Xneverwherex, he just torched your ass, bitch. He just torched it.

The use of bitch there is a bit much. Just sayin'

Well, I thank you for bringing your concern to my attention. If there's anything we pride ourselves on here at Certified WEBLEBRITY, LLC, it's sensitivity to our constituents feelings. Allow me to assure you, our use of the colloquialism "bitch" was not intended as an insult to the women of this board, as xneverwherex is not a female to the best of my knowledge. Rather, we were using "bitch" in the way Tina Fey used it to designated a "smart, sassy woman who gets things done." And, again, while xneverwherex is not a female (to the best of my knowledge), their insipid posting of out-of-town shows virtually no one cares about encapsulates that zeitgeist of bitchy insouciance that defines the modern "bitch."

So again to clarify, and in summation, I am pro-women and anyone who wants to classify being likened to a woman as a negative comparison is the real sexist. And we have no place for such small-minded hate speech on this board.

and again - please point out ON THE CORRECT THREAD - about my insipid posting of out of town shows. as i said again - the correct thread. the thread we are in now is NOT the correct thread. this is called 'this week rollcall'. this is what I AM SEEING this week! what do you care about who/what i see. last i checked most people see bands in places other than DC.

and please - do not point out things like the faint - this included DC dates. ill start you out 'rob dickinson of the catherine wheel' at mercury lounge. now you show me all the other ones, because honestly, id like to see them all. i dont have time for this - but apparently all of you have way too much time on your hands. or you do not know how to read and have not yet figured out this is not titled 'just announced'!

and for the record - I AM A FEMALE! and i take offense to being called a bitch.

Yeah, you better back track. She would've tore your pasty ass a new one had this Battle Royale went physical.

But seriously, I must ask MissP: people call you "pink taco" on here all the time and you seem, not only not offended, but to revel in said title, yet it's clearly an overwhelmingly degrading term for a woman. But "bitch", which is so watered down in this day and age, and rarely, if ever, used for the objectification of your gender at this point, is offensive to you. How do you rectify those two positions?

Then for the record I apologize. I did not know you were a female, and I was not intending the word to be used as a slur for women, but rather the more generalized watered-down insult most people use the word as at current. (Similarly, if someone calls another person a "bastard," 99% of the time, they are not making implications about the person's parent's marital status at the time of conception.) Had I known you were female, I would not have used it.

Also, further for the record, I have been completely taking the piss in this thread today, and nothing I've said – with the exception of this post, and the second half of my last post – was at all intended to be taken as anything more then internet jocularity.

i'm not typically called a 'pink taco' on the board except by like one person and its a joke that stemmed from a username I MADE FOR MYSELF.

well jaron, it is different because YOU CALLED A WOMAN A BITCH IN DEROGATORY MANNER. and someone who is very obviously a woman on this board. how you can say you didn't know is unknown to me. you weren't saying someone was being 'bitchy'… you actually called a woman a bitch. which is wherein i find the problem.

but if you stand by the fact that you did not know she was a woman, whatever.

How am I supposed to know who are male and female on a messageboard? Unless someone has "Miss" in their username, or I know them personally, or their username has their actual name in it, I have no clue what gender people are. I guess I missed the day we all posted headshots on here. Of the regulars, I can only think of yourself, Bags, Celeste, and Jaguar who I know are female off the top of my head. I honestly always thought xneverwherex was a guy. I have no real reason for believing that, except I guess I assume most people on internet messageboards are male, right or wrong.

Additionally, I have no problem with their posting NYC shows. I can't say I ever noticed. I just thought it was hilarious someone went out of their way to call someone else out on it, when it was clearly going to start drama. Additionally additionally, my line was stolen from Family Guy, and if I remember the episode correctly, the baby said it to the dog, who was male.

I was clearly joking to begin with, and I apologized when I found offense was taken because they are, in fact, female. What more do you want? I think you've been around long enough to know if I actually had a problem with xneverwherex and meant it to be offensive that I'm not the type of person to do an about face because it ruffled 2-3 people's feathers.

Wow…my innocent thread just got awesome.

perhaps you be betty too
:roll:

Yes, as I said, anyone with their name as their username is obvious. Sorry I do not have a photographic memory of every regular poster on here so I can recap who I think is male and who I think is female.

My point remains: it's an internet messageboard. Some people have ambiguous names. There is nothing about the moniker xneverwherex that lets me know male or female. I don't see why it's so hard to believe that I could be mistaken on someone's gender who I've never talked to personally, met, nor seen a picture of.

I erased mine because I like yours so much more…

Jadetree is, too.


Funny how she hasn't posted on this board in years yet her handle is perpetually on the first page.

Edit: beaten by a few seconds.

Well you always mention "Smackette" and I assumed you were a lesbian for years, but then I emailed you once and the reply came back with your real name, and I realized I WAS WRONG.

Trick ass bitch.
