The Ban

Oh come, come. It can’t be argued that both were volleying at each other the other day like professional tennis players in top form. We were all captivated. The sponsors wouldn’t have been Fruit Of The Loom, Victoria's Secret, and Lysol, but Ray Ban, Calvin Klein, and Dior Poison.

I know. He's pretty big on Broadway over here.

See, we only knew him as "Wolverine" when he started to sing and dance here. . . so people were all like, "Whoa. . . the guy sings!?"

Are you frakking kidding me? Her range is indisputably one of the best. She can play any role with deft and grace. She can fake a perfect southern accent. Even Bana's, Rush's and Kidman's accent comes through when they fake "American". She was the best QE1, EVER.

Noway hozay. You are way wrong.

What's the "same reason". She is, no doubt, in vogue right now, but that doesn't mean she's not a great actor!

No argument here.

Yep. Another "strong man" that has surprised many Americans with his acting ability. He was on Chelsie Lately (when she was filming her show in Oz) and talked about his early career. Total stud.

I love Rush for a movie that made me love Blanchette: "Elizabeth". His Walsingham gave me goosebumps. Even to this day when he tells the bishops how Elizabeth won the vote, I get chills. He made me believe he was a Machiavellian genius. You're right, he totally owns his characters.

Russell Crowe is a Kiwi.

 

If we are talking range we should say she was the best Bob Dylan in....what was that film again?

 

Nope. I mean her range of characters. Some people like--say--Keanu Reeves can do only one role well. Blanchette can do pretty much any character with aplomb.

I think your giving Keanu Reeves too much credit

 

So, so you quarrel between you and the third will win.
Comes asians with "Sushi" and "sake"

 

Perhaps.

But, he played a pretty damned good Neo.

Either way. You get my drift.

This is one thing that the moderators must remember in this little tête à tête. There is a history, a very volatile history and it doesn't escape me that as soon as gendy comes home, this little black ball of tar comes seething out of the woodwork to try to paint her black again.

You are dishonest The Marquis, and you know it. The mistake you made is not realizing that there are plenty of people here who remember the whole sorid affair as well, apparently more honestly and objectively than you.

Vert isn't trying to compare penii, he's simply trying to right a misconception brought about by the lies being told and the hypocricy being expoused. Invert is right, this ban is a bit on the extreme side considering the history and the baiting The Marquis has always been skilled at when it comes to our lovely twisted mistress Gendanken. Everyone loves to hate the scandalous things and decry them, but they all return like happy little subs ready for everything our brillant dominatrix doles out like candy. But make them bleed without knowing the safeword and the shit hits the fan.

I'm glad the ban was only temporary, and I was glad to see that she had returned. Hopefully the scales will be weighed more fairly in the future if she returns. She breathes life into an otherwise droll and boring scifora. It's always more interesting when she's around, and she's one of the few people you can really say that about.

Is this some kind of in-joke, or do people actually think that this is a valid way of pluralizing "penis?"

Either way, I don't get it.

 

I think this is an important point, and worth some public emphasis whenever a long-standing member is suspended. I'm personally not such an avid follower of Gendy to make the definition without a long review of her posting history, but times like these are salient opportunities for more clearly defining and advancing SciForums now and into the future. It's another opportunity to more clearly draw the line between wit and disdain. Disdain is an ultimately lonely pursuit, and not something this community should long involve itself in entertaining.

 

Is that a fact. Going on the evidence, a crippled cow trying to escape a cleared paddock wouldn't have to expend too much effort to escape your notice.

Actually, you don't.
Appeal to the majority? In this case, the majority are all those who seem to be on quite intimate terms with the "lovely" Gendanken, and not a single one has ever had the story from me. Where does the "objectively" figure in here, Liebling?

Never put much stock in the "and you know it" bit. It usually comes only from those who are desperately trying to insinuate that they do.

I could tell you who has been dishonest. Actually, I think I should point out here that omission can be another form of dishonesty. You wouldn't - don't - even know. Gendanken's (or is it Invert's?) version has about as much relation to actual events as a twnety-twenty match in cricket has to a full blown Test.

There is not a single one of you who knows what went on - you know exactly and only what Gendanken has told you (or perhaps has told Invert, who has told you, who is now trying to tell me...), and accept it all as fact.
All of you steadfastedly refuse to acknowledge that none of you have ever spoken directly and honestly to me about it.
Know what the truth is? I don't hate Gendanken at all - I think I know her motives. I do think she should have been banned for this - and had it happened to you, you'd think much the same. As for it being permanent - heat of the moment. She contributes a lot to these forums... or rather, did. I've yet to see it this time around. A month or two would have sufficed, particularly in view of the fact that she's done it and been banned for it before. Being banned was a necessary admonishment.

Your mob, though... quite another kettle of fish. Courtiers, all clutching their little synopses and vying for attention and favour.

Ever watched Blackadder? Series three, I think. It's a little difficult not to smile when I think of Nursey and Melchard with the Queen.

Oh don't be ridiculous. Hypocrisy is something your mob appear to be on intimately familiar terms with. "Vert" has been trying to compare pene with me from the moment he thought he saw competition. He even seems to lie to himself about it.

I agree, to some extent. Again, if she'd done it to you I'm quite certain you wouldn't be quite so forgiving.

So that is who you were.
I'll be willing to bet you don't even remember what you wrote to me a year or so ago regarding your lovely Gendanken and her pal Invert.

You truly don't, do you? I wish I still had it. Seriously. Love to watch your face when you got caught up in your own two faced bullshit.

That is what makes all of this so interesting. Selective memories. Chinese whispers.

... and the end result. For an idea to take hold in the world, all it takes is a few willing to believe in it. Gendanken, for all that she's not even here, is winning this little stoush quite thoroughly. I'll admit that quite readily; and what's more, I don't even mind all that much. A little bit of anger, sure... but that is far overshadowed by the fascinating display of willful ignorance by humanity in groups.

I suppose it's a little like being present in history when Catholocism and Islam first took root in the world. Somewhere, sometime, something happened. I wonder if the prophets were so amused and disgusted at the display of slave mentality that made them both what they are now.

 

Oh, and in reply to Bells, and the aforementioned Gustav post #44...

Those last two paragraphs are why. In person, I wouldn't see all the background noise. I'd miss all the posturing, the distortion of details, all the fun bits.
I'd also have never found out just how prolific Gendanken has been in her whispers.

It's all value.
See?
