I blame the age-old jocks/nerds feud. I suggest we start a D&D club. I wanna be the cleric.

I think this is more would-be aristocrat v. middle class upstart. But you may be right as well.

My personal take is that Vox's statement earlier about your posture did not need to be taken offensively--yet, I can imagine how it could be some kind of subtle barb in the context of personal dealings that the rest of us are not privy to. We all remember FNB. In that case, I would be as irritated as you are. However, I consider myself friendly with both of you. So, it is hard for me to imagine one scheming at the other in such a way. Is it possible there is a very simple miscommunication underlying all of this? Whatever he did (or didn't do), at least he didn't diagnose you as a sociopath.

Would anyone like a look at my teeth? They are not all perfectly straight.

Did you have them wrecked in the midst of your Anglo phase?

No, it was from not wearing my retainer as often as I should have.

I never needed a retainer. The Chinese are genetically gifted with perfect teeth. That's why people like to use Asian dentists.

Vox does strive to be an internet Freddy Miles. Real life Freddy Miles wouldn't have 20k+ posts on "Teh Styleforvm". But he's pretty entertaining and it's just clothes, ffs. Would be good for this forum if more people communicated like adult men rather than tender little girls.

He wasn't saying "LOL at your bad posture, you f****t". He was commenting on your posture in the context of a discussion about balance and a jacket fit pic that you had just posted.
