Do you LIVE on this board?🙂 Third, I see you have already mastered the post specific link masked within a word. That is a black belt 8th degree posting skill. I sense wu tan training. Have you stolen the secrets from our masters?🙂 [sub]See? I notice the little things!!![/sub] ---

I didn’t think my capacity for badness was all that hidden. I thought it was out in the open for all to admire and envy. ---

Poking a stick in the behive _again_, inor? You gotta be stupid to not learn from experience. I’d advise you to drop this right now, and completely. Taunting me will get you nowhere. Ya dig? ---

Jorolat, you should have known better than to question the motives of those associated with the SDMB. All here are committed to the noblest cause, wiping out ignorance. No one is interested in gaining personal recognition or empowerment. There are no egos here. There are only a few rules. Chiefly you are either in the SDMB “in crowd”, or you are not. It would be a complete waste of their time to help eradicate your ignorance in matters of board protocol, as it should just be “known” (or can be researched) and secondly it would cut into valuable “flirt time”. I hope this suit is fire-proof! 🙂 ---

Hey, I’m a _ **person** _ - not a psychologist at all!. (\<-- note the recalcitrant period, you know who I mean… _grin_) Why study other people’s lives when you could be living your own? Some of the replies are very funny indeed!. (\<-- ditto) _smiles_ Jorolat p.s. where do you get those little yellow faces from? ---
