I've actually lost track of how long this latest ****storm has been
raging; and though frequently entertaining and even occasionally
thought-provoking, it's become unfortunately circular and repetitive
with no new material for a while now.

Let's face it, Whack-a-Mole is fun, but not for two weeks. Clearly
the Moles will always pop up for more; but I should think the Whacker
would eventually tire of the game. (The respective identities of the
whackers and the whackees are, of course, subjective.:-)

So, I'll offer only a quote variously attributed to Albert Einstein
and Ben Franklin (and likely the work of neither) that:

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results."

I respectfully disagree. We've just now seen the introduction
of the "diaper insult". This is brand new material and could
conceivably provide several more days of novel ****storm. ;-)

The question of whether blue and red are really the same color could

Still, you're right, it needs to be said from time to time by someone who
CAN be taken seriously.

Meanwhile, we may dispense with the usual litany of free speech arguments
and simply state as an undeniable fact that life will go on as before.
There will be whackers and the will be whackees. And, while it may be

As recently pointed out to me at some length, this is primarily a
North American group, and "getting the bird" is a North American
expression. Your apparently minimal knowledge of British English slang

The only ones who constantly refer to cocks, asses, homos, nappies,
and practically anything at all to do with ****, are you and
Fortenberry, who also refers to other contributors here as sluts, and
their relatives as cun**. No idea how this reflects on your
particular proclivities, but it certainly does not sound healthy. It
also demonstrates a very serious lack of maturity, basic intelligence,
and respect for other people.

"Bird" is British English slang for a woman.

So dick, why don´t you try selling your diapers to someone else.
