Like a phoenix from the ashes...
I choose to view this post’s oblique reference as reflective of my spawning a legacy within quite a short span of time. Thanks. Further thanks to those who noticed my absence and reached out — I never would have expected that. I’m all verklempt. And I can’t deny the fact that you like me. Right now, you like me!
Neither really appears to have been the case during my... sabbatical, I should like to say. Après moi, le déluge.
This is what I initially found befuddling: I posted the thing in the thread, then perhaps two hours later observed aloud in the selfsame thread that it was gone, and then I was given the time-out posthaste. Not for nothing, but I was uncertain as to how a remark about the offending thing could be deemed more provocative than the thing itself. I thought that I drew the ire of TPTB by simply noting that the meme in question had been removed.
I’ve always been enamored of shameless, politically-incorrect humor. I recognize that not everyone is as enamored of it as I. Incidentally, I posted the same meme here as I did on Facebook without incident. Moreover, I thought that this was a forum in which such a brand of humor is regarded as unremarkable. After all, there resides here a joke about nuns being raped—that joke, by the way, enjoyed a warm reception—so I thought that what I posted wasn’t that far out of the way. Clearly I was mistaken. I did read the TOS with a fine-tooth comb and saw that the specific topic I posted about is verboten—I can see why—so I suppose that posting about it after the thing was deleted added insult to grievous injury. I am absolutely mortified.
Forgive me, Daddy, for I have committed a faux pas. It’s been one month since my last login. In Thy Name I supplicate myself. What’s my penance?
