#2 "sand monkeys"

Let's watch our language on Fred's site, Menhadden Grumble7602. No need to be trashy.

We can denigrate without sounding like knuckle-dragging losers. Trailing Wife, for instance, is painfully good at it - perhaps you could read some of her comments for instruction on how to be devastatingly insulting without resorting to low-class epithets (after which, she often offers the insultee(s) tea).

Unless, of course, you were talking about actual simians who live in sand somewhere and read cartoons in English.

#3 Yeah. Just because they live in a cat box is no reason to insult monkeys.

#5 Let's watch our language on Fred's site, Menhadden Grumble7602. No need to be trashy.

And I will 'terminate with prejudice'; something I have already done to your comments - both your current nym and numerous other nyms.

#7 Why to people always have to drag us into the sewer of thought in response? Is it for shock?

#8 Part of it is the "on the internet, know one knows you're a dog" mentality.

And part of it is the poster, who in his last and most recent iteration, went off the deep end.

I suspect we'll see it again, and soon.
