Geek, what is it about? Really because someone said bra? Or because they spoke back and argued with you? I think Rich is right. Geek needs a new target. So he picked Fortress because she speaks her mind and is not intimidated by him or others. He also picked some new posters who like to joke around. I don't think anyone needs to be scared of a bra or the odd funny post. As for "swingers"? C'mon. I doubt that applies to anyone here. I think we should all "celebrate the differences." I can't remember where that was said, but it seems spot on.

I would like to personally appeal to all of my friends on all sides of this discussion to move on, consider it all said and give up the opportunity to have the very last word. Please. Well, I just started reading and I missed my first word.

Hey, you never know. :eek: I already asked. MrsStud said "No!" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I believe that it was Fortress who said -in the "dating a swimmer" thread- that people on this forum are friends and we're bound to talk about other things besides swimming. I don't see the problem with that - if you don't like the TOPIC, don't read it/don't comment and move on. We are all adults. I totally understand that this is a SWIMMING site, but the "problem" could certainly be fixed with another section for friends to BS about whatever. If I just talked to my teammates ONLY about swimming, I'd go nuts and I'm sure they would get very annoyed with me.

Sarah-your already nuts :p but I admit I am not much the chatty type at morning practice. By the way, I will not be at the meet this weekend. Im going to the dr. today. I have had shoulder problems and have been trying to block out the pain but this week in the water it just was not working for me. I have a bad feeling my swimming may be done for awhile :-( Good luck at the meet this weekend. Greg

Ok... I am a little crazy.:wiggle: It is kinda hard to strike up a convo at 5am. HA HA. BUT ANYWAYS - I'm so sorry that your shoulder is hurting! :( Done for a while? Did you wrench it bad, or has it just been a slow progression of pain? We will miss you being there! It will be good for you to not swim on Saturday because of your CRAZY lineup (400IM, 200FLY, and the 1650).

As one of the stiffest ultra-conservative on-topic posters around here, I just want to go on record as saying that I only support NSR topics if they promote the views of the ultra-religious right wing.....but ONLY in that case. Newmastersswimmer

When somebody refers to me using profanity, my respect for them is gone as well as the privacy of said conversation. That's just a personal policy I have though...others might have differing opinions. There are so many other ways to express anger with somebody..you know?

A point about not posting enough on meaty topics: I think it is legitimate to want to read swimming related topics. I post some but I prefer to read because I learn more that way. I'm happy to skip over threads I'm not interested in. I guess I see off-topic posts in a thread as sort of equivalent to joining an ongoing conversation and changing the topic. Leslie, I'm curious, did you take Gull's post as an attack on you? I didn't read it that way at all and have been surprised at the reaction.
