Carl-E:
Stoutflies mentioned that Padma talks, Marten listens. 

I just wanted to refute that.  She listens. 


Of course, then she calls it "Townie Drama"!

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 14 Nov 2011, 23:02 ---What does this mean for Marten? We've never seen him do casual. Granted that may have been for lack of opportunity, but he may believe that Sensitive Guys are supposed to get emotionally involved. Doing so now would result in making him unhappy, so it must be about to happen.

Err, what gives you the idea this is casual ? So far I havent felt any lack of emotional involvement on Marten's side.

--- Quote from: haikupoet on 14 Nov 2011, 21:21 ---Slut = promiscuous person. That's its primary meaning these days,
--- End quote ---

Actually, it's the primary meaning since Middle English times, according to the OED.  Stoutfiles appears to have quoted the first definition only from Chambers, which was a bit perverse as that didn't appear to be the meaning he used.

As for people with different world-views reading this comic, I might also be taken as an example, perhaps...

Those of you who are criticising one poster for having a different view from you should remember that it is not an uncommon view in many parts of society, and many parts of the world.  By all means point this out, and present arguments to support your case for your  view (though they may be not such much arguments as statements of convention in another part of society in this case), but please stay away from criticising someone for the act of having different views (you're generally doing OK so far, I should say). 

Note that merely presenting a different view that may cause discussion is not in itself trolling - that requires a primary intent  to cause trouble.

Monkey Says Yes:
Today's comic made me really, really happy.  It touched me in that special place.

Deadlywonky:
I can't add to the commentary regarding Marten and Padma's actions, but in the 21st century, where both parties know that there is no realistic long-term relationship prospects, are both consenting adults of the same sort of age and both know each other well enough but not too well, they should be able to have a one night stand without affecting the remaining days of their friendship or having the female referred to as a slut. Anyway, enough about Faye and Sven.

I really think that Marten isn't going to get mopey about this, as he knew before the night started that she wasn't going to be around forever.

Also has anyone noticed that they've sobered up?
