I kind of wish someone would love **ivan astikov** , if only briefly, so that we all might have a brief respite. But that would be unfair to the poor shmuck who has to put up with **ivan** ’s whining and sobbing in real life, where I can only imagine how annoying it is.

I’ll echo these sentiments. As obnoxious as he could be, he was someone whose posts I always read.

Try posting 10x more than you usually do. You’ll be bound to offend somebody eventually. I too thought I’d get a mention in this mess, especially after my latest crybaby episode in MPSIMS :o

Honestly, with more than twelve thousand posts, don’t you think you should get out for a while and find a life?

Doesn’t everyone now and again? Perhaps you can whisper in my ear a little more detail about this _whining and sobbing_ I’m supposed to be guilty of, while you are at it?

And I love the fact that I’m so (un)well known (or little regarded) that no one hates me (except Sarahfeena of course). 😛

Gives me a warm fuzzy just thinking about the fact that I fly under the pit radar so often.
