My job certainly effects my real life. I try to to put my best foot forward in all that I do. (As I see, TNT, you also, are
capable of doing so when you choose!)
I personally appreciate NB's post that he is taking off for a month. He is a very established contributor at this board, and I agree that sometimes rumors fly through the boards easily.
What fine lady who has visited with such a great gent would rather wish to wonder if he had taken ill or worse?
What fine lady, who has not visited with him yet, if contacted, would prefer to wonder if his posts had disappeared for a month because he may have been busted, or would choose to easily identify his latest threads and see that he took a month hiatus?
TNT, It seems to me that you joined in this discussion to either 1. be rude, or 2. to enjoy some playful teasing. I commend a lady who can speak her mind, however, I also believe in kindness. I assume from what you have shared, that you do not know the OP either on or off the board. I personally feel you'd do fine in Upstate NY with a lil' finessing. I think we are currently low on red heads...
Since NB is not here to defend his good name and character, I'll gladly do that for him, as I consider him a grand fella!
I imagine he might respond to you calling him a pussy with something such as:
"Not a pussy, but occasionally pussy whipped during moments of weakness when
