As I said to Adi (at some point, she had nothing to say)...

Forgive me for not arguing the point to death by repeating myself 100 times without actually gaining anything, like most people round here. I'm not here every day and then I refuse to reread every topic or memorise exactly how many pointless arguments I was in the middle of when I fucked off...

Anyway, I'd just told you that it was all about the context, so don't go quoting my arguments back at me as though you invented them.

There is a right and a wrong, no matter the fucking context.

Far from it, I've been feeling wholly inadequate just lately and I don't need to be somewhere where that's reaffirmed every moment.

Aw...if it makes you feel better, you're not really all that ridiculously short, not compared to some forum goers here.

Your profile pic is suitably erotic and pertinent to the conversation, my friend.  Adi, you can do that, can't you?  :D

And seriously, I'd do you all over my place AND yours.

Surely there's more than one wrong way of spelling it?
