Wow... - [Sharon]
Just so everyone knows, I had no idea that my post would be received from such an incorrect viewpoint. I simply thought it was funny, the way when we get new things that we love, (like a new computer when we haven't had one that works for months, or for some people, a new car), how we just want to savor every moment of the setting it up, or the first drive off the lot. It made me laugh to myself as I was setting up my new computer how happy I was, and it just seemed funny to write that post comparing it to a wedding night. I am SO incredibly saddened by the fact that I am now referred to as a lady only in quotation marks, as though I am not. I actually resent that. If any of the anonymous people actually knew me personally, you would know that I AM a lady. Who knew character judgments could be made because of some plays on words? I guess I am now painfully aware that they can. I'll be sure to watch my words more carefully. I am sorry to have offended people, and am also sorry that anyone feels that I was "asking for" anything. Especially because the phrase "she was asking for it" seems to be thrown around toward women in a lot of different situations. I just thought the post was funny. My mistake.

It was funny, and I think you are charming to listen to on the show. If that's any guide, you are a vibrant, intelligent, and warm person.
Anyone who thinks differently is just a prick.
The Zekester has spoken, and all debate will now end.
Is that guy bothering you? Do you want me to kick his ass for you? :-)
Don't worry about it Sharon, I thought your post was funny and didn't think it was dirty.
And now it's gone...
I like you a lot Matt, nice response. I agree that my comment was in bad taste. The first thing that comes to mind is usually a response that should be kept to myself. Sometimes my filters need to be replaced.
I did think that the entendre and spirit of Sharon's post and I quote
"it never failed to heighten my desire"
"We’re half way there...wait...stop...just let me stand back and look at you"
"I suddenly jump for your buttons...This is it...and I firmly press in..."
was matched by my response.
I enjoyed the panting seductiveness of every elipses she used
I felt each Hard Return at the end of every line
Imagine my joy that at the end of it all she used a colon and not her period
Once again my CAPS LOCK
Your pusillanimous little wanker...

Zeke and fancy Geoff, I love you guys...thank you SO much. : )
It was a great post sharon, laughed my ass off. Don't let a few weird words make you retract your cool and poignant metaphor.
Sharon, I thought your post was hilarious. I'm sure Matthew's a decent fellow, but I think it was the overprotective tone of his reply that stirred things up. Besides, the anonymous comment that got deleted wasn't a shot at you. And I don't think anyone was trying to disrespect you so much as respond to what they may have perceived as misplaced gallantry by Matt. I mean, this is a blog. You can't let stuff like that get to you.
Anyway, you sure sound like a lady. Great laugh. I love all you guys on the show. Keep it up.
I like how smart sounding 'misplaced gallantry' is. Awesome. All I'll say is I'm someone who is quick to defend and/or protect my friends. If that makes me less in someone's eyes, well, I can handle that. Sad that a few people spoiled what was a brilliantly written piece by Sharon. Dorsey is right, Sharon: don't let them get you down.
Matthew,do you have a crush on Sharon? is that it?
Bob (AKA Anonymous), I've definitely had fun playing with you today. However, the day is done and I need to go cook dinner for my wife. This will be my last post in response to Sharon's blog. Thanks for the laughs, Bob.
Wait a minute. I dislike it being assumed that Bob is me. Bob is not me. Matt why did you remove Sharon's post. Her heart was in the right place and your right it was brilliant. It should stay on here.
Next you will be second guessing what response any given post will spawn. Should you post this or that what might that be interpretted as...
I may go in and write something off colour for every other post, will that get those removed.
Have I really spoiled it for everyone...?
I offer a definition, skipping the obvious bodily function reference
ejaculate
...v 1: utter impulsively; "He blurted out the secret"; "He blundered his stupid ideas" [syn: blurt out, blurt, blunder out, blunder]
and so we come, sorry, full circle.
I ejaculated, I blundered. Should have kept up the filters.
My apologizes to you Sharon if my comment was off putting it was not directed at you to be demeaning in any way. I thought it was smart. I'm sorry if it was hurtful.
Your pusillanimous little wanker...
Gordo
Oh the shame...
Matt,
Sorry about the "misplaced gallantry" remark. I know it doesn't rise to the level of calling people "wankers," but I'm just a simple guy with a computer (A Mac G5, though. So that does make me better than everyone else.)
Peace.
Matt didn't remove Sharon's post. Sharon, Matt, Tim, and I all have equal ability to modify the blog.
As for filtering, each poster is free to decide for himself or herself how much they want hanging in the internet breeze. While everyone here is pretty honest, not everyone is as stupid emotionally naked as I am.
Just in case it matters.
e.
OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS...Who knew this would get SOOooo intense?
"Gordononymous," I was not offended by the description of what your disc drive did. My eyebrows went up, sure, but I chuckled.
The reason I, not Matt, removed the post, was due to some other anonymous comments that said to Matt, "Your 'lady' friend was asking for it." I just didn't understand why my post made me somehow less of a lady. When I wrote the post, it really was just humorous to me. I didn't think it would be perceived by anyone as anything more than that.
And please, Bob, don't pick on Matt for trying to be a considerate friend to me. He is a great guy who loves his wife very much. He also has friends he cares about, and I get to be one of them. I believe if he felt Erik needed any kind of defending, he would give it. Being a single lady, God has given me some great brothers in Christ to sometimes provide a little watching out for me. I consider it a blessing.
And thank you Chad and Dorsey for all your encouraging words as well... I LOVE ALL MY "BIG BROTHERS..." : )
Oh BTW, Chad, AMAZING Sleestak pic...
Memories of my elementary school lunchbox.
Ok, I saw this 'Anonymous' posting the name "Gordo". NOTE:THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "GORDON" WHO CALLS INTO THE SHOW.
I'm "Gordon" who calls in...
The need to justify ourselves is overwhelming isn't it?
I wasn't me... You said... I meant... no you misunderstood me... blah, blah, blah,
That is the nature of the internet though. We have to communicate in black and white terms as opposed to living our lives in front of one another.
The discipline of silence is very had to practice online.
I wish you all peace...
Now shut up
A. N. Onymous
You obviously misunderstood.
Why the need to post as "anonymous"?
Come out come out wherever you are......
What? The boys don't want you to play if you can't act like their definition of a lady ?
Amazing.
I'm glad you see the truth that we really are as fucked up as we say we are. And the truth will set me free…
I can be so stupid. And He loves me. I’m weak. I don’t know what to say. The criticism hurts. And He loves me just the way I am. I wanted to be cool and I’m not. I’m trying right now and it doesn’t matter. I’m loved because I’m His kid.
Say what you want. He loves you too. He lives in me and I/We think you, Mr. Anonymous, are not half bad.
I know, I'm crazy.
