The number of recalcitrant donkeys online are amazing. Even after
showing them proof, they insist to the contrary.

lol.

my problem has been how explicit should i be. You see, i refuse to be
too explicit. Like, a chick needn't need to pop her tits out in order
to solicit intercourse. And if the guy still don't get it, the chick
might as well change her mind.

so, at this point, my self-struggle is whether i should define,
EXPLICITLY, a fact we are debating, then, cite references, and insert
many examples EXPLICITLY in the post.

should i??

you see, even if we went to this trouble, agreement still may not
come. Judging from past experience with tech geekers... the problem
than becomes one of interpretation or philosophy. They say, o but
that's not what i meant. Or, change of subject, like, “but there's no
alternative”, or, “but you are just a troll”.

I LOL.
