Uh huh. _…ask your doctor if Luvox[sup]TM[/sup] is right for you…_ It’s been a while since we had to remind anyone of this rule but publicly accusing someone of being a sock puppet is a board no-no, Boney. If you have suspicions, please email a mod or admin with your concerns. In fact, I just cleared out my email account in anticipation of the massive amount of evidence you apparently have regarding your as yet unfounded accusation. I look forward to either you backing up your claims or you keeping your intangibale paranoia to yourself. Thanks a pant load. [Edited by Alphagene on 06-16-2001 at 10:11 PM] ---

As in your usual way, you are protecting your title to King of Smears. I never said andros was a sock, only that he knows much more than he has said (except via email to moi). And I certainly never said he was a troll. YOU were the one who claimed I said that, but your claim is wholly false. In fact, I took the position that none of the Alphabet names were trolls. They were never trollish in any respect. That impression was one YOU improbably fostered. Hope your nanny can fix your pantload. ---
