Don’t be a LIAR. Your post happened a few hours after mine did. I’m not stupid. I know I sparked the thread and a mod told me you (via PM) you reported me in the same thread that sparked that. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE OFFENDED, but don’t fucking tell me you’re doing it because of lesbians.

I can say whatever I want. If mods don’t like it, BAN ME.

EVERYONE HERE CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES.
