Ok, ok, everybody. I’m really sorry. I’ve been a little bit of a jerk lately, leading up to my suspension. That was not just, but was probably using the joke thread rule as a thinly veiled excuse. That’s okay. I promise to be good and play nice from now on. Do not think that the past few weeks indicate any long term pattern. Working nonstop for weeks on projects and exams tends to stress one out. Anybody who wants to come just to say “Yeah, you’re a jerk, an idiot and a fucking moron” isn’t welcome. ---

It was weird seeing suspended under your name. I kept picturing you (not that I can) suspended from the ceiling or in suspended animation. Glad you have a member again. 😉 ---

Yeah, you’re a jerk, an idiot and a fucking moron, but hey, so am I. Well, not the idiot part, or the moron part either. But close enough. I like the art though, I hope we see more of it from you soon. ---

Ilsa, I feel exactly the same way as you do. I do tutoring for money, and yesterday I think I got a bit snippety with two of my students, which I felt extremely bad about. I apologized today of course, but not before the father of a student had a talk with me about how his son was a very poor math student and how I should be more patient. -\_-; ---

Of course, I could be completely wrong about the “fucking lizards” part. Maybe it only gets as far as dinner and a show. ---

Funny thing is, only you and a few other people seem to think that and fell the need to say in all of my threads. Not to mention that I’m done with that part of the fucking project anyway. It’s all data now. So fuck yourself and get out of my feel-good thread. ---
