I don't think it was calling xs a hooker, prostitute, call girl, chippie, bimbo, harlot, floozy, strumpet, doxy, loose woman, courtesan, demimondaine, tart, streetwalker, whore, trollop, courtesan, concubine, or working girl.

My Eyes just rolled out of my head. Liar.

[RikaStrom]

You are such a doll.

[xsmommy]

[Conspiracy Guy]

Intent is not on the post, "Hooking men", is how it reads. "Well officer I didn't intend to run the light", is no defense.

[hobbes1]

Then the answer to my question was a simple no, not all of this mischaracterization, innuendo, and finger pointing, what are you running for the Democratic Nomination too ?

[RikaStrom]

Once again intent is not on the post. Intent shows up later when xs and I called you on it.

[hobbes1]

I know no such thing.

[hobbes1]

OF course it is. the quoted text of xs' post is what provides the context for the question.....


without the quote, the question has no meaning.
