Please end this now. If you have a problem with **Stoid** , please avail yourself of the BBQ Pit. If you’d like to discuss polygamy, you may continue to do so here. Failure to follow this instruction will result in official warnings for not only **Guinastasia** but anyone else who fails to heed this reminder.

You’re right, **Ellen** – **Stoid** , I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought all that crap up. I have no excuse for doing so, and it was uncalled for.  
I still, however, stand by what I said about polygamy, at least in the instances we’re speaking of here.
