> Can you be the poster to, finally, cite where Marley gave instructions that I was to follow that included how I was not to disagree with Bricker’s description of my own words? Because, of course, I did follow the actual moderation. And I haven’t argued that I didn’t have to.

Here it is. The first post you linked to in your OP, oddly enough. If you can’t see that it says stop pointlessly arguing with **Bricker** , then you’re not reading in English.

> **FinnAgain** , enough already. You are being unnecessarily rude and your comments about other posters have little to no basis in reality. I thought **Bricker** ’s summary of the situation (post #41) was accurate, and your last few posts have added a lot of unnecessary vitriol to this thread. Restrain yourself.

If I’ve missed any subtle nuance in any of your posts that would explain precisely why you failed to comprehend this, it’s because I’m only off work until Monday afternoon, and don’t have time to read every word you’ve written. If you killed off a few major characters every now and then, you’d give George R R Martin a run for his money.
