Since a Duchess exists I am going to go ahead and make an ass of myself and assume there is hierarchical structure in this microcosm. Going out on a limb again, seems maybe to be a Gynarchy or Matriarchy, complete with Ladies at arms. I tend towards anarchical zones but don't restrict myself to these. Right now I'm punching buttons with no real plan, other than to punch those buttons and have them approach coherence in what is generally understood to be english. I will not capitalize english. When I capitalized Gynarchy and Matriarchy in my second sentence I was pandering. For a period of time i even eschewed capitalizing the self referential i. It seemed hubris so i stopped, mostly, sometimes i fall back on it. By capitalizing some words are made more important than other letters, all cases are equal.
 
 that's not to say that they are all the same (yes, that initial t is not capitalized). The letters and cases work together doing their own thing while co-operating to make something greater than themselves. 
i will stop here for now and wait to see if i have divulged personal information, ahem, PI, and thereby gotten myself expunged.

Dude. Assuming you’re a dude. Seriously, not interested in meandering thoughts about meaningless bullshit. 

Great. You’re not stupid (I hope) but read the fucking room. There’s no benefit to trying to wow people with your esoteric ramblings. 

Lady Cop (your “ladies at arm reference”) is unfortunately dead. If she were still here she’d likely rip your nonsensical post in shreds and hope (because she was nice that way) that you can/could do better.

Me thinks you don’t just type randomly. You’re out to impress. 

Not working.

Looks like his head (on top of his shoulders) is covered in pubic hair. Bummer for him!

And here I thought we had some connection. 

It’s not you, it’s me, RC, but I think we need a break.

Until tomorrow. Fucker.

I love this so much even tho it's not true! You're my tribe!  

I dont know about bowing Clang. I look at Duch as more of a good friend. I just felt we made a connection when we met on another forum. Long before MOCK was born. I can't speak for Duch but I felt we had a mutual respect for each other. So bow, not so much. Respect, hell yes!

I think you might be thinking of someone else, hun. I didn't know you before Mock, I didn't really know anyone online before Mock. I say it like that because I don't think I ever made more than a dozen posts anywhere else. I never fit in other forums that I would come across. If you are referring to 24, I did join over there, but that was only after I saw people in Mock talking about MF's other site.

I meant bowing as in Duchess is a good friend that gives good advice and I respect their opinions.

Got ya Clang, it went right over my head.

Yep, 24 it was and for some reason I thought it was before Mock. I spent most of my time in the biker sub group and for some reason I thought you poped in there. Wolf, myself and I can't remember what Sinisters name was there. Along with a few others held down the fort in that sub group in 24.

Dude works. Wow, got ya all riled up eh? I appreciate the response and advice. Sorry for the loss of Lady Cop, seems as though that hit a nerve for you too. I may not have impressed, but no not my intent. This is not the first time an initial meeting has provoked negativity. Criticism appreciated and noted. Thanks for reading the post and for your opinion.

Thanks Duchess, seems I ruffled a few feathers landing here. Thanks for not asking me to bow, cheers
