So I decide to (re)start a thread with news from Poland. For starters, I give you this gem:
QuoteDonkeys reunited at Polish zoo after sex scandal
By Associated Press September 25
WARSAW, Poland — Napoleon is now back with his Antosia.
The two amorous donkeys who were separated because of an outcry over their lovemaking have been reunited at a zoo in Poland.
The couple, together for 10 years, got into trouble when mothers expressed outrage that children had to witness their mating. Local conservative official Lydia Dudziak took up their cause and persuaded the director of the zoo in Poznan to have the animals put in separate pens.
The zoo acknowledged making a mistake Thursday and said the donkeys are again in one pen after about a week apart.
"It was never our intention for any animals to feel uncomfortable because of their natural behaviors," the zoo said in a statement.
The interruption of the long-standing romance turned into a national news item in Poland in the past days. Nearly 7,000 people signed a petition to have them reunited.
Two fan pages appeared on Facebook devoted to their cause, with a total of nearly 10,000 likes — and photos of donkeys in the act.
Experts weighed in, saying the separation could hurt their psychological wellbeing. Politicians were asked about it on the country's leading news programs.
"Animals separated by sex into different cages? It's complete idiocy," said Stefan Niesiolowski, a lawmaker with the governing party, Civic Platform.
Even the spokesman for Law and Justice, the conservative party that Dudziak belongs to, would not come to her defense.
"It's a level of absurdity ... that has been crossed to such an extent that I don't even want to read or know about this," Adam Hofman said Wednesday evening.
In their decade together, Napoleon and Antosia have produced six offspring, including two-month old Tadeusz.

Imagine the scandal if both donkeys were male. :ph34r:

Here is a bit of good news (could also go into the gay thread):
QuoteHow This Chiseled Boxing Champ Became The Unlikely New Face Of Gay Rights In Poland
The Polish gay rights movement has a new advocate who is equal parts unlikely as he is effective. And boy can they use the help. Boxer Dariusz Michalczewski, or 'Tiger' as he's known to just about everyone in the country, became a household name during his decade-long dominance as a light heavyweight champion.
Tiger defected to Germany in 1988, where he continued his boxing career under the German flag and became an international star.
Now retired, he's lending some much needed support to the fight for gay rights in Poland, where same-sex marriage and gay adoption remain goals just barely on the horizon.
But Tiger's support is more than a mere symbolic gesture. He's causing the needle to move.
He first appeared in photographs attending an event organized by gay rights group Shoulder to Shoulder on Equality — L.G.B.T. and Friends with a sign that read, "I am an ally of L.G.B.T. people, because I want to live in a country where my gay friends are not discriminated against."
In a TV appearance, he engaged directly with right-wing politicians, asking them: "What if your daughter were a lesbian? What if your son were gay? If it were my child, I would love him very much. And I would support him in everything, because he'd be my child!"
The fact that he is so universally liked among Poles means his support does not go unnoticed. Marek Jakubiak, owner of the popular Polish brewery Ciechan, had some choice words about the former pugilist's new role as advocate.
He took to Facebook, posting: "Boxing is supposedly harmful and this is the indisputable proof!" He also made some disparaging comments about Tiger's mother. Classy.
Jakubiak's comments have lead to a boycott of Ciechan beer, which represents a major step forward in public opinion for gay rights in the conservative Catholic nation. It's a boycott led by liberal activists, but a successful one nonetheless.
Tiger told the New York Times:
"I am worried that two generations will have to die off and it will only be the third that will have a normal attitude toward gays and lesbians. I am very sorry for those who are at the barricades fighting for their rights because they probably won't succeed in their lifetimes. To me, their struggle is like the struggle against Communism."
We wish Tiger and the fight for rights in Poland many more successes down the road.
On a completely unrelated note, the Times also points out that the 1995 Marky Mark song "No Mercy" was written about Tiger. He and Mark Whalberg became friends in the early '90s.

