Unsubscribing from the UK list here in a moment, with an email to UK telling them if they have the list they advertise as 'the' list they should moderate the thing, because being talked down to and being told you are an idiot by the other listmembers... reflects poorly on UK as a whole. To be honest, it really has put a bad taste in my mouth to wear a UK because I sure as hell don't want to be associated with the kind of people that populate that list. Here's the straw that broke MY back...

There was a thread on 'commando' and 'regimental' and 'freeballing' etc. Someone who had previously been talking down to me said going commando originated with WOMEN not MEN. Well, that made no sense to me. I responded:

Women go "commando"? Um... sure, that makes all the sense in the world.

I just got a response, from someone OTHER than the person I was having the discussion with:

Say Lad...(Smakes him up the side of the head)... Who do you think

A GUY!!!...Commando would mean a woman is ready for action.

Give it a name.... Stupidity!!!

Lad, you are showing your IGNORANCE!!!


So, I'm done there. Thanks again mods for keeping that kinda junk off of xmarks.
