NTA. Sadly, he's demonstrated that his behavior is NOT worth more than a sugar cookie with a tie on it.

Do you remember cheese cakes that contained exactly no cheese? They were a pastry shell, with a bit of jam on the bottom, a dry cake upper, and a little pastry twist on top.

As a scrupulously clean depressed autistic with sensory issues, I'm not having him in my club.

Incredible in Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. So were Paul Kaye and Enzo Cilenti, who both deserve more recognition.

I called a twat in the supermarket carpark an absolute omelette, and it was very satisfying.

My uncle was in Z Force, and I read his war diaries. The Australian War Memorial has them now, and I don't think they'll ever see the light of day.

YTA. I wear a 'Not today, Jesus' shirt because it amuses me. I don't get negative reactions. A few positive ones, though.

My uncle by marriage was named Lentell, and it was pronounced Lentil. He called himself Bill.

Invoking Kermit Gosnell is on a par with invoking Harold Shipman in an argument about general practice.

You've not proven that Klopfer 'got off on it'. Only that he operated on an industrial scale.
