Jimmy:
Hmmm I think an "oxymoron" is a phrase that is mutually contradictory... like "Holy War" or "Business Ethics" ... but there *is* a term for what you mean, i.e. a phrase in which one word is redundant because it means the same as the other word... errr... come on, someone, help my senile brain to remember the correct term! It's driving me mad(der)!

Jimmy, I am a gay and lesbian activist sorry if that offends you.
I have specialized in sexual and gender identity disorders. I primarily treat women who suffer from Dyspareunia, a sexual disorder that involves pain associated with sexual intercourse.

umbra1, I don't really hate FF I just don't like it here

Certainly, I am not offended nor should you be by my question. I had no idea of such a concept. Your work must be very interesting.

Hmmm no that's not the term... come on, someone, please tell me! I've even phoned my Mum (fount of all wisdom) and asked her, and she couldn't remember either... obviously my senility is catching!

You mean you've got something better than the old 8-barrelled flamer? What is it... a clean singularity 24-barrelled tactical nuke? With drop pods? And blink? hehe

I think it's a tautology. e.g. round circle.

Hugs & kisses to you too.

Since you're a psychologist, perhaps you could tell me about the concept of "projection?"

Nell... wondering what on earth HelloKitty actually is? We Brits are just soooo behind the times... sometimes

posted 06-24-99 07:17 PM ET            

I left MtG a little challenge on a different thread. Lets see how he reacts.

HelloKitty:
Would you like to join Michael and I for a PBEM? It would be four way, Michael will need to bring one of his groupies along, Aceplayer I think is his name. E-Mail me if you interested.

It's not PC to object to someone imposing their attitudes and fetishes in a totally unrelated forum.

BTW Hello Kitty and Rimmer - I don't care one way or the other about someone's race, sex, sexual orientation or fetishes - we are all human beings.

Maybe we could take a poll on it, but I don't think the majority of posters here, or the larger pool of lurkers are into anyone's sociopolitical agenda, sexual fetishes, opinions on national and racial supremacy, etc.

If a newbie asks a question, unless it is ridiculous and rude, they should get an answer without a concluding remark of "spraying the golden urine of knowledge into the mouths of the ignorant."

If you as a new female poster, received an answer that was concluded with a degrading sexist remark, would you be inspired to participate in this forum?

Would you defend someone concluding each of his or her posts with a white supremacist statement? How about something along the lines of k_shane's bigotry and homophobia? (check out his posts and topics in non-SMAC related) So why should someone's "in your mouth" golden shower fetish be cool?

BTW - Rimmer, if you catch this post, I apologize to you for my "fagfetishes.com" remark - that was over the line as well.

I hereby name the game simply:
"SMACMASTERS #1"

In order to play you must qualify by meeting my baseline score of 1300 on Scenario Lal_2286 found at
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Dome/3802/

This will be a four to six player game depending on interest. I propose we abide by standard CMN rules and enlist one of the CMNs to moderate.

Aceplayer is welcome as a reward for all the work he has done on his great site. (Unless, he qualifies, however, he will have to enter as a jr. smacmaster )

Remaining details will be worked out among the contestants.

"Gaian ally" an oxymoron? Is there something in our game that I'm unaware of?

What Hello Kitty means by "turn you around" is that she thinks she's such a great lesbian lover that she would change your sexual orientation from heterosexual to homosexual.

I will now reply to several questions I was too lazy to answer yesterday.

Hello Kitty is marketing HEAVEN that has gained popularity among gay and lesbian groups and is beloved by the Japanese. I have two of these qualities .

My mother is Japanese and has been to tokyo many times. She always brings me back Hello Kitty toys and I have photos of two of the Hello Kitty superstores but I have never been.

I was defending Rimmer and really have no hate for you Michael, but leave the fag comments to the pros. Besides I think he's kind of funny (in a gross kind of way). He probably lives a lonely life and has no sexual outlets.

There was something else I was going to say but I have forgot.

