Remember in the 1980s, when the Reagan jet needed to land at O'hare airport, but they couldn't because there were two dogs locked in copulation....

The Secret Service shot the dogs.

It was the only way they could get them to stop so that the plane could land.

Re: "Is it okay for gays to use lewd sexually explicit language, but not okay for anyone else?"

Yes, much like court jesters are permitted such behavior. Their importance is hence similar.

Do they use undercover cops to bust smokers?

They do in the UK now.

These gorgeous gals come up to you in pubs [bars if you like] twirling an unlit cigarette asking "You got a light Mac?", to which you on no account reply "No, but I've got a dark brown overcoat", because then you'll be busted.

You have to know the codes. It's all in the codes.

Simon....the above is the kind of rationalization that get's some people into trouble.....see for example Senator Craig.

Ah yes, that most infamous of slippery slopes -- one minute you're asking that people be polite to their hostess, the next minute you're soliciting gay sex in a public bathroom.

When The Exalted says you are over the line, you are over the line.

There's a difference between saying "bullshit" every once in awhile and ever saying "suck my hard throbbing rod of steel bone dry." Please make a note of it, people.

"The data speak for themselves."

Yes, but only for themselves. You would apparently have them speak for more. As you've pointed out (and I've agreed), I've criticized commenters for how they've spoken to Ann. I don't recall criticizing commenters for how they've addressed themselves to other commenters, and certainly not in the context of another commenter blatantly telling lies about them. So you're comparing apples with oranges.

Keep chatting, I'll be back in the morning. ;)

"I seem to recall that on at least one occasion you have scolded your fellow commentors for using rude and offensive language."

My recollection is of scolding (or at least mildly reproaching) other commenters for the way they've addressed themselves to our hostess, but I'd be happy to discuss the matter in relation to a specific comment.

See your comments to titus from Ann's Aug. 3 vlog where you write:

Titus, I think that's pretty disrespectful. Take it down a notch or several.

It's interesting that you would take it upon yourself to advise others on how to behave, especially in light of your current tirade in reaction to dtl. Hmmmmm... what does this behavior remind me of.....saying one thing and doing another.....it's on the tip of my tongue.....Oh shoot.....Oh well, it will probably come to me tomorrow morning.
