I reckon Frances could be a good match for MacRua.

:lol:

I thought he and IrishRover were 'an item'. You will make the Rover jealous with that kind of talk.

Hahahaha well, why be COMPLETELY monogamous?

I still consider it an innocent joke, nothing else. And I believe that wit and sarcasm are better weapons to fight unwelcome jokes than calling for political correctness.

I find it low and tasteless. And is it sexist? Yes, surely. But as such it should embarrass the one who posted it – not the target.

Sure it is sexist. I'm the first to admit it but I just can't stand all that negativity of Frances :roll:

ow and I'm not embarrassed by writing it. It was supposed to be a joke but heeeeey

**Tue Jan 30, 2007 3:16 pm**

I just can't stand all that negativity of Frances

It was a bald attempt to turn negative thinking into positive. And as always nobody valued it... You tried at least, Mick!

What a harem - shrew and whiner

No offense taken. But the fact that you are trying to turn the decent dating agency into a harem building is more disturbing...

I wasn't calling for P.Correctness,a walking of the plank, etc. I was simply responding to two menses minded posters, who called me to task for flipping a bitch in response to the Medusa Dating Service crack.If I find redundant jokes about MDS sexist, that doesn't mean I expect such things to stop, cease, and desist.But I'll express my displeasure, It's healthy! Not good to keep it all bottled up, I'm told.

**Tue Jan 30, 2007 3:26 pm**

Calling Medusian "a bitch" is good for your nerves too?

MDA, I think. Agency. It offers equal services to people of all genders, there is no discrimination going on - so what is sexist about it?

Well, as long as you remain utterly clever, witty, charming and...above all....positive.It'll all even out.

I fancy that I'm rather direct, abrasive even, but exclusively negative I'm not.And certain Pollyanna's do manage to get their swings in - at others expense, from time to time.

Shrew, Harpie, Whatever.

Smile Frances and the world smiles with you.

Flipping a bitch, to me....in the context that I wrote it, means losing your composure, freaking out, going from one point to another - quickly.As in driving, flipping a bitch means an abrupt turn-a-round.
The comment was not directed at another, but referenced my own behavior and reactions, when I actually said "Fuck off with your freaking MDS for fucksake.", I believe
All better?

Shane, do you still have my shirt?
