    Just when we were congratulating ourselves on our maturity and refreshing lack of moderation...

    Exactly.

    I am horrified and repulsed by the disrespect of Chopper's comments. This is a civil place, with respectful discourse, regardless of one's sexual orientation.

    Please take these comments down ASAP. There is no room in this forum for such language.

    You have painted a better picture of yourself than I could ever do in a thousand years.

    I have no problem with my entire post being pulled, as it contains the offensive post.

    I suspect this is simply Chopper's way of asking for a date....

    Oh dear... I have always wondered about the tiny minority of "straight" men who seem obsessed with their own ideas & imaginings of the sexual practices of others... Creeeeeeepy.

    [Moderator hat on]

    Original posts #446, 448 and 450 above can be considered hate speech and are completely inappropriate on this forum. These comments are being removed immediately, and anyone posting hate speech will be banned.

    I am also deleting the offensive text from other posts where it was quoted directly

    For the record, this act of moderation was discussed and agreed upon by members of the moderation team. It is not a one-sided action on my part.

    Thank you.... Nice hat!

    Back to May Daily Peeve...

    <sigh> recovering from surgery during the most GORGEOUS spring in Seattle! Of course, I'd probably be crankier if I was recovering in the drear of winter... still, it's hard to not overdo it in the garden.

    Back to the daily peeve?
    Or should we start a new thread?
    I had the last of my replacement windows installed last week and the one for the garage didn't fit so now I have a large half sheet of plywood screwed into the window frame and will wait for 3 weeks for the new one to be made. It was properly measured by the contractor but incorrectly ordered. What a nuisance!
    How would you handle this situation?

    I phoned the company and was advised by the owner that the window will be installed on Friday afternoon so my peeve is null and void, it seems. How does one undo a peeve?