I thought this was going to be news in the exciting field of burnishing and the like. :(
So, it might be of interest to Tamas that the Polish bowtie racist libertarian guy (that he and his girlfriend apparently adore) has been kicked out of the party that he started and is now starting a new party. :D

Ok guys wanna hear something funny. Tamas just sent me a PM in relation to this post ASKING ME NOT TO SHARE STUFF ABOUT HIM THAT FIREBLADE TELLS ME AFTER TAMAS TELLS IT TO FIREBLADE.
There is so much wrong with that request, I don't even know where to begin. :lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao:
Dude, if you don't want everybody finding out about something, ask the person you tell it not to spread it around. Or better yet, if that person is Fireblade, don't tell it at all.
Welcome back Marty, good to have you around.
On the one hand, you should never tell Fireblade secrets. On the other hand, why would liking a particular politician be worth keeping secret? :huh:

Yeah, this is exactly my point. So the fact that after posting that I got a passive agressive PM written in an accusatory tone from Tamas just left me perplexed and, initially, angry. I decided to turn it into a cause for an amusement instead.

You have defended that politician on this forum several times before.
Goddamn I wake up and both of these Eurofags are messaging me about their stupid little squabble.
Is European unity dead? :cry:
If anyone shares personal info they don't want the rest of the world to know with the Unholy Trinity of FB, Jaron and Mart, then he deserves all humiliation that might result from it.
It is about the principle, no secrets have been revealed here. And I thought the whole idea of having Marty back was to start considering him a non-sociopath despite his history.

The principle still applies - don't share anything with those three that you don't want to be shared around like a comfort woman in a Japanese army camp.
QuoteAnd I thought the whole idea of having Marty back was to start considering him a non-sociopath despite his history.
:lmfao: :lmfao: :lmfao:
I know, I know, fool me twice and all.
What the hell is sociopathic in what I posted? It's not that I revealed some secret or shameful thing. Unless you are ashamed that you have a girlfriend or that you like that politician (which you actually admitted before on Languish). :huh:
To be honest, I thought the fact that you had a girlfriend was a public knowledge here. I don't filter information based on where I hear it because I dont remember where I heard it - especially as I was away for so long so I just assume everything I hear about posters is generally common Languish knowledge.
As for the fact that your girlfriend likes this politician - I haven't actually heard it from anyone, just made the connection (since how the hell would you have heard about some obscure Polish politician otherwise). To be honest, if she is a fan of his and, unlike you, she is not ignorant in Polish politics, this makes me think a lot of bad things about her. The guy is more nasty than Farrage, Le Pen or Santorum.
My main issue is you involving her in your usual derogatory comments. Avoiding that is precisely why I did not mention her before.

I'm pretty sure the reason most people who spoke in favour of Marty returning was that they're amused by the train wrecks he causes, not because they somehow thought he had improved as a human being (though him trying to keep up the pretence of not being a terrible human being is likely entertaining to some).
The reason he got the boot earlier was, essentially, that he'd accumulated too many unamusing and disgusting train wrecks for the abstract languish consensus.
I'm afraid - and this is my interpretation of languish's reaction rather than my own opinion - that Marty being vexatious about your personal life like this is more amusing than unamusing.
What's wrong with Marty? He's an OK joe. Jeez you bunch of cyber bullies.
Polish news thread instantly becomes 90% coverage and commentary on Marty's antics -- sounds about right.

Only a certain subset of posters behaves this way, actually.
All I know is that you should feel free to take any and all shots at me that you want, but I'd be pissed if you took shots at my wife and kids.
If I said that you and your wife support a certain politician, would I be taking shots at her?

No, for some odd reason some people thought he had reformed. That was obviously a wrong conclusion to draw. He tried to be on his best behavior for the first while but his true character could not be restrained forever.

QuoteHow is it at all about "my antics"?
Well, if she does in fact support that guy and he is as bad as you say (I expect I probably agree more with your PoV on him than Tamas') then dragging her into a political discussion here is a somewhat mean spirited way to get at Tamas.
If she does not in fact support that guy, then it's a completely spurius and somewhat mean spirited way to get at Tamas.
If you made up her support to get a mean spirited blow in at Tamas while implicating his private life, then that qualifies as antics IMO, especially when you then respond to private communication with public mockery.
... in fact, responding to private communication with public mockery is pretty much antics no matter what, IMO.

Tamas is a great fan of him. So I assume it is her influence. I explained it earlier in this thread.
In fact, I never saw or met or learned anything about her. All I know is that he has a Polish girlfriend. So this is all the more ridiculous. I am just talking about some abstraction of a person. Which is completely different if, say, I was making fun of BB's wife, whom I actually met.