I'm purring

I used to live and work in Japan in '85 and '86. If you take the main road in from the east to Tokyo (from Narita airport, Omiya etc.), there's this HUGE Hello Kitty on Sanrio's building saying "Welcome to Tokyo" - it must be 15 stories high.
I don't remember the names, but there's a bunch of related characters and merchandise - all very cute.

JAM_U_R:
Hey... staunch human allies excepted, of course! But in my solo games, no matter how matey Deirdre seems, and no matter how many lovely gifts I give her, or how long she's been my Pact Sister, she always ends up trying to nuke me. Very green tactic, I always think...

And thanks for the info on the mysterious phrase... although I'm sure you can guess my response, based as it is on my constant ramblings about lightsabres and men called Ewan... (Although that could, of course, be a huge bluff... and maybe I'm really an 86-year-old guy, having a laugh... hehe)

Well I'm more than happy to accept a place in the new game... although I'm very ashamed to admit to my qualifying score in the Lal_2286 scenario... a paltry 1209!!! How on earth did you guys get 1300+?? Mind you, I only played it once, and I've always found it difficult jumping into scenarios that are halfway through a game... I can't really get the feel of what's going on, and am too lazy to check exactly what troops and facilities I've got... I'm not so hopeless when I've started from scratch, honest!

Nell... looking forward to meeting Kitty - and everyone else - on Chiron!

Michael conquered everything. I just did growth and economy. I remind you that you get +100 pt. Rave Queen bonus. Have you thought about doing a Rave Queen faction?

I have not heard from Aceplayer yet.

Rimmer's tag line is over the top. This is a place that has children from 8 and up reading AND POSTING. That tag line itself is enough to get him a 4 year trip to Georgia or Mississippi jail since he KNOWS this forum is read by underaged american citizens. That's the simple truth. It's not free and protected speech. South Park, as a work of art and social commetary, is. Strange, yes?

MtG's problem with Rim's Water Sports allusions are as a parent. Nothing more protective than a Dad on his righteous course protecting his children, other than a Mom. Mine is it seems several levels below his normal style, but we all like to play below our level now and again. But it does opens up such doors for the mentally, emotionally, or self-aware/comfortably challenged to foul threads that otherwise could prove interesting.

Good luck to all of you in your game.

I didn't originally have a problem with Rimmer's tag line the first couple of times. It wasn't in his first several postsm and it seemed like it was done as a flame at first, and I put it in the crude and gross, but kinda funny category. My daughter thought it was just gross, but it's not like she was traumatized, just grossed out and less interested in prowling the forum.

For a 12 year old daughter of a southern boy, she's pretty hip, and a lot of the cool restaurants in San Diego, not to mention the best dessert place in town (Karen Krasne's Extraordinary Desserts - 2929 Fifth Avenue if anyone's ever here) are right near and around Hillcrest, which is the gay area of SD. Some of the regulars we hang out with at these restarants and at ED are gay, and everybody is into food, dessert, conversation and life in general, not political agendas or whatever.

My only problem with Rimmer's tag line was when it became the standard feature of every post he made, and cropped up all over the place. We all lower our level on occasion, just hopefully not too far, or too continuously. You and I had a minor disagreement with Xenoman/MiKaeLe's posting the porn pic in off-topic - both of us agreeing that the pic should go, but disagreeing in his being banned from future posts. I don't like to see people banned, or to see EA or someone decide to pull the plug if the forum doesn't generate positive publicity for them and the game, which is their entire intent.

What's wild, is that he's the manager for the operations department of my town's Electrical Company (highly mannered, well spoken, well dressed, very knowledgable EE), and she's the manager of Chrysler's local auto manufactoring plant. You would never think Redneck... unless you've seen their house. Wild wild wild...

But aside from that, Tennessee got slapped down for trying. Miss and Georgia haven't. Theirs have held up so far, so its probably all in what you prosecute, and who is related to you in DC.
