2. Princess and her "stop picking on me" bullshit

Tru tried to discuss, in a rational way, the show "Fat Actress".

Thanks to Princess, it all went downhill.

He got fed up.

And rightfully so.

3. wow...

seems a little extreme to leave a political discussion board over a show.
maybe that was the proverbial straw, and other stuff was bothering him also.

:shrug:

4. I don't think it was over the show, per se.

It was more likely because *discussion* of the show became verboten.

6. It became "verboten"

because Princess was full of self-hatred, and projected it thru her many "stop picking on me" rants.

Hell, I didn't know she was overweight, didn't care. Still don't.

9. I know.

I know exactly who is responsible for making Fat Actress taboo. But I'm guessing it was the fact that they were ALLOWED to do so that was the reason for frustration and disgust, not the actual lack of show discussion itself.

8. I doubt he's trolling the board waiting for an opportunity....

This all just came down today after all. I would say that the catalyst for all of the reasons trumad left was the Princess... the clamp down on rules, the outlawing of any hint of anything sexual, Fat Actress... the list goes on.

TRUMAD!! PLEASE COME HOME! :bounce:

11. You know what's amazing?

The "bitch" flamewar that erupted a year or so ago lasted for a while before the mods shut it down, and "Fat Actress" only lasted about 30 posts before it became verboten.

I mean, I thought the whole controversy about "bitch" was silly, but for "Fat Actress" to be treated with greater asbestos gloves...sheesh.
