jodih, when did loverock post ANYTHING that required a serious response? He didn’t attack. He didn’t pretend to ask a question, then attack people that gave answers he didn’t agree with. He didn’t post harassing questions impuning the reputations of others.  
He was silly. Period.

By the way, I confess.  
I did the silly poem, melin. If I offended, I sincerely am very sorry.

You didn’t “offend” at all with the poem, don’t worry about that, that’s not the issue. Stunts like “loverock” can be funny for a couple of days – on slow days anyway 😉 – but they get old after awhile. You gotta know when to fold 'em, y’know?

I do appreciate you all staying out of MPSIMS after I posted there that as far I was concerned the joke had run its course.

Like all heroes, loverock is best appreciated dead.

How do you know that others are using it?

Sorry Connie. My “loverock” post came AFTER you guessed my name. Hee hee.

Ah, so not only does it admit it _was_ loverock, after all; it admits it did it for a juvenile, paranoid, crybaby reason (“The moderators told me not to do something! Waaaaaaaaah!”), and it actually accused others of doing it.

Are you ever going to grow up?
