Can we have a Wanker's Corner?

Hello.

It's been noted in the past that there are some pretentious wankers amongst us who like to discuss some general subjects (eg.Porn, Religion) in a fairly, erm.. academic manner, and that this sometimes seems to intimidate and/or infuriate other posters.

There doesn't seem to be an easy solution to this problem: there's no doubt that people really do feel intimidated and that it might prevent them from posting on a subject that concerns them. It also must feel hijack-y at times.

At the same time, it's hard for the Wanker's to be told that they mustn't post anything that might intimidate.

Would it be possible to have a special place, with very hard chairs to keep us awake, that we may call our own?

i am slightly wankerish, finding both the sisters of the academe and the dribbling fools intimidating. one set because of their ginormous brains and the others because of their well-developed right arms and under-developed brains.

onebatmother · 24/06/2008 13:34

hahah Aitch. We belong together.

We could put accountants and solicitors (and possibly plumbers)together in thieving bastards corner

We could call it the Seminar Room. Accurate, tasteful, and nice suggestions of wankerishness in the fact that 'seminar' shares an origin with 'semen' (I think)

Perfect, threadworm. And hopefully it won't attract so much interest from people who just want to talk about vibrators.

Kewcumber · 24/06/2008 13:39

at being categorised with plumbers that is. They are far richer than we lowly accoutants are.

StripySails · 24/06/2008 13:39

surely "wankers'"?

CodGuevara · 24/06/2008 13:40

Onebat, you wanker!

I think it should be called 'Cerebral City'.

Sounds a bit like cheese which is a step cousin of wanking.

Kewcumber · 24/06/2008 13:41

I've considered it myself Carmenere.

onebatmother · 24/06/2008 13:41

StripySails that is a moot point.

I think Cod's recent post illustrates the current problem perfectly.
