[quote=barnaby33]Well so much for a thread about my company and its trend bucking hiring…[/quote]

Are you kidding? We’ve kept this thread at or near the top of the active forum topics list since you posted it.

[quote=gandalf]… and sift through matching pages with vim.[/quote]

Vim?!?!?!

And you name yourself after a wizard? Everybody knows that real wizards use emacs like God and rms intended.

I read Piggington with Lynx.[/quote]

Lynx does a lousy job with three column sites like this one (I tried). Try elinks instead–it handles tables and frames fairly gracefully for a textmode browser.

You come back in the wee hours on a weeknight to say … what, exactly?

I suppose the post is relevant in the context of your recommendation to seek out a nice subservient Mexican girl, but even that’s quite a reach.

QED

———–

Hey, nice action figure! There’s one for only $39.99 + shipping right here.

Again, quotes will do. Otherwise, I’ll have to assume that this is just sophistry on your part and you are incapable of supporting your argument with facts.[/quote]

Sophistry?

I do not think it means what you think it means.
—Inigo Montoya

If you want a quote, please direct us to the post you wrote about women as something other than objects of amusement, utility, or conquest. Unsupported assertions about how you “like”, nay “love”, women don’t count, and we’re not talking about friends or family.

I don’t need to provide anything: your record speaks for itself. It would be more fun to debate if I had any confidence that you’d do more than simplemindedly parse out of recognition everything you didn’t misread.

[quote=davelj]
I don’t disapprove. I’m just noting the inherent humor in providing the counsel that one should, “Marry immediately… but have a mature mistress.”[/quote]

Franklin may have done that, but that’s not what his letter says. He actually says “Marry immediately … but if you won’t, a mature mistress is better than a younger one.”

[quote]I’ve never suggested that “hot” was incompatible with mature (in fact I’ve noted the opposite can be the case), although that is GENERALLY the case (this applies to males of the species as well).[/quote]

You are entitled to your opinion. But, to butcher Forrest Gump, “hot is as hot does”.

[quote]A misogynist is “one who hates women” (courtesy of Dictionary.com).[/quote]

Please don’t cherry pick definitions to suit your argument, lest folks start grumbling about hoists and petards. From your source:

—————
mi⋅sog⋅y⋅ny [mi-soj-uh-nee, mahy-]

-noun
hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women
—————

Your mistrust and deep seated dislike of women is manifest in your entire approach to the subject at hand.

I’m not moralizing, just pointing out the obvious. There’s nothing wrong with consensual relations between people who treat each other as pleasure appliances.

[quote]I rather like women. Some I’ve even loved. What exactly – and please be precise (that is, use quotes) – have I written anywhere in the pages of Piggington that suggests that I hate women. This should be interesting…[/quote]

Sometimes you’re not the smartest guy in the room. Save the condescension for “hot” chicks without much else to recommend them–maybe they’ll be impressed with your “confidence”.
