The (supportive) comment about how Ravelry is the internet for fiber-people isn't far off the mark. Swear to *god*, a lot of these people seem never to have communicated on-line (let alone realized that there might be different people in the big bad world out there). Their wanks are like perfect miniatures of persistent themes -- Nazis! Lurkers support them in email! Swearing is unladylike!

...I had to get a Firefox extension to block me from reading the forums. My mental health and blood pressure are *much* better now.

	Hee, yes! I was wasting insane amounts of time boggling at the crazy and the bigoted. Now I just look at pretty projects and enjoy myself. <3 (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hey, did you start the Triangle? I might finally cast it on this weekend... Don't know what needle size I'm going to need exactly yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I did! I keep delaying posting about it, on Rav or IJ, because I'm cameraless at the moment. I went with 4mm for the laceweight yarn, and it's a little lacier than I'm usually comfortable with. Good luck casting on! I couldn't deal with the garter-tab caston. lame (Reply to this)(Parent)

I've given up on the forums b/c there's always surprise!breastfeeding wank in the threads. I swear, it's like a lactating landmine every time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I want a boobies-icon with WARNING - LACTATING LANDMINES on it now. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no talent for photoshop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lactating landmine The kind that goes SQUOOSH! Unrelatedly (I think), I particularly enjoyed the "Europeans don't wash their dishes" wank. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dude, I missed that one! This is why I only belong to a few small groups on Ravelry. I'm mostly just there for the archiving and pattern/yarn databases. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I think it began as an observation that particular Europeans the poster stayed with didn't rinse their dishes after washing, but it soon blew up into this whole Eco vs. Obese American vs. Warriors for Hygiene thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
