Just ban this fuckwit already, willya? He’s going to keep posting his indecipherable bullshit until you do. Call it an act of mercy, like when Old Yeller got rabies. ---

You are my write-in candidate for chief mod. But please let the pitted show up (one would do) before you close it. ---

Why the fuck should they show up? You haven’t stated why you’re pitting them. Past experience shows that you probably won’t. You’ll just post random bullshit, attention whoring for your own perverse amusement. If you start a thread, you need to bring some fucking content…content that makes some kind of sense…or just don’t start the fucking thread in the first place. ---

They know why I’m pitting them. Stay out of it, please. While you’re at it chief mod, add **BrainG** \* to the titular usual suspects. He/she is this lawyer turned librarian with a bunch of suggestions for positive thinking. **BG**? ---

So let me get this straight–your OP links to a thread that has neither SS or SoaT in attendance, the OP of which is another link to another thread which also doesn’t feature SS or SoaT in attendance. We’re not mind-readers, shithead. ---

I suggest that you go out and buy a 4x6" lined paper notepad, and write the OP there. And then bury the pad at the bottom of your sock drawer. And then you should possibly set fire to the sock drawer - though honestly that part’s not _strictly_ necessary. And **descamisado** , why not? If he wants to prostrate himself for my amusement, must I refrain from pointing and laughing? And of course if he ever got around to actually _saying anything coherent_, he has as much a right to do so as anyone else. Though at this point I’m not holding my breath. ---
