Has Anyone Punched Anyone Else Here? March 16, 2004 12:03 PM Subscribe
If I ever met you in person I'd engage in a punch up if you used my mother as part of an analogy!
Yeah, well, I got analogous with your girlfriend last night.
My girlfriend doesn't do anal..ogous.
In long, no, never, except when clavdivs threatened to skull-fuck stavros's verbs (or dry hump is adjectives, I can't remember), but that didn't really have anything to do with punching.
I've said this before--and apparently I'm willing to say it again--but if you're going to threaten violence, at least do it cleverly, perhaps flaunting your knowledge of archaic words or usages, guiling him while you make bedroom eyes and lick your cracked, bleeding lips and whipe the saliva from your draw (thick, like corn syrup) and reach your portly paw into the tub of congealed cheetos and pepsi.

errr "wipe", not "whipe", unless "whipe" has at some point in the relatively short history of the english language had a meaning which would make sense in that context, as archaic as it may be. Ahem.

IMO, if ever there was a reason to ban someone from metafilter, a threat of violence would have to be it. On preview, threats to verbs or adjectives are ok by me.

no, no mefi brawls have ever carried over into real world fisticuffs. Virtual shit tends to stay virtual. This has a downside in that nobody's ever come across with the sexual favors either.

Complex... what I actually said is that he deserved a smack upside the head, not a punch. More of 'whatareyouanidiot?'
I was aiming at the ridiculousness of his argument, and referring to someone's personal history that he knows nothing about. For all he knows, my mother died during a c-section giving birth to me.
And I think if anyone did talk to me that way in person, I would feel compelled to smack them upside the head.
But then, I'm just an old fart with a short fuse.
And jonmc - speak for yourself on the sexual favors, buddy.

Come to think of it, four of us Mefites (including jonmc, as it happened) got into it pretty harshly on the weekend.
Granted, it was at bowling, but still. Heavy objects, violent knockdowns, coming back for more, it went on for hours, and there was soreness after the fact. Dude, it got ugly.
There were also chicken wings involved.
I guess the answer, then, is: No.
(Does self-abuse count? Cos that's a whole nother story.)

Out of curiosity, has anyone on MeFi ever made good on an online "I'll punch you" threat?
I don't see it as a threat at all - it's just someone who can't handle their emotions and can't express themselves well enough to simply make their point. Like I said in the thread you link to, mouthing such words to me while physically facing me is something different - that is a threat, and requires the bottle and motivation that normally precedes a pasting/big fisticuffs - doing it virtually to a complete stranger is just cowardice/empty threat.
Anyway, are there MeFi fight club rules? Is the second rule the same as the first?

Fourth rule of Mefite Club: All fights have to be between two women, in mud, wearing bikinis and who ever has their top ripped off first, loses. If you are male, you need to find a female to take your place. All fights will be on pay per view and cost 29.95 a view.
