If you wanna get flamed you have to go and post at [Crunchy Frog’s Welcome Wagon](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=68583). If you’re a chick you also gotta send him naked pics. Oh, and you suck.😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Death-stalker \* > \*\*everyone say hi > _waits to get flamed_ \*\* We don’t flame in this forum, that’s for the Pit. If you want some abuse in MPSIMS, though I’m sure that can be arranged. And I refuse to say hi, because I’m rebellious and you’re not the boss of me. ---

I’ll skip the ‘Hi’ and go right on to the flaming. How _ **DARE** _ you order around well-respected members of this venerable community on your very first post, you wet behind the ears-little runt of a Doper wannabe? Showing a little respect, with a healthy dose of subservience, would do you a world of good? Now go to your room and meditate on this for a while. ---
