Yes, very harsh. Sorry **Trinopus**. Although I can have as a defence that in my Samsung the device claims that Tinopus is the proper way. 😕 even Google search is not finding what is a Tinopus so WTF was that auto correct for? ---

Androids (or at least Samsung) phones learn new words if you enter them even once, so what happened is you misspelled it as “Tinopus” so it learned it, and then when you went to type “Trinopus” it “corrected” you to the word it learned from you before. ---

**iiandyiiii** consistently makes positive contributions to this board and writes well enough to show that he’s sincerely a good guy. **DerekMichaels00** is boring and his posts seem to be motivated by spoiled mayonnaise. ---

I’m curious as to what the OP thought was going to happen. Perhaps legions of posters would rise up in support of his insane, bigoted posts, agreeing with his condemnation of iiandyiiii, decrying the injustice dm00 has encountered here? Or wad it just "hey i want more attention so I’ll create a thread where everyone can tell me just what a shithead i am? " OP how did you see this pit thread going? ---

Well, as I posted elsewhere on this board, one of my gamer buddies told me to ‘FUCK OFF’ and defriended both myself and another friend over a Hillary post on mutual friend’s FB page. The golden words “You democrats are always trying to force people to be like you!” 😃 It still amazes me how much bigots and assholes will spout their trash and then blow a gasket and get all butthurt when the people around them voice disagree with it. ---

I keep telling myself that the young often have ignorant and ludicrous notions (God knows I did as a teenager) and as they grow older, reading, learning, inwardly digesting, they might grow wiser, especially if they hang around here. But then I look around at the number of stupid old people and I think, no, some people are just fated to remain entrenched in their ignorance until they die. The OP is a lost cause.
