No, that's incorrect -- you have heard my complaint. And I would tend to
think that it counts as much as any other persons complaint. [Remember Todd,
I am on Lugnet based on your specific and personal invitation and despite my
fiery writing style.]
At http://www.lugnet.com/dear-lego/?n=2007, Mike states:

"Stuff 'em" is a variant of "Stuff it."
stuff it Vulgar Slang.
Used as an intensive to express extreme anger, frustration, or disgust.

But just to be sure, I asked someone what it meant:

So if Tom and I can be banned for mere vulgarity, so can Mike. Isn't that
fair?
I say all three of us, or none of us. Anything else is you just choosing up
favorites.
Ine the meanwhile, I am going to post below what I responded to Mike's post as
mentioned above:

So in reality, we agree -- you just don't like my word choice, rhetorical
style, or syntax?
Sheeesh!!!
And I did say it was a "generous gesture." I don't know why you are so mad
about it. I'm sure everyone appreciates it a lot.
> So take your snide remarks about favoritism and elitism and whatever else and

Well, no, there we would have to disagree!
But BTW, I did not introduce the terms "elitism" or "elitist" into this
discussion. In fact, it was either yourself or Poindexter -- I can't recall
which. Y'all have Richard confusions, and I have Mike ones. Sorry.
