Your nose is sensitive enough to pick out marginal trace elements to such a degree that you should register it as a medical implement. Talking of which, I recommend you find a good NICU - it seems to be the only environment in which you can survive. Bye. ---

The OP expressed no fond memories of _me_, so screw him on that basis alone. Well, plus his complaint about Stormfront-like behaviour is asinine. ---

I’m posting mostly to express amazement that I was namechecked. :D\* (FTR, he and she are both perfectly acceptable, if anyone wishes to refer to me in future. Zie and they are both also fine.) But, yeah, I’m kind of surprised this was the ‘write us off’ post…way, way worse has come up in other threads…Maybe it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back, I unno… - Speaking of being here FOREVER, anyone else remember when we first changed software, and got the new smileys, and people were complaining that this fella was racist? ---

Is it just me, or does it seem odd to anyone else that the OP would get worked up to the point where he/she is going to leave the board about a thread he didn’t even bother to post in? ---

> [@Kimstu](#): > > For Pete’s sake, it actually **is** a seriously disputed question whether or not Israel’s policy of house demolition is an illegitimate form of collective punishment. I know it’s totally off-topic but dispute is only by Israeli State officials. There is no dispute that any collective punishment is generally, an illegitimate form of punishment under any conditions. They even had a law that made Palestinians actually pay for the costs of their house being demolished. So, yeah, there is no dispute in a “normal” part of the World and I totally expect officials and/or agents of State of Israel to argue otherwise. Seriously, of course. ---
