Wow! Where this that come from? Dude, you seem to have a personal problem with me. I’m not taking this to another thread because that’s _not_ what I’m expressing and you’re putting words into my mouth. I’m reporting _you_ to the another moderators. I’ve complied with your requests, and if you have a personal problem or a nerve has been touched just because you don’t like the facts, then, you should communicate with me directly and drop the sarcasm. You’re taking my response to you as a personal attack, _and_ leaving it here in GQ. **As a moderator especially, you should be ashamed.**

I’ve been here as long as you have, and my behavior has always been condoned by the other moderators and I contribute positively to this site. I tried to keep this light-hearted _specifically for you_ while providing cites. It seems obvious that you’re not satsfied with the cite – hey, that happens, but if you don’t like a cite, then rather than employing sarcasm, a professional, moderator-like response would be to ask me to clarify my cites if you can’t interpret them yourself.

Paranoid much?  
Your prose were pretty darn purple.  
The thread was moving along nicely, until you injected them.  
Now it’s fucked.  
Take a little responsibility, why dontcha?
