That is pretty swell.

**GODDAM IT: OFFICIAL MODERATOR WARNING!!! TWEET, BANG, FUCK, SHIT, AND ANYTHING ELSE TO GET SOME ATTENTION!!!**

**Seven** : Does this have anything whatsoever to do with the issue at hand? Or is this just a way of being snide and snarky in ATMB? The idea is to have civil and reasonably polite discussion about topics and possibilities. You’re over the line here, yet again. Making fun of a name when a poster has explicitly asked that you not, that’s just being a jerk.

This thread has run its course. Yes, I know, it was originally a question of whether I had closed another thread prematurely. There’s nothing premature about this closing, this thread no longer has a topic and no longer seems to have civil discussion.
