Is it just me, or are the mods ratcheting things up? Pointing out that abandoning someone in the mud is a dick move is a personal insult? Wtf? Taking the other said and saying you’d have to be a moron to pick up a known fraudster from the road is also a personal insult? Wtf?! Is it a personal insult to say you’d have to be an idiot to eat spaghetti? Is anyone here eating spaghetti? Anyone? ---

Given that this thread has gone so far off the rails, I am closing it. If anyone wants to re-open another thread in General Questions regarding the specific legal questions, they may do so. If anyone wishes to discuss my moderation, they may do so in ATMB.
