I’m not on your back, sweetie. You posted it here for all to see. Don’t be surprised if people respond. What did you expect?

I’ve tried to be polite about it at least.

Yes, everyone here is so pure of heart that they never wished something bad to happen to someone who did them wrong and can’t possibly concieve of ever thinking such a thing. :rolleyes:

No kidding. Talk about “Holier-than-thou”! Cripes.

I can’t help but notice that your wish machine took several years before making your wish come true. I can only hope that you’ve worked out some of the bugs and can deliver wishes on a slightly brisker timetable? Not to be greedy or anything, but time’s a-wastin’!

And, yeah, I think I saved the button. I’m kind of a pack rat.

Thinking it…maybe…in fact, most certainly. Posting it on a public message board then wondering why people find it odd…nah.

I guess I just assume life is full of too many things to enjoy to let someone make you waste such energy on hating them and rejoicing in their downfall.

To each his own. 🙂

All right, that will do.

The OP was on the edge of what we normally allow. Yeah, we frown on wishing death on someone, but the poster at hand seemed to show at least a bit of reflection. But, **extendidwarranty** , you lost all that credit with your last post. Personal insults are NOT permitted in MPSIMS. Consider this an official warning.

**Eleusis** , don’t call other people trolls. Report the post. Which you did prior to calling the OP a troll, so why you felt the need to comment anyway is beyond me.
