Yup, he answered you **Meatros** and you only asked once. Me, I’m just chopped liver. ::😭::

Argghh. That is a blatant lie. I’ve met you, and I can state for a fact that you are **not** chopped liver, nor any other foodstuff.

Lies like this are _dangerous._ Kids may believe you and, thinking you are chopped liver, attempt to bite you. The kids will likely get hurt, and you may get an infection.

Are you really willing to risk all that for a stupid joke??!

:mad:

I’m starting to wonder if **BZ00000** is related to **Ryan\_Liam**?

Take my wife…

…

Please.

OK, I won’t say my wife’s fat, but she’s the only woman I know.

I mean, she’s the only woman I know.

Yeah, it’s hard to earn respect around here when you persist in behaving like a total barking loon.

Worried you get no respect?

Get over yourself already.

Respect is something you need to earn around here sunshine, and from the looks of things all you seem to be doing is digging yourself deeper and deeper into a hole. Stepping on the _wrong_ toes. Pissing off the _wrong_ people.

It would appear you have taken to starting numerous threads, many with extremely pointless and childish content.

You want respect? Post something of interest and intellect, not just whatever fuzzy thought may be floating at the top of the pile at any given moment.

that _almost_ makes it sound like there’s a clique. Let’s face it, we’re **all** the wrong people to piss off.

**BZ,** the thing you need to do to get a litle respect around here is to stop being such a little _chapeau derriere._\*

I do have another question for you, one that I 've asked before. One that is hard to phrase without sounding insulting and one that, no matter how you answer will get you in trouble. Anyway, here goes:  
Are you really this stupid or are you pulling our collective legs?

I suspect that the OP is not stupid, merely a devotee of mind games.
