> [@Mr\_Shine](#): > > No, you’re the one who’s come in and polluted our forum. You don’t get to refuse to leave a party you’re not welcome at just because they’ve approached you in a corner of the house you’ve decided is “yours”. Use proper English or fuck off. Jesus fucking Christ! “our forum”. Look shitballs this isn’t your fucking moms basement where only you and your two nerdy friends get to decide who is and isn’t allowed to come down and drink pop and play DnD pretending your female elf characters are your real girlfriends. If you don’t like that this is a public board then start your own and ban the rest of the world besides your 37 cats. ---
