I love her husband, did I really destroy his marriage or it meant to be that way by destiny?

I'm interested to hear that the term "batshit crazy" can be used to describe another member without Mr Jellybaby sending one of his fatuous (or do I mean famous?) Scarlet Letters. I do know that describing another poster as "paranoid" does bring down the wrath of the gods - which is odd because I'd rather have thought such a complaint by the poster concerned proves my point rather, but there you are

It clearly depends who posts it - Arsenal is a protected species, like the Blobfish

Quite right too.

What did we ever do to deserve such punishment?

Well said, frequent; on this one I agree with you.

It's all about the karma...

Precisely my point - we've done nothing so there should be no karma to invoke. I was highly amused about 24 hours ago to read one poster who thought that karma meant that, for example, one country would clean up the (assumed) mess created by another country. However we've already had via multiple examples that logic is not one of his strengths. I found his post so amusing I "liked" it twice

As a special treat for you, Matt, I include this hyperlink to an article written by a US Republican party member giving a very, very pessimistic assessment of his party's chances in November, all courtesy of Trump - https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/09/...-be-surprised/ - he definitely regards it as karma although he doesn't use that word

Yes, Republicans are most likely going to get hammered at the polls in a couple months.

How do you see humanity "winning out" against, say, China's surveillance state? https://www.theatlantic.com/internat...llance/552203/

Not really, frequent, I started gagging immediately after reading the initial post by andyrose, so anything goes.

Well, I took some advice and peaked at a few posts. It was, unfortunately, rather boring. I have only two things to note:
1. I only quote when you have been the subject of a quote and the reference is in that quote. If there is any instance where this is not true then I refer you to my note that occasionally I have peaked to see what pure craziness has wrought.
2. I suggest a new definition of batshit crazy: anyone who continues to use "apposite" in the sad need to appear learned.

In the spirit of being helpful, could somebody please educate Paborn that the word is "peeked".

Seriously, a 10yo could get that right.
