Well no. I mean, have you actually just sat down with them and been up front and talked to them about it? Though there’s no way they are going to change, so you may as well just accept that and move on. ---

There are no stupid questions and there are no foolish things. Everything you do is a learning experience being given to you by God and his girlfriend The Universe in order to make you a better person. So relax, God loves you and has a perfect plan for you. Unfortunately, his girlfriend The Universe is a bitch and she keeps deliberately misinterpreting it and making it harder for you. ---

You don’t come to the Board to say you did Something Foolish. You come here to say that other people are complaiing you did Something Foolish, and wonder whether that can be true, because you just don’t see it. Then when posters advise you that you did, indeed, do Something Foolish you either a) never post again or b) post repeatedly that you can’t understand why it was Something Foolish. You then attempt to explain what you did by adding more details, which confirm that you not only did Something Foolish, but also incredibly mean-spirited and probably illegal. After that you get yourself BANNED when the Mods discover you are in fact not someone who did Something Foolish, but a 12-year old boy who has posted the same thing to numerous other message boards. ---

Have you tried repeating your issues in **BIG BOLD** letters, or maybe adding **SOME COLOR** for emphasis? Maybe consider suing whoever you think is tangentially responsible (that’s not you, of course)? ---

> [@Munch](#): > > Maybe consider suing whoever you think is tangentially responsible (that’s not you, of course)? Oh totally! Sue the place in which you did the foolish thing on the basis that they didn’t have social pysch majors on hand to prevent you from acting foolishly. ---
