When it comes down to it, everyone does stupid shit, so there is NO ONE in the second group.

I quite value the fact that a large percentage of board fucknuggetry passes me by. There’s nothing more relaxing than forgetting about a particularly idiotic poster moments after he’s banned.

By that standard, **Cesario** should never have been pitted. I mean, he only had “an interest”…

The weirdest pit I’ve seen yet.

**Argent** keep asking your questions. No one with any sense cares whether you have a particular focus of interest, but you do often ask some damn interesting questions.

You’re among friends, **Red.** No need for euphemisms like “see.”

However retarded I may be, I still dont keep a list of people who annoy me on the internet. At least I can take comfort in that.

I’m not exactly sure why that is comforting to you, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Don’t know about you but I find necrophilia overrated – the hip action is atrocious!

I think if he just asked questions about it no one would care but he has actively defended the Rhodesian régime on numerous occasions. That’s his prerogative too I know but it’s still a tad odd.
