    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.

  • LVPO says:

    I second that. ;)
