Can we have a Wanker's Corner?

[onebatmother]

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?

chroric as in chora since you mentioned Kristeva

was nowt but blither really

that was to ipanemagirl btw!

you looked! you might still turn to stone!!

I want to know that thing is too we need some choric expertise Guadalope! Here we should have no shame about our expertise areas even if they be a little pervy!

I can't actually.. remember.. a single word of Kristeva, Guadalupe . Taxpayers' money, down the drain..

Choric skirts are very brief, aren't they?

good lord it is a footling breech

he/she must have some cross gender anally retentive symbolic sphincter, or something

yes, OBM, 0-6 months

you may as well buy the next size up

bleurgh. I thought it was some Mycaenian body hair fashionable for a brief moment c. 600bc.

Actually I might ask Joan, chief depilator at Butterflies in Chingford, for a Mycaenian next time I go in. I've quite possibly got the wherewithal in terms of hirsuteness.

Just read the OP. And have but one question.

What the feck are you on about?

at 0-6 months.

Yes I laughed at my own joke there, very poor taste

I am sure I have argued with you before about Kristeva though, as MrsC, so you must remember something. I can't remember the context.

MrsCarrot? Bleedin' eck, hello my dear.
Btu actually I think you are confusing me with someone else bcs I can remember nothing. Had to google Chora. I've got the vaguest possible grasp of all that feminist psychoanalytic theory stuff, which is crap really as it did really interest me at the time. I do rememeber a very strong feeling of being out of my depth, though. I was far happier with lumpen fem crit informed by the most vanilla liberal politics perspective.

Fine! Don't tell me then!
I probably scare you all with my intelligent prowess and superior wit.

Is it poor taste to laugh at your own jokes in Wankers' Corner though?

OBM - are you a graduate of literary stuff? Get thee behind me, Santa.

Rhubarb - no idea - I'm just stalking onebat.

lol at lumpen fem crit

I was sure it was you, something to do with traintracks? Maybe not. I get skull fuzz on here and have to go and take a turn round the garden quite often.

Sorry, Rhubarb to ignore - have a look down the thread but briefly...

It's about not annoying people with academic/wanky discussion of general issues. In the past people have complained puts them off posting about something that they do care about.

So I was suggesting, slighly seriously, but not really, that we could have a special place to adjourn to where we won;t annoy people but equally where we won't feel self-conscious or liable to a kicking, if we talk pretentious shite.

Oh but dahling - I NEVER talk pretentious shite! That'd be the athiests!

she's quite right you know about the atheists.

Sorry, Rhubarb - believing in God doesn't exempt one from pretentiousness (remembers Catholic school teachers).

Having read all the way through and had a good laugh, I would venture to suggest that anyone who is 'offended' by other people's intelligence to the point of bleating that they shouldn't be allowed to discuss existentialist bollocks obscure intelectual matters because it fwightens the thickos and makes them shit the bed, should maybe sod off and read a fucking book for once in their lives?

LOL at madamez particularly 'shit the bed'.

That's definitely going into my list of ripostes for every occasion.

Can I nominate you as the Enforcer Security Consultant of Wanker's Corner?

Actually all this has made me think, in a very dull way, about the perils of both ghettoization and 'reclamation of terms'.

I don't mind it when my homies call me a wanker, but I feel offended when others do

Likewise I'd feel comfortable in Wankers' Corner (hard chairs v good for my back) until I was told to stay there.

LOL
LOL
LOL madamez at LOL at 'shit the bed', that is very funny and making me want to have a wee. Agree about Madame being Executive if the Security Division of the think wank.
also I agree about disquieting the Unquiet one from his slumber of Atheism. He and I have waved our sticks of wank at one another far too often. He wears the crown of the Enlightenment and his cool rationalism makes me want to have a cry into my medieval superstitions etc etc. we all need to find comfort somewhere innit?

This think wank doesn't make me at all horny though.

I hope wankers' corner could be a little more glorious.

ROFL!! That is EXACTLY how I imagined it would look.
