My rants for the day.....stalkers and Sandy Moore I'm lost - who the heck is Sandy Moore? Am I missing a breaking news broadcast?  I googled her and got a large-breed herding dog breeder. I suspect that's not the one, unless some dog breeder has attracted your ire?

Hyperbole Greek: 'exaggeration') is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.
When I read hyperbole in a MB debate, I suspect frail logic based on insecurity.

Methinks we need Pariah to post again to show why being weak is a bad idea.
(I don't recall him ever BEING weak, per se, but I'm sure what happened to him could happen more easily to weakwilled BHs)
One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger
I will not spend my life this way.

It is baffling karma I agree
Reminds me of the song"Bad bad billly is sweet William now"
The words go
" married life just changed him somehow
He used to go out looking for a fight
Now he stays home with his women every night
Bad bad Billy don't fight any more
Does the dishes, moppin up the floor"
...and so on
But the difference is in the natural ability of a women to tame that savage libido and make us think with the right head, and the abuse of that power, just like Billy used to himself
Sex should be classified as a misdemeanor, the more you miss it, da meaner you get
But for those of us who have outgrown, those impulses to think with our feelings, or controlled our feelings through understanding them, or fear of consequences of acting on them...
We can't forget they are allways there, and they deserve respect, because that is how we were made
It's allways a power struggle

This exposure stuff is... "character assassination!" Character assassination is an attempt to tarnish a person's reputation. It may involve exaggeration, misleading half-truths, or manipulation of facts to present an untrue picture of the targeted person. It is a form of defamation and can be a form of ad hominem argument. "Hey, everybody! WS has been sleeping with another man!" "That's character assasination!" "Um. No. You have to have character for it to be assasinated."
"An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field." - Niels Bohr
