There should be one of these 😃 after the last sentence of my last post. I swear to god, I have the attention to detail of a coked-up hamster. ---

Off to the Pit. I hate to say this, but … Satan **has** posted several thousand times. He’s just done so over the course of several months, is all. (And, yes, Satan does probably have some time on his hands. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be posting to a message board. Like me. Or Federalist. Or any of the other posters here.) ---

True enough. However, in the context of the thread–in which Fed repeatedly snipes at Satan for posting too much–it was obviously an insult, and the same one that started this whole flamewar (although Satan definitely overreacted, IMHO). It’s like someone calling someone an idiot for 5 posts, being told not to insult, and then making some comment about “perhaps you need some help understanding this post?” Fairly innocuous by itself, but clearly a jab if you’re aware of the previous incidents. I am not required to make myself artifically stupid so as to not see what Fed was intending to express by his remark. ---
