Talk:Frank Simmons (Stargate)

message: I removed the line that claimed that Simmons rarely followed military protocol, citing his frequent civilian attire and the fact that he was rarely deferential to Gen Hammond as examples. This really doesn't prove anything. There are several organizations within the Air Force (the Office of Special Investigations and the Air Force Reserve come to mind) whose members routinely wear civilian clothes while on duty, and also several organizations (OSI and the Inspector General's office come to mind) whose members are instructed to disregard rank in the course of their duties/investigations, as following rank (esp. showing deference to superior ranks) can have a severe impediment on their duties.

message: The Parody section contains the sentence
    Nicholas fondles Alisoun's "queynte", a noun, while Absolom is described after his humiliation as having his ardour "yqueynt" or quenched.
Rather than defining "queynte", just as the same sentence does for "yqueynt", it uses the parenthetical "a noun" (something that should already be obvious from the sentence, even without knowing what the word means). Here, "a noun" only serves as a euphemism to cover for defining the word as "cunt". This parenthetical (ie, "a noun") should be replaced with an actual definition, if not with the words "her cunt" then something less strong like "her genitalia". However, as Wikipedia has the policy of no euphemisms and a policy of no censorship, I would suggest "her cunt" as the appropriate parenthetical definition at this point in the sentence in question. — al-Shimoni (talk) 03:20, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
