The right verb is fleece.

you can't fleece sheep though; fleece is the result of the activity, which is called sheering. Also, There is no recognized analogue for the "sheering" description to mean "taking advantage of the disadvantaged," as there is for "milking" (and yes, you very well can milk sheep and it is very common; where would the world be without lovely pecorino fresco!?)
milking is "the action upon the animal," so it's the proper verb. :colbert:

I obviously don't get the humor in this. Would the mods please agree to cancel my membership if they believe I am out of line.

Well, you can definitely tell his age....

Current generation says "I find that offensive - BAN everyone else that doesn't agree with me!"

Swing and a miss. That's what happens when you're blinded by bias.

He's been a member since 2001.

Were he a Gen Zer he'd have been 5 when he joined at the oldest.

He might be a Millennial, except looking at his old posts he definitely was not a teen in 2001.

He's a genXer or boomer.

And this whole narrative is fucking rich coming from the side that used the "Moral Majority" and "Focus on the Family" or just "murica! to ban/cancel/boycott anything they didn't like for 4 decades.

Wut? Thanks for proving my point?

Also forum join date != age.

OH! See, I was busy fleshing out my post because I knew you'd be too fucking dense to understand basic math and logic.

Turns out I was right...

Anyhow, edited post:

And you're simply too moronic to have even read/understood what I was saying in the first place lol.

Nice try - you want to keep digging your grave further child?

So when you said "current generation" you didn't actually mean "current generation?"

Huh?

This is weak. Even for you. Just admit you didn't look at his join date and assumed he was young.

Nope. You're just misunderstanding. Here is his OP that I quoted:

He is clearly asking to be banned.

The joke was that the current generation asks for EVERYONE ELSE to be banned when something is offensive. Hence, he is an older fellow - younger kids are ignorant twats that call for banning of anything that disagrees with their opinion.
