Well, seeing as how you’ve already firmly established you’re an asshole, I somehow doubt I’ll be taking this much further.

Carry on, asshat.

What will you do if your pacifier pops out of yer ass and you can’t reach far enough to _rectify_ the situation?

This is almost most sickening of all.

Tell me, sir, exactly how I am taxing your resources. A public forum is created, public input is welcome, and the public may comment here freely for a period of 30 days with no charge.

Did the little internet men come around again and force you to read, and then to respond, to my drivel?

My profound apologies.

You soap box preachers make me fucking sick.

As long as the newbie has the time to go back and read dipshit posts from clueless fucksticks, the answer is - infinity.

People will put up with my shit for as long as dumb fucking cunts named Abbie try to subvert it.

Infinity.

At first I was going to warn mattmorgan64. However, I don’t think he’s gonna straighten up and fly right, no matter how many warnings he gets. He doesn’t seem to be interested in doing anything but insulting people, so I’m banning him. If he wishes reinstatement, he can write to me or another admin and explain his misbehavior, and his understanding of the registration agreement.

I’m closing this thread.