CdM makes fun of everybody's relationships, pretty much, and usually in proportion to how frequently the poster brings them up.

You're trying to rules-lawyer social interactions. It's never going to end well.
Telling someone with known mental problems to kill themselves privately is different than asking someone in private from not bringing up their girlfriend on a public forum. Thus bringing up the private communication up in public is also different.
You make it sound as if I don't have known mental problems. :glare:
But I have always believe in strict rules of social interactions. I have a few friends who are like that too, and we spend a lot of time discussing about the insanity of the rest of the populace. That is also why I love "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

I'm not even really disagreeing with you, I don't think, just trying to explain what I believe to be the general perception.
I don't think this particular incident rises above the level of "gratuitous low blow (minor)" which are pretty common-place in these parts. You hit a sore spot though, and Tammy responded with indignation and you escalated and mocked; again not that uncommmon. All that said, you do have a reputation for antics, whether you think it's deserved or not, so everything you do plays into that.
Also for the record, I don't believe I've trash talked any of your boyfriends or dragged them into any of our disagreements or fights.
Well, maybe I was unfair in dragging you into this. I think Crazy Canuck is my literal nemesis here. Then there is a bunch of posters with whom I disagree more often then not. And then a bunch of people with whom I agree more often than not.
The only poster I agree with all the time is The Brain.
I do find it a bit tedious that, from some people, every time I disagree with them, I get the whole "oh we shouldn't have let him back in after all". Especially as most of these people actually voted against me being unbanned anyway, so it's not like I somehow failed to live up to their expectations.

I do find it a bit tedious that, from some people, every time I disagree with them, I get the whole "oh we shouldn't have let him back in after all". Especially as most of these people actually voted against me being unbanned anyway, so it's not like I somehow failed to live up to their expectations.
I voted to unban you, and now regret it.
And it has nothing to do with disagreeing with me, but rather realizing what an unpleasant human being your online persona reflects.
I say your online persona, because in person you seem like a pretty great guy. I cannot even really reconcile the two. Online you are a champion of bigotry and intolerance that I would expect to find in Alabama living in a rundown shack with his common law wife.

You, on the other hand, have the nicest online persona ever. ;)
Typical Languish behavior there- get on high horse about bigotry, then take cheap shot at the South.

Indeed, I realize that my online persona is pretty assholish at times, and I am ok with that, and I think people who know me personally have no great difficulty reconciling the two. My delivery changes online, but the content is the same, I think.
I certainly never heard you argue in person that really, beating up people who don't act the way society demands is fine, and in fact, NOT beating them up is the root of imagined "pussification" of society.

Mississippi or South Carolina would've been a cheaper shot, with AmScip and Ide taking shrapnel.
Don't forget the Navy bean.

How is it at all about "my antics"?
Meant light-heartedly in the sense of "your activities" or "your posting." My post was intended as a little double joke about the relative scarcity of internationally-compelling news stories coming out of Poland, as well as the tendency for you to end up an active participant in most of the high-level, self-referential drama on Languish, whether it originated with you or not.
And for the record, I agree that you were not engaged in any bad behavior. :) At least at the outset: now that the thread has jumped from 2 to 7 pages in the blink of an eye, I'll have to see what antics have ensued and whether yours have displayed proper comportment or not... :P

That's an overinterpretation. I suggested it as an option I would personally enjoy. I wasn't very convincing though.

I think it was more of a general tiredness with Marty at the time. The Raz thing pushed it over the top for a bunch of people, but it wasn't some sort of "he's broken this one rule, so due process dictates this as a punishment" and much more of a general consensus that languish would be better without Marty rather than with him.
Then a bunch of the people who had turned against Marty eventually got over it, so when the idea of bringing him back was raised enough people said "yeah, why not."
In short, it's not a nefarious hidden agenda of some sort, that's how it was straight up.
I decided Marty needed the night off. Because I can do that.

Sometimes Marti just needs a night off. It's late on that side of the planet anyway. He should be doing Marti things instead of squealing all giddy over murdered police officers.
And don't you start with any "Je Suis Marti" stuff, either. Yeah, that's right, I'm a cyberbwlly.
