Doesn't it depend on whether the other member IS a ---meecrob--- ?

And you're questioning whether or not people made personal attacks on Foley?   :dunno

I'll save you some trouble:  they did.  A lot.  Then they did it more.

--cream-filled twinkie--.

--cream-filled twinkie--.

I think the second one is a personal attack, while the first is a kinder gentler version of "idiot ::) ".  Or maybe it's an "I'm riding a horse on the beach" version.  Or a "not so fresh" version.

Meh.

---meecrob---.

I think it matters how long the member has been here and how you would take that comment depending on what you know of that member and the member being called that. At the point i have been here it is just a word used in the p and r section and loses some meaning after awhile among older members.

If ---meecrob--- is replaced, it should be replaced with "not-so-fresh feeling" or "riding horsies on the beach"

I have neve heard that one. It doesn't sound very insulting though.

BTW apart from smeghead I also like "queef" as an insult.
