Stoutfellow:
I think he's talking about the heel of his left shoe, which has come loose. Perhaps "fer" refers to the nail?
badlow:
Jeez, may has issues, but her attack is unwarranted in any fashion. Winslow is decent and was happy and simply shared that happiness. May is bitter, and if the crimes were close to what we suspect, may should be grateful that she is not a toaster.
I am not sure I am comfortable with the use of privilege in this situation. Hannelore feels she is privileged, but instead of moping about it, she tries to make others lives better
zisraelsen:
I, for one, think May and Barry haven't been scheming nearly enough.

This is the reaction my Social Anxiety Disorder generally picks - avoid. Almost any kind of interaction with people terrifies me. I'm terrible at picking up on social cues, and can so easily run into the sort of problem that Winslow did - there's a button that says 'Do Not Press", but he couldn't read that sign, so he pushed it. Explosion. Pain. So yeah, I'll push a button and get a faceful of rage, and then hopefully (but only if someone is nice enough to explain it to me) I can translate what happened and what I did wrong so I won't do it again. But that's just the one situation - there's hundreds more buttons out there, I have no idea which ones explode, and I extremely don't like the explodey parts. So I don't touch them. No friends, can't date. I rarely post here because, as we can all see in this very discussion, people get heated about these issues. And I'll see a moderator post an official "Careful there, pal" message and look at the original message and think to myself "Well, that was certainly not a nice thing to say ... but I don't remember that particular thing being explicitly forbidden in the Rules thread." And that makes me worried that something I say will get me banned or at least scolded, because I'm not picking up on the implied stuff. I have no idea if this very post is going to get flagged.
The point I'm sort of struggling to get to is that I feel for Winslow here. I hope his brain isn't as screwed up as mine is and he can get over this and learn from it and overall go on to have nice experiences. But yeah, my gut reaction is also "Well, don't talk to her again. Ever."
Emperor Norton:
Dal you seem like a good guy. It's ok to speak up. I'm sorry that you feel you cannot.
