Seriously dude, how many snide comments need to be posted in threads before you take the hint? Your posts look like a myspace page from a 13 year old girl that just discovered them. That shit might fly at the My Little Pony message board, but you stand out here. Please. Please. Stop. ---

Emoticons are the least of his problems. The guy is either a whiny, psychotic bigot, a troll, or both. ---

The first person that posts emoticons in reply to this thread is really just copping out on original thought. It’s just too easy. It’d be pretty fucking funny on a My Little Pony message board though. ---
