LVPO – I’m delighted to have made such an impact in your tiny wee life and I will wear your rebuke (overstated fantasy) as a badge of honour. It amuses me that in here, one can call artists “whores” etc and hardly anyone gives a toss, yet a small piece of silliness by me can be draw such a response – “foul mouthed” etc.
LVPO I suspect that you are a lot younger than I- and that is why you have yet to learn one of the truisms of life- that to be “successfully insulted” by someone, you have to respect them first. That is why your words to me are like water off a duck’s back- while I can only be flattered that you obviously hold me in “greater esteem”….thank you!
I humbly request that you (and anyone else) feel free to personally insult me anytime you like (and say anything you like)…it will never hurt me. At the same time I implore la Cieca to please NEVER redact anything anyone says about me- and be assured the worse it is, the more I will like it.
I do hope your life picks up a bit….
Tutti
Let’s all take turns “insulting Ruxton successfully”!
Ruxton…
Oh boy it really is like “water off a duck’s back”, just not quite in the way YOU mean. Your obtusity is really rather impermeable, but you seem to think that’s a point in you favour… Well it isnt.
I don’t know if you ARE older than I, no way of knowing for sure. What is certain though is that you are obnoxious and condescending.
Calling anyone a “whore” would no doubt be in YOUR style. I wouldn’t stand for that any more that I stand for your dim-witted non-sense. And YOU need to learn that what you consider a “truism” is really just a fallacy: I certainly do not respect you but I still take offense at most of the things you say.
Hope you enjoy…
Tutti Fruiti …yes please, Whammie!
Bring it on. Have to admit I haven’t seen you before – or at least I haven’t remembered anything you have contributed. Try to make it a little more memorable this time, if that’s at all possible…or are you just hoping someone else will do the trick? 
PS: Please let that be the end of it. The subject has now been dealt with in an exhaustive and exhausting manner. I have decided to ignore you from now on so you can afford me the same curtesy starting immediately. Thank you.
Great LVPO – suits me, (not that I’m exhausted) but out of respect for other readers.
At least you might think twice before you pick a fight with someone next time. No use starting something if you haven’t got the stamina to see it through. Have a nice life.
I am waiting for Ruxton to reveal itself, as looking like Dame Edna Everage’s ‘dolly sister’!
Commnet 30# – Ruxton grumbled:
I think I’m going to puke!
Harry the Blowfly! How expected of you to drop by! I just knew you’d be attracted by the crap. What with this early summer heat I daresay you’ll be buzzing around quite a lot for a while.
I notice your last two poisonous posts were totally ignored – hehe keep trying!
Don’t worry LVPO, I recognised Ruxton as a silly catty thing long ago. I am quite capable of taking on and handling this antipodian troll…p! I think it sits on the sails of the Sydney Opera House for pleasure. I do not find it curious she mentioned that ‘A-K’ monster in her Comment #36. She is a self made cultural fundamentalist who thinks she is the goddess of operatic opinion. Is it not strange when I touched upon her ‘breeding’ in a former post, she became a screaming bog-banchee!
Why Ruxton!…, still trying to be one of those silly anal retentive fixated opera queens, so mocked around the various Australian states? Who believes that ’strawberry daquiris with Jeremy and Cyril’, is that height of Kulture while having a Joan (Wonder-Lungs) Chunderland opera afternoon soiree’ is the height of good breeding? Well I am sure Jeremy and Cyril do need a resident ‘hag’ amongst their deluded entourage. Ruxton’s ’star party trick’….. we can only assume it is a performance of ‘crapping…. on’. No wonder the hosts make sure there is plenty of Sorbent and Kleenex ‘bathroom tissue’ on hand. Where’s Ruxton…in there…balling her eys out….the bitch has been jilted again, she accuses.
Wonderful stuff! Keep going
Attention! Look! Ruxton’s had an attack of the’smiles’ involuntarily. She appears to be suffering upsets from getting the wrong ‘hormonal’ replacement therapy for singing out her backside. Anal nodes, they are called. You can be sure she will be back to her ‘her-normal’ self soon.
Ruxton
Are you related to Kyle Sandilands by any chance?
Your comments always remind me of his verbal garbage!
Hello Bell Bird- join the fray and have a go. It will be a change for you from sucking on an old Ayatollah.
i’d rather suck on an old ayatollah than john mccain, as u seem to be doing.
Hi Scifisci – oh dear- (obviously a tad confused) – I’m in Oz, not USA.
groan groan … sigh sigh sigh… zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……………
# 40-….
“out of respect for other readers”…????
LOL! YOU?? YOUUUU????
“respect for other readers”??? Since WHEN???? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL…………………………………………………………..!!!
We knew THAT already..Ruxton, dearie! First I thought you were suffering from your usual hormonal inbalance,BUT excuse me, I now realise it was vocal hemroids. That’s what you get for defending and praising too many of Opera Austrlia’s Z- class travesties.
Oh you’re both back! Harry the Fly- meet Lupo the Iranian refugee who said he wouldn’t be back but now he is. (They never say anything they mean :0) ..do you Loopey?)
Anyhow, it’s so good to see you’ve all got so much in common and I’m right proud that I’ve been the catalyst for bringing you all together… just don’t breed!!
BLEAH… PUKE…
Toxic old dowager Ruxton is quietly offended. Turned ‘mid-east politico’ nasty for the second time here. Game over. Peg on the nose everyone.
Harry, LVPO, Ruxton- basta. Take it to email. Punch each other up in the street. Firebomb each other’s houses if you need to, but please keep your tedious flame war away from places where other people have to read it.
This is a thread about the Met gala. Let’s keep it that way.
Anyone heading to Times Square (or the Fordham Campus)for the Gala, in a couple of hours?….I just looked out the window, and it’s clouding up…hope it stays dry!!
armerjacqino – thanks for the “advice” but with respect the thread was hijacked some time ago by the two pea brained pit bulls. Best to stay out of it because people do not have to read it- it is at least contained here and was petering out – until you posted this. Also I have no intention of furnishing them with my email address or continuing discourse with them privately because it IS tiresome- it’s like arguing with grade oners.
I did and still do suggest to la Cieca that she might like to provide a separate zone or area on Parterre where people can trade insults if they find it necessary- I did originally think it might be funny/witty etc- but now I realise there’s no chance of that given….well lets just say we aren’t dealing with Oscar Wildes
Ruxton, I started to enter the fray when you decided to not discuss opera,or Renee’ dresses etc. I took strong exception to, and found offensive the fact you brought ‘nasty underhanded inferences – associated with Middle -Eastern politics’ into the discussion not once, but numerous times in a underhanded and somewhat sly way. This is no place for such discussion or to use it to make a cheap ‘crack’. Perhaps I am better situated than most here, (in the local geographical sense) to quickly pick up and sense – the unique stamp -’the angle from where, those smelly views were coming from’. Now you wish to play poor appealing, innocent plain Jane, and finger point in an opposite direction as a distraction. Come on!
Now let’s all just get back to discussing opera and keep it off ‘that other track’. Be a good girl now. Don’t get caught with your bloomers down, again.
I second that.
