Are OT's annoying people on this board?

If OTs are annoying people, then it would follow that I am an OT. :smiley:

I have a t-shirt with noing emblazoned on it. When people ask, I tell them that somebody once told me that I was a noing.

I like OT’s because I like debate, and it is hard to debate your friends if they all agree with you.

Loll! I might use that one in an ad campaign! :smiley:

Um, Young Mr. Mole is a Brit, so I know what he means when he uses it (or, I guess, what Ms. Townshend means). I’m trying to reconcile that with your post, and it is bringing up ugly images.

But isn’t that precisely what many of those political OT posts are, especially the really rabid, vitriolic, rancorous ones? I speak figuratively, or course, and I by no means exclude any of my own humble submissions. Don’t think of it as ā€œugly imagesā€; think of it as basking metaphorically in the warmth of one’s own afterglow.

Gonzo, judging from your mantid avatar, I expect that wanking is a carefully negotiated procedure. :smiley:

Whoa, you really did mean it that way!!!

I always thought In and Out Fashion lists were that thing…

Oh, my. And now I wonder if perhaps I should have stressed the figurative part more.

Figuratively – metaphorically – symbolically – allegorically – a conceit.
