Why do you care what anyone thinks? If you wanna pony up, pony up. Try to be less of an ass, though.

I love how this innocuous thread was moved to the Pit within _one minute_ of it being posted.

Wow, **Frank** , your powers of clairvoyance astound.

Curious–if this thread continues to run smoothly, does it get moved back to IMHO?

Oh, and to the OP–sure, join up! I don’t hate you. 🙂

No, I’m afraid you’re a half-inch too short. Sorry.

Who gives a discarded condom if we think you should or not? What do you think you should do?

It’s my opinion that you’re the most aggressive troll to join this board in a while. So, if you ask me, you won’t last long if you do join, unless you make more of an effort to learn the local culture. So yes, do join–the board needs the dough–but remember you don’t get a refund if you’re banned, and frankly I think if you continue as you have been the odds are fairly high.

Hey, I’ll give a discarded condom, if someone really wants it.

Does it really matter what the masses vote? Will you count the tally and go with the majority?  
I’m not sure of your motivations to poll a group of people when you seem to have gone out of your way to piss off. It’s pretty obvious that you’re going to whatever you want anyhow.  
So you have two options open, you pay up or you don’t. I don’t see anyone rolling out the welcome mat, but you seem more of a backdoor fellow anyhow.
