Sorry about the link - however, posts such as “FOAD” would not, IME, gotten warned. I’ve asked for clarification on that type of post before and was told it wouldn’t get warned.

I’d invite you to eat me, ;), but, alas, that’s no longer an option. ☹

So, I’ll settle for an-oh you! :o

Seriously, you are a santimonious jerk.

The last time I started a pit thread over administration was well before **Garfield** , about one year ago and I would hardly call it bitching.

And you more than made up for it being the only sucker to buy Colibri’s story of the Sorry Latino Broken Ass Club or something. Worry not, you are safe now.

I took **Colibri** at his word. Both **Colibri** and **Ed Zotti** have represented bulwarks of integrity and reason for many years on this message board and **Colibri’s** explanation and **Zotti’s** staunch backing provides a lot of credence for their actions on this issue.

I do apologize however for telling you to fuck off in the other thread. Given subsequent discussion I can only conclude that **Colibri** and **Ed** misread your intent.

Colibri’s “explanation” was the most ridiculous piece of sniveling bullshit I’ve seen around here in a long time. He basically picked a fight as a poster and when he couldn’t take it anymore, went and hid as a mod behind Ed.

And did you miss the whole “knife fight” nonsense?

Fair enough. I don’t even try to refute anything on Colibri’s lunacy because whatever I say would seem to give it validity. I just note the fact that nobody has seen any merit in any of it.
