I was sitting in my back yard one Saturday afternoon when my neighbor came running over. “Quick” he yelled, " I need you to fire up the BBQ and put some pork on it." “What’s the hurry I asked?” “Mohammad has his windows open” he responded. ---

This board always amazes me…here we are in the middle of a pit thread, and we’ve got people doing SCIENCE and posting educational links. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the idea that [this grill](http://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2013/12/05/weber-seville-chariot-blue/) was once available for purchase. ---

By Broomsticks own narrative she is impervious to bullying. As a matter of fact, you white knights better watch your femurs, because she doesn’t take kindly to being underestimated. Just ask the gang of thugs hired to put a hit on her. ---

Oh, and for the record, saying something negative about someone isn’t bullying. Get a grip. ---

I’m siding with the reasonable people who don’t think **Broomstick** ’s stories rise to a level above friendly chiding and are rolling their eyes at how vociferous some of the completely inappropriate hatred is. This thread shows me that perhaps some people devote too much time and emotion to this board, and I’m speaking as a guy who signs in when I get home from work and signs out when I go to bed. When you have ME telling you to get a life, it shows how pathetic you are. ---

When you have ME telling you to get a life, it shows how pathetic you are. No, it shows how pathetic you are. Calling out **Broomie** on her lies is not “vociferous inappropriate hatred.” The fact that you think it is only demonstrates that you need to get a life. ---

But harassing her, stalking her, and starting numerous threads about her "lies’ is Internet Bullying. And, she’s _harmless._ She’s not some denier or some birther or other dangerous kook trying to spread _dangerous l_ies and _misinformation_. ---
