You pitted **Shodan** in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=323378) MPSIMS thread. You pitted **Bricker** in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=323739) ATMB thread. Neither of those included a link to the appropriate thread. I’ll tell you how this message board works: if something someone says irritates you enough to raise hell about it, you bring it here - the BBQ Pit. You state your issue, you link to the thread that created your issue, and you stand ready to defend yourself. You don’t plaintively and disingenuously post in an improper forum that you just don’t understand this message board. You are far more a political soulmate of mine than either of the aforementioned are, but your actions and your personality are increasingly pissing me off. Put your balls where your mouth is. ---

Yeah. 100% agree. Further, I hate that the little shit is putting me in a position to actually have to see posters like **Shodan** and **Bricker** as wronged parties. What a fucking world (see your own “political soulmate” comment"\> ---

On second thought, make that 50%…” It was supposed to be a simple variation on “Put your money where your mouth is.” Obviously a very poorly timed (poorly designed) burst of creativity. ---
