Are you sure the word “prejudiced” means what you think it means?

This one is closed.

I’m pretty frickin’ tired, having been up early and had to work 10 hours today.

No one is geting suspended or banned right now. I’m too tired to make a decent decision.

But, my quick reaction is— **Rand Rover** –don’t do this.

Trolling is such a subtle thing, sometimes. Some posters are blatant, some are very subtle.

If I’ve maligned you unfairly, I’ll make it right. I might have to read all this tomorrrow night after work. But it’ll shake out.

Get some sleep, everyone. That’s it for tonight. Closed.
