Why? What is special about you that we should do as you bid?

I’m guessing that you are about 17 or 18 and are used to interacting with adults who have some sort of obligation to deal with you, such as your parents or teachers.

If you are something other than a simple troll, and have the tiniest bit of interest in an actual dialog, you’ll find some interesting people here.

But that’s a big if.

My guess is that you’re trolling and will continue to push the envelope until getting banned.

It’s called _nitpicking_.

Mate is actually British slang. As for criticizing you about capitalizing letters some people are just pedantic about things like that.

Are you called **sentrix** “toujour gai”?

BTW my new earworm is the Johnny Merceresque “You got to hu-mi-li-ate the sensitive” so thanks for that.

He is a dead mod. But there is life after modding.

what were you expecting from a newbie?

pole dancing and rocket science? doomed to disappointment. i’m not looking to look down into your eyes and have a meaningful cyber nod from you or anyone else here. obviously this board has many seasoned players who have seen it all.

stellar?

you’re in it for entertainment same as we all are. information exchange, a few laughs.

i like the guy’s nic and comments. intelligent. rather refreshing.
