For someone who has had a couple of posting spats since January, I don’t think you get to play the “Be kind, I’m new here” card any more.

No it isn’t.
Look, if I argue with you I must take up a contrary position.
Thank you! Your five minutes is up.
That was never 5 minutes just now!
When I argue with myself, I don’t listen. That bitch never shuts up.
I try to avoid arguing with myself because I’m very persuasive and awfully gullible.
I gave up arguing with myself because that goddamn sumnamabitch is always right!
I found this gem from our sleeper troll in a thread titled **Your top three “bring the show back” (+ Explanation as to why) **
