"I ain't touching that issue with a fifty foot pole"

[Buddha Dharma]

It seems like people were more willing to give this response when asked a controversial question in the old days, but I still deem it appropriate sometimes.

Do you ever see questions on this forum and say to yourself: nope! I'm not touching it.

An example would be the incest thread for me. What's it for you guys?

Not really the same idea, but I've given up on responding directly to fundamentalists. It's just a waste of everyone's time.

Incest, pedophilia, evolution, gun control, abortion, and @Terese's appalling lack of morals -- those are popular issues I usually ignore. Not always, but usually.

I'd much rather discuss the mystic nature of god and why I so closely resemble him, anyway.

I agree. I haven't entirely sworn off fundies yet, but nowadays I tend to respond to them only if I'm in a mood for it.

The day anyone starts worrying about their online reputation is the day that they should stop posting on the Internet, truth and honesty should flow from one like a ray of sunshine through a clear pane of glass.

I try not to talk seriously about paedo-hebephilia because I'd end on too many ignore and/or hit lists. I also avoid abortion and homosexuality because my opinions are pretty set in stone. It's not worth it.

For a minute there I thought you said "undies".

You may have a point there. Does anyone actually eat haggis by choice?

Out'a the hand,
& into the tummy.
Yummy yum yummy!

And if it stays down,
all the better!

For me, answering questions about fifty foot poles. My twisted sense of humour just offers up double entendres. So sadly I can't reply to your OP.

Oops.

Yup..... There are also some posters, that I will not name, that illicit the same response, no matter the topic they start.

 

[Thief]

topic.....Do Bears Do It in the Woods

and I don't go there

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Yeah, I'm staying out of the incest thread, too. I also tend to ignore fundie and obvious cranks. I don't bother arguing evolution, either.

I can be tempted sometimes to "spit into the wind" in some threads but there are times I just don't have anything to write, weird though that might seem. And sadly, I can go from calm to total rage in a millisecond when it comes to politics. It's a weakness, I know.

Could you too be suffering from low pestosterone?

Nope, he just knows that

You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
