Firefox Goes To the Bigots

Okcupid also had that lady that made that stupid joke about going to Africa and getting aids.

Sure they fired her but they don't really have high grounds to be standing on if they employ people like that.

In an effort to remain on topic, I have a question for stoned: do you have a reason to be connected with OK Cupid in particular which has in turn fueled your frustration? Otherwise, there are a lot of dating sites out there that are probably equally usable, so why not just relocate to a different site?

Thanks, my friend.
I've done a bunch of dating sites. I did match.com 10 years ago and met a ton of great ladies, um and got laid a lot. I met my ex-wife there. I haven't been doing so well these days. I thought I'd give the cupid a try. I haven't had anyone since my wife left

She wasn't employed by them, she was employed by their parent company, and as you said, they fired her. So it sounds like they have pretty solid ground to stand on to me.

How do you know that?

Nobody has said they don't care. Man you're such an angel, aren't you?

You of course won't, but show me where I attacked anyone's character?

I'm not on your back

Yes you are. I posted pretty much exactly what Janszoon posted, three hours previously. Despite claiming not to like him you let that by and didn't comment. ONE MINUTE after my post you're in there kicking. What is it with you? And you refuse to see that this sort of behaviour constitutes being on someone's back? I didn't direct my comment to you yet you leaped on it the moment it was posted: you probably couldn't type fast enough!

You have been anything but respectful. You've ignored my points, twisted my posts and tried to put your words in my mouth.

unlike you

Show me where I've been disrespectful.

All I did was ask why, I didn't say gee this guy has no idea we should kick him out did I?

Anyway, I have no intention of allowing this thread to be hijacked by our arguement again. I would consider it only polite if you would visit the new thread Vanilla created and respond to the points I made in response to your post, which you were complaining I did not. I have now, and you haven't made any reply.

Other than that, just don't reply to any of my posts that aren't directed at you. It's getting really tiresome.

Stoned, I apologise if I came across as high-and-mighty. I just did not understand why you hadn't the thread moved. Many people do this in an effort to spam and up post counts. It annoys mods and it annoys us. So I have a right to wonder. If you were genuinely unaware you could use that facility then my apologies; I have no desire to make anyone feel unwelcome here, no matter what YorkeDaddy may tell you.

I have absolutely no desire to respond to the rest of your irrational rants, but to this point...I responded over an hour ago. I have no clue what you're talking about or why you're making this statement without even checking that thread.

Can we still make flapjacks

Yeah definitely. I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong. I should have checked back on the thread before making that claim. He's right, I'm wrong. Black and white. My bad.
