, in a few months you're gonna big a big brother!

As a long time lurker and recent member, I think most folks who read this or any other forum for a while can discern the difference between good natured S#!t talking and genuine insults and anger.
And I say that as a long time internet douche....and a sometime outernet douche.

I intend to be the soul of sweet reason on all occasions, but at least I try not to use an online pipe discussion group to vent all the frustrations and rage of a lifetime. People do need to go to the gym, play handball, run, hunt, or debate or whatever, to exorcise their angers. It works better when you actually do something with this unhappiness, provided it's not destructive.
peck is sort of our resident Mort Saul/Richard Pryor, but I understand that his gift of humor isn't mine.

I fully believe, if a certain missing post is the cause of our being admonished, the membership put the two posters right quickly and cleanly. No messy, sucking chest wounds just quick clean head shots.
Efit: I do admit that we should have told teacher and let the mods handle it. No fun there though.
Edit: Efit should read Edit.

Good dialogue folks!

"Most" being the key word here.
So if I understand this correctly, terms of address like douche or scumbag are to be avoided. This is seriously going to reduce my usable online vocabulary.
Those are OK, but only when used a term of endearment.
