To the Fuckety Fuck Squad -- Congratulations on your success!

208. I have always loved fucking fainting couches and that one is fucking lovely example.

I don't know what the whole profanity controversy is about. Until this thread, I hadn't used use the word "fuck" in many posts, but the OP is a fucking inspiration. And this thread has been so much fun, I just may use it on an ongoing basis.

(I really have always loved fainting couches, though--and the idea of smelling salts, though I have no clue what they smell like. The whole image is so entertaining.)

BTW, when I first saw the posts of newcriminal and the OP, I was tempted to respond with "Welcome back."

It's my working assumption, which, of course, is subject to rebuttal, that posters who tell off the board (or even other posters) in a certain way are rarely newbies.

I tend to suspect that they are banned posters who have re-registered under a different screen name. Or, maybe they are not banned, but have different screen names that they use for what they consider to be their more controversial posts. So, when I see a certain kind of "tell off" and a low post count, I just may check the poster's registration date.

The Op, who hit 627 posts with this thread is the more senior, having registered in 2004. IIRC, newcriminal registered in 2006.

I guess they are just long time lurkers who are seldom motivated to post, yet this subject is what motivated one of their rare posts? Or not. I'm just speculating.
