This poll is not going to get anything close to accurate results as it is.

Do polls ever?

(This one did! I am trying to guess which option you—oh, how foolish of me! Poll options updated.)

Personal irony: I almost married the lady who first introduced me to Courbet. She was classy, a stunner in an evening dress. We spent hours day and night discussing poetry, ballet,^* and classical music; and she was a living enclopaedia of art history.

She herself had posed nude for her own figure-drawing class at university, when she was an undergrad. And she didn’t have a problem with Courbet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5293897.0)

Yes, I have some regrets. She would have been optimal for the production of heirs.

In your fantasy, I bet. I almost married the girl who introduced me to Limp Bizkit, Jaegerbombs and anal sex. She was an unclassy stunner in some pink velour sweatpants with 'juicy' printed on the arse. We spent hours, day and night, discussing fine literature like 50 Shades of Grey, pole dancing and classic nu metal. She was the living encyclopaedia of the Kardashians and the fine works of Banksy. She even posed nude for PlayBoy's Amateur Sluts of the month section and came in 23rd place that year! Roll Eyes

Where's the barf emoji? You sound like one of those unsufferables who pretends to like things they think posh people do just to sound cultured, cos posh people just love classical music, fine wines and entry level 19th-century French painters.

Did she post the images to an unrelated internet message board?

That is conduct unbecoming of a global moderator, especially one who appears to be acting in that rôle as to the subject at hand.

It also shows very poor judgment to make grand pronouncements about the personal lives of total strangers on the Internet, on the basis of nothing but an apparent grudge as of which I was unaware. Jumping to conclusions, from personal dislike: Do you exercise the same judgment in your usages of the trust and moderation systems?

(Incidentally, in an unfinished draft of my reply to cryptohunter and sirazimuth in the “nullius is a c—” thread, I address the point that every intelligent person over the age of thirty knows that an Internet persona conveys only limited information...)

Your “bet” is only safe, because you know that I will not dox myself and spill personal details for the purpose of challenging you to a real bet, and then taking your money.

—On second thought, are you trying to bait me to expose myself for the grand prize of Winning An Internet Argument? You are certainly trying to provoke me.

For the record (i.e., for any n00bs reading this), hilarious’ meme pic casts me in a false light: I have never claimed to hail from the upper classes, or to be rich. To the contrary, I am quite poor. And whatever my complicated background may be, it is none of your business: I rest on the merits of whatever knowledge and culture I may express.
