I think I’ve found a site that offers a multitude of personalities and points de vue. So far, this is what interests me:
Simon offers an edge of wildness (that I honestly miss from my twenty-something days) and legitimate military/political views while he is able to discuss more personal religious principles with other members. In the meantime, other vocal members are open to discussing many matters- politically incorrect or not- in a civil, intelligent manner.
Special shout-out to Nanda who was an awfully good sport about my Lou Reed comment!
ST UnWoked & UnVaxxed! 
Right with you, Liz! Blogging with and for grownups – with ST’s special sauce. It doesn’t get better than this!

Nanda, you should check out my “HolyFool” post on the Rat—hey it’s free, as they say! ( No, that isn’t at all the same thing as Wild Saint..it’s just that you might be interested in the religious aspect of it).
So,ST: cast out, banished, by both the Rico and the Rodent, you seem to have enticed away the ablest women writers from both (though I say it as shouldn’t!)! 😜

H, the ST seems to have a talent for helping many of us to meet/rediscover talents and gifts in ourselves – and each other. His paradoxically courtly wildness gives one permission to step out a bit. (I think of Robert Browning vis-à-vis Elizabeth Barrett here. ) Would you consider sharing “HolyFool” over here?

He has indeed. He never forgets the “fun factor.”
Plus the outrageous posts (see: Walk on the Wild Side) just simply entertains me. I’ve been there/done that and ST has a very charming way of reminding us of our youth. :)))

Here’s the best thing about the wild and woolly ST: He simply likes women in all shapes, sizes with varying political viewpoints.

Simon, keep your site to yourself and your fans as well. It’s not fun or irreverent out there; simply sanctimonious and ego-maniacal.

I agree but would add that they are self-doubting and with inferiority complexes that probably render most also impotent.
What I don’t understand is how they can be both ego-maniacs and cuckolded.
P.S. Cuckold also seems to be their new favorite word for some reason that also baffles the mind.

I am (almost) sure that you’d rather no know. Something about LBFMs making some ladies from the western world jealous and such. Of course if you just must know a bit of arm twisting usually works wonders.
FYI: The ‘no know’ above was not a typo.

Solid, no doubt copy, ST….Grateful for the heads-up/need to know, more than I can say. (However, I’m sure I speak for more than myself when I say that arm-twisting doesn’t sound like as much fun as twisting you around one’s little finger.) -grin-
