Maybe I shouldn’t have responded how I have. But if memory serves, the only antagonism apart from the OP were to people who were antagonizing me in this thread first. It’s not personal, it’s just because you’re a massive fucking retard. No offense. 🙂 ---

I think the OP should go to the Debate and Discussion forum on Something Awful. They’re all about what he does. Seriously, you definitely won’t get mocked and chain-probated. ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > Spock: “How will playing cards help?” Spock, follow my lead. On, er, Beta Antares IV, they play a real game. It’s a man’s game, but, of course, probably a little beyond you. It requires intelligence. The name of the game is called, uh… fizzbin. ---

> [@Munch](#): > > No, it started back when I put him on ignore. Only a few have escaped the wrath of my ignore list. Honest question, but too mundane for ATMB: If you put him on ignore, and he wrote the OP, how do you even see the thread? ---

You just made my head explode, introducing a new thought like that. My magic has probably gone away… You’re an asshole. I hope you’re satisfied. Maybe we’ll get back to you, **Munch**.
