Really?
First of all, I am not in the least “worried” about what you think about. If that is the most important thing in your world view to trouble your mind about, go right ahead. In my world it is not. It is worth the 35 seconds it took me to read your post and reply.
If you can so easily ignore someone just because they post something you believe is drivel—not important, not dangerous, not noteworthy, just drivel—then why did you feel compelled to start a new thread about it? It seems it DOES bother you more than that. And since you decided it was worth a new thread on a discussion board, what possible logic do you have for seeming to get upset when I reply? I didn’t yell at you. I didn’t say you were evil for posting your point of view. I simply disagreed—very mildly—with your opinion.
You have your opinion. “Jimmy” has his. I have mine. That’s sort of what a discussion board is about.
And your analogy only works for people who look at ladies as disposable. Some folks do, some don’t. From your OP you seem to scorn the “lady” reference. Words do have meaning, especially when you use them to refer to people. I wonder what word you prefer?

If this bothers you perhaps you should discuss it with the Jimmies. Tell them how much you disdain them and their waste of time and ask them to be more considerate of your time and feelings. Consider asking them to discuss and publicize what's going on in your life so they will have a more worthy topic. I am sure you can work it out. Be sure to report back because this is of universal importance to ECCIE nation.

It isn't a personal thing, if I think of two guys who do this one is a-ok and the other isn't
Thanks for the 35 seconds Old T, times two. Let's take this lame ass thread of mine in that wonderful direction you pushed it by asking which word I would prefer. I frequently
italicize lady for three reasons: the inflection is a funny part of Bill Burr's routine, it adds some slight to the polite use of the word, and it adds some slight to the rude use of the word. For me that works better than glamorizing some thieves by calling 'em courtesans or insulting some straight shooters by calling them whores.
So awl is probably right, just
lady groupies of a sort. I think its cheesy, but I'm sure you'll be happy to know it doesn't bother me that much.
