> Uh, I’m 23 and **Zsofia** is 30, so I hardly think that the wagons are circling. **msmith37** is basically like a real life version of the guys on The League. “Upper middle class white guy cocky about the low six figures he makes.” Shit, I think I just wrote an Onion headline. Not everyone finds the “guy’s guy” popular or even tolerable.

I hate when the lowest, most caveman-like beliefs get casually tossed around this board like we’re all at $1 well drink night at the Cantina.
