Jersey Girl's a friend, she put up with me at a time I was very nasty to her. I hope all is well with her. If she feels to chew on my ass, its there for her.
Rock, honest to god, I'm not stalling. I'm involved with something in real life and I need to make sure it's finished before I can concentrate on board stuff. Helping someone long distance.

Okay, sorry about the wait. Long story, now resolved. We live in hope...
I'm going to use color, it's faster than using the quote feature...bear with me.
Jersey Girl, I was obviously confused. I see moderation edits on my posts just now.
That's because I reported your ass and some nice mod agreed with the report.
I was trying to share something with you, and tried to make light of my seriousness by trying to make a joke based on your first mentioning of the topic.
The mention I made was an on-topic reference to Old Testament requirements in response to the probing questions I was receiving from IHAQ regarding my compliance/non-compliance to scripture. What you wrote on the thread, was a personal remark about me and had not a damn thing to do with topic being discussed.
With your desire to discuss everything and it would seem anything,
You are wrong. I don't discuss everything and anything. There are topics I tend to shy away from. I won't list them here.
and assuming a friendship, I'm surprised that you took such offense. I thought you were joking back, just making light of the seriousness of what I was trying to say to you.
If you said something serious, I failed to notice it. The remark you made was a personal remark made directly to a female poster, Rock. It had nothing to do with the topic. It was offensive to me, off topic and bad form. That is how I saw it and apparently, some nice mod saw it the same way. Keep in mind that the only 2 mods I see active on the board right now are both male. If a male sees it as inappropriate, then you're basically in deep crap.
I assumed tough Jersey Girls had no issues talking drugs, sex and R&R as it were, being able to joke about our age would be nothing. Total fail.
I typically do not involve myself in sex-related topics. If you go back through the Telestial and find a very old thread about the "goddess suite", you will notice that I straight up asked that mention of my screen name on that thread be left out of the mix. I found the entire thread to be in poor taste.
Please tell me what subjects are off limits for you ... was it a feminist issue ... sex related?
You can tell what subjects are off limits for me by those from which I abstain. What do I find objectionable? The topic of my personal life and the body inhabit unless I throw those up on the table for discussion myself.
What upset you so badly about this? Why would variants of the word menstruation said by me be so much worse than period being used by you?
Okay, I'll put a few cards on the table, not all. When I post on a board, I would like people to judge my posts based on content and/or merit, entertainment value (if there is any) because god knows if I can't have fun on this board, I'm not going to post at all.
On this board, I am surrounded by predominantly male posters and some of those are lacking the intellect to deal with the words on the screen and instead or resent the fact that a female poster is calling them on BS (search on cwald's screen name and look at how many passive aggressive swipes he's tried to take at me since I called BS on him) try to shift focus to the poster (in my case) herself. Call it ad hom, if you will.
Is she married? Is she divorced. Does she have kids? How old is she? Will she flirt with me? Where is she from? What's her financial status? If she swears does that mean I can hurl sexual slurs at her? If I harass her via PM's what will she do? (She'll post it on the board and get suspended for it to show the low life dirty crap you're doing behind the scenes.)
Think about Droopy's mention of alcohol and what people do to him. Have you ever seen me defend him? (The answer is hell yes, many times. Because those remarks are intended to hit below the belt and drive him away. )
No one on this board needs to know any particulars about me besides that which I put on the table myself. Let my words and my thoughts undermine me if they will, that's fine with me. But I don't need pieces of information about me (accurate or not) posted on this board that have nothing to do with what I post. Because sure as I'm sitting here, some guy is going to pick up on something and try to use it against me as a substitute forthright discussion. I have a tendency to dig in my heels at times. You already know this. I don't need anyone reaching from the bottom of the barrel hurling age-related, gender-related, sexual-related, stereotype-related crap at me because they can't deal with me being as strident as any other guy on this board. It "F"s up discussion, I have a life, and I don't usually care to take time to beat it down.
Okay, let's look at what the crap you wrote here....
Being 58 myself, with 6 grandchildren, I always assumed we were pretty close in age. I assumed that (based on my wife of 35 years) menopause would be from 38ish to 50 ... thus I suggested you are over 50+
You can suggest til the cows come home. The point is that you have no blessed idea how old I am or what the status of any my body parts is. The day I want any part of my body or it's functioning discussed on this board, I'll damn well slap it up on the table myself.

I've been a poster on this board since before this version of the board. You're interfering in exchanges between two long time friends. Two long time friend that care to hash something out here, so take a hike and take your fragile ego with you.
You telling Rock to let it go. That's hysterical! Excuse me while I go laugh my ass off until my sides ache.

Jersey Girl, it just seems you are snapping at most anything that moves of late. Maybe you are having fun, but I gather others maybe not so much.
I think you way overreacted, and seem to be doing that a lot. But I'm sorry for offending you and feel bad that anything personal is off limits. However I will try and honor that.

That is all I was saying. Her response to my post to you is another good example.

I don't see me "snapping" at anything that moves, Rock. Maybe it felt that way to you, because I reacted strongly to your comments.
If I'm posting, I'm usually having fun. Remember that a moderator took the report and acted on it. So, it's not just about me feeling personally offended. It's about a male moderator seeing it as an inappropriate comment for whatever reason and acting on it.
Anyway, I need to get with the program here and try to do up a reply for IHAQ before I lose the context of the thread entirely. I'm burning daylight over here.

And this is why you are saying it and why you've made at least two swipes at me ever since. You in fact, showed up on this thread to take a swipe at me.
