**twickster** says she’ll check in on this later, but for now maybe I can clear this up for you (he said, tempting the gods).

It’s not a personal insult. Here’s what she said:

> [@The Oddest Things Blocked By My Office Internet Filter](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-oddest-things-blocked-by-my-office-internet-filter/643204/24):

The issue here is that this is becoming harassment of **Leaffan**. He posted examples of five other threads where you had posted shortly after he did to bash the Maple Leafs. That probably would have been fine if they were hockey-related threads, but they weren’t. None of them were in The Game Room and only one (two if I am being very charitable) had anything to do with sports at all. For example there’s a thread where **Leaffan** posted about a problem with YouTube videos and your response was:

> [@Every single time, Youtube videos restart randomly](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/every-single-time-youtube-videos-restart-randomly/632453/14):
>
> Just make it play a Phil Kessel tribute video. I guarantee that even a machine won’t want to sit through it more than once. 😛

And in a thread about the Mars rover you opined as follows:

> [@Mars where rover touched down looks ‘Earth-like’: How long before the conspiracy theories start?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mars-where-rover-touched-down-looks-earth-like-how-long-before-the-conspiracy-theories-start/630911/23):
>
> If it’s a joke, it’s not as funny as Phil Kessel … or the new team in Markham. 😛

If the thread has nothing to do with sports, don’t jab **Leaffan** about the Maple Leafs. Doing it once is no big deal, but it looks like you’ve been doing this excessively.
