Since I can’t agree with what any poster in this thread has said up to this point I must, with a heavy heart, withdraw my endorsement of this thread and refuse to participate in it in any way, shape, form, leprechaun, small furry animals or crazed aliens. _looks around_ Stop that! Stop that cheering! Stop I say! -XT ---

Yeah, yeah, you’re all having a laugh and all, but why can’t you moderators for once just \*admit \*that every time a struggling \*Christian \*signs up you decide to fuck him up by moving his threads around? I never saw a struggling hindu get \*his \*threads moved around, or a muslim. I won’t rest until Marley apologize to the world and until I see Czarcasm rolling himself in ashes. You targeting guys, I ought to… create lots of threads in ATMB. Then you’ll see. ---
