I’m not about to wade through the rest of that crap – is it still “Pro bono is your responsibility” “No it’s not – it’s voluntary” “No, it isn’t” “Yes it is”…blah blah blah? ---

No, you idiot, I’m referring to the post I just quoted. You know, the one I quoted. And then responded to. After the quote. So that any reasonable person could infer that I was talking about that post. Which I quoted. Tard. > [@](#): > > Resolved: Retards with over eight thousand posts check word counts because they are insecure and like furries. Good thing I just pulled a hyperbolic number out of my ass, then, eh? It’s okay; I know you’re jealous that my job is awesome enough that they don’t care if I fuck around online as long as my work gets done. > [@bucketybuck](#): > > They dont like furries. Nobody likes furries. Not even furries like furries. Why do you think they’re constantly wearing full-body suits and drawing animalized versions of themselves? > [@Yookeroo](#): > > Is this the pro bono thread? I almost clicked on that one, but then noticed it was **Rand Rover** and figured it was a trainwreck waiting to happen. Is there a brick wall anywhere nearby? Walk over and slam your head into it at least a half-dozen times. That’s the pro bono thread, only more productive and less painful. ---
