> [@sentrix](#): > > nah. > > it was a gang rape of a poor defenless AUSTRALIAN. ffs Hi **sentrix**. I’m a fellow Australian who has not been gang raped by the scary Americans on this board (yet). Really, I think you’re asking for it when you post drunk. Take the stream of consciousness that is your OP for example. It was poetry night at the pub, right? Now I’m just as eager as the next Australian to jump on the diss-America bandwagon, but I also recognize that we Australians have a tendency to gripe about other countries, probably because it makes us feel better about ourselves. This attitude is antithetical to learning and growth. (The anti-intellectual streak in Australian society is actually something we share in common with the US.) Anyway. I suggest you limit yourself to one beer before posting. Observe the conventions of English writing. Take the chip off your shoulder. And stop behaving like a victim. And don’t fret about being molested by horny Americans. Seriously, the only thing we have that turns them on is our sexy accents, which don’t really carry over very well in text. ---

> [@sentrix](#): > > then i got two mod warnings, ‘hey dude, mod hat on, mod hat off’ some such thing. Just a point of fact: You have received no Warnings from anyone on this board. Now, you may have received a Mod Note–an instruction from a Mod that your behavior was less than appropriate or advice from a Mod that, if followed, will make your visit more pleasant–but no actual Warnings (that lead to banning) appear in your profile. Since you failed to link to the posts from the Mods, we are not actually able to tell whether those notes were overreactions or truly deserved. (And if you see your cousin, archy, say “Hi” for me.) ---

I find it amusing that **sentrix** starts a thread titled “humiliating the sensitive” about over-sensitivity, and then proceeds to be over-sensitive. She even started an ATMB thread about people “abusing” her. **sentrix** ,get over your bad self, OK?
