Some of the older knockdown, drag-out online fisticuffs among banned, voluntarily departed or self-curtailed, and still-posting senior members were both cheese and blood-curdling. Some of these old threads can't even be seen anymore.

Just to pick two old themes: urine-drinking and members suing other members. There were many more primeval evils.

Current posters are babes in the miniature woods. The old feuds still cast a fog over the present on the various clothing forums, like Cronus castrating Uranus (castrating Uranus being both a classical reference and a sophomoric play on words...my favorite.)

The current crop seems unable to inflict such severe emotional damage against each other, being generally more Internet savvy and at home with how web forums are different than meeting someone for drinks and conversation.

I have an idea....why don't you grow a little and stop being such an obnoxious little prick. Then you won't have to look for the 36R.

You boys are out of your mind. I would pound that until my kiwis fell off. Then I'd continue pounding as a eunuch, just for sport, even after all sexual enjoyment has evaporated.
