Sorry to see the OP go, you seemed like one of the more reasonable posters on this board - come back soon! > [@C\_K\_Dexter\_Haven](#): > > MODERATOR INTERJECTION: **stpauler** , I assume this is meant to be a joke, but it’s still insulting and as such not permitted in this forum. (You not giving two shits is not the problem, but “random bitch” is.) I agree it’s border-line, but you know better, and please don’t do this again. I know this wasn’t a warning, so it’s a no harm no foul kind of thing, but my reading of this was **stpauler** explaining what the term “Felicia” (used by another poster) meant to someone who asked, not **stpauler** ragging on the OP. So had it been a warning, I would have argued for it to be rescinded. ---

He provided the link to explain his own usage of the term, directed at the OP, in post #14. ---

So had it been a warning, I would have argued for it to be rescinded. I should’ve found a better definition for the term or changed it to “random person” like this one. My fault for just grabbing the first one: > [@](#): > > [“Bye Felicia” is what Smokey and Craig say to get rid of Felicia in the movie Friday. Felicia keeps dropping by asking for stuff, because that’s what crackheads do.

If you clicked the link, **stpauler** was directly quoting the introductory line of the Urban Dictionary entry and not directly addressing **drewtwo99** or implying that he is a bitch. So in post 14, he essentially called DrewTwo99 a “bothersome, pesky crackhead” and that you have “no more energy to give to his foolishness”. Which is why Dex’s note was correct. ---

Yeah, I missed that **stpauler** made the “Bye, Felicia” comment in the first place. So you guys (and **Dex** ) are correct. ---

Which is why Dex’s note was correct. Who knows what you’re trying to say here because your use of pronouns is all over the place per the bolded quote above. But really? Is that what I REALLY did? No. Here’s another definition for this common slang phrase: > [@](#): > > [It’s a phrase for telling someone to get out/leave/I’m done with you, and I’m pretty sure it’s from the movie Friday](http://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1v8eki/why_did_bye_felicia_suddenly_become_so_popular/) :rolleyes: ---

**stpauler** : you’re just digging yourself in deeper. You brought up “Felicia”, presumably pointing at the OP, and that’s insulting (as per all your explanations.) So, drop it. ---
