Manny Peoples tell me it is.

Fenris, who wasn’t around for Manny Peoples, but has heard the _really_ olde tymers ( **Hi Opal** 😃 ) talk about him with horror.

For some reason, I find that offensive. Can’t quite put my finger on why…

Well, when I get a clue myself, then I’ll know.

[mutter, mutter… can’t believe I wasn’t flamed in the OP. Must. Post. Worser… mutter, mutter]

I am also so disappointed that no one has posted anything like “my cat’s breath smell like apple treats.” I mean, come on!

I, the eternal clueless, have some questions:

Who is ItShut up?  
Why is he been pitted?  
And why hasn’t he shown his sorry ass here and give us a well deserved explanation?

I bet he’s a newbie. The nerve!

Actually, I think I’ve got a legitimate question or two for **appletreats**. This is the only message board I know of where direct insults are not permitted outside of one forum and you’re calling _us_ mean? Have you seen other message boards?

I admit we have been know to eat our own, but only after they’ve been warned and passed up a chance or three to return. Just look at all the breaks **Justhink** was given, although he may be an extreme example.
