Yep, pretty much. I have other issues with **brickbacon** , because I’ve seen him try to justify dishonesty and cheating. BUT…you are right, I shouldn’t have brought them into this thread. I’m sorry. I highly doubt **START** gives two shits about this right now. ---

I realize what **Guinastasia** was getting at. If she really felt it was inappropriate to drop the thread for the time being she wouldn’t have felt the need to get one more zinger out first. ---

I typed out my response before I read that. I wouldn’t have submitted it if I had seen it. ---

How is saying cheating isn’t the big deal it is made out to be justification? How many times do I have to say it is wrong for it get through your thick skull? ---

Plus, how pathetic is it that you have “issues” with someone on an internet messageboard. This isn’t real life. You don’t even know me. The fact that you could even remember something like that, and describe your disagreement with my comments as “issues” shows you have a problem. You should really go outside more often and get some fresh air. ---

Cool it guys. Please leave **START** alone. He apparently lost his younger brother this morning. [Link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=301951) ---

Even though the issues **START** posed as the OP are still being discussed, they can’t really be separted from him as a poster. This is a very unusual situation but I’m locking off this thread in light of the tragic death in his family. He can’t be expected to respond to this thread under the circumstances so better just to put it to bed. Closed.
