I apologize for graphically describing how these folks get and give each other jollies, but you must agree that a flood of group backpatting comparisons of gun models belongs on exi-freedom, not here. The only reason that they are posting such stuff here instead of exi-freedom, where they easily could be doing the same thing, is to exhibitionistically expose the entire extropy list to it whether they want to be or not, perhaps hoping to (1) harass those who do not wish to be subjected to it (such as myself) and (2) troll for firearms voyeurs for their exi list; I consider such behavior to be impositional, puerile and unfortunate.
