--- Quote from: Baphomet on 08 Feb 2015, 23:51 ---That's a lie. You say you couldn't have not done it, but you could've done naught instead. Even if you did not do naught, you could've not done it, but you did not, so you did.

Wait, so who's on first?

He's on third, but we're not talking about him.

That was kind of my point. It doesn't matter what was actually involved. There's more there than the act(s), and that's what matters!
--- End quote ---
Then you're exasperated that explicit's comment wasn't "look at the love that these two both share and how it has grown so that the act of intercourse between them is so loving and great and full of good emotions"?
We're back to needing to explain to you the intent of humorous understatement, which is where we started. I want to assume that there's a simple miscommunication here rather than anything malicious.

Well, of course there's nothing malicious, I just really hate the term "porked"! :roll:
Seriously, though, I just kind of read Explicit's comment as - well, kind of dismissive. I understood the attempt at understatement, but it really fell flat for me. I just wanted to reframe the conversation into something a little more meaningful and closer to what the participants are actually experiencing.
Which is, at least in my reading, more than just sex.
All the "saccharine" dating was a buildup to this. It showed us that these two weren't just hopping in the sack, there's a relationship being made, a connection. It makes the evening's activities an act of love, not just two people bangin'.
But to be honest, It probably wouldn't have bothered me as much if any other term had been used! :-P
Warning - while you were typing, Explicit apologized. You should tell him it's OK, and that you're just being a pompous ass about it.
*sigh*
Yeah, you're right. My bad.
No hard feelings?
Is it cold in here?:
"Hey, baby, let's you and me engage in an act of afterglow generation!"
ReindeerFlotilla:
Watch your language! There may be children present.
BenRG:
Just an additional point: Is it 'd'aaawww' or 'squeeeeee' today? I'm voting 'd'aaawww'.
As I've said before, I'm a romantic. :wink:
