It was a great big, garish abomination and I for one am glad to see the back of it. If you want to do a link to a site and put it in your sig, do it like this: [Link](http://www.yahoo.com) Other than that, welcome to the boards. Seriously, we could use more people who are knowledgable about Islam on these boards. ---

I didn’t erase anything of your post. I posted something irrelevant and basically told you to shut your piehole, hoping you would get the hint. Clearly, you didn’t. Incidentally, at no point has your sig EVER been half a line on my computer. It’s been this gigantic, garish, bold colored nonsense on my screen. It’s too bad, really. If you really wanted to engage in an honest discussion about anything, all you had to do was cut out the ads, which are more obnoxious than anything else, and ask your question. Oh well. Since you’re about to be tossed outta here, it’s of no consequence anyway. After you’re gone, you’ll have plenty of time to find a hobby, since you spend so much time here being obnoxious. I’m sure you’ll be back, though. You bozos never go away. You just multiply. Still, one more bubblehead bites the dust. Buh-bye, now. We will remember you with fondness. :rolleyes: ---

**TalkAboutIslam** I really can’t tell if the attack on you is justified since I haven’t read any of the other threads. So, I will just say happy Ramadan to you. Honey ---

Actually, **Witch** , that line was from _South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut_. It was ignorant and irrelevant, but given what’s going on in this thread, completely appropriate. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > it is not the form or size of my signature that was a problem, but rather the content of the site behind the link… Oh, you want to talk about the content of your site, do you? This was enough for me (thanks so much, **chula** ): > [@](#): > > Edited by Moderator to suit religious and social truths. As far as persuading SDMBers of anything at all, I can predict a success rate of approximatly 0% if your board really says that, and, having checked myself, indeed it does. To my utter amazement. I hope that Moderator’s attitude doesn’t reflect on Islam, or Islam is in worse trouble than I thought. But I don’t mean to start a real discussion here. Clearly, you’re not worth it. Bye now. ---

I knew what it was from Airman heh. 😉 I’m just getting tired of seeing all the nice, patient, obliging people get stomped on. He came in here completely primed for battle, and when he was greeted with courtesy and helpfulness, it didn’t lessen his persecution complex one iota. ---

I’m curious as to how soon after TAI’s banning (if it happens) that ol’ TAI posts on that other board how he got banned because folks here hate Islam. ---
