StS, IANAMoA, but I forsee you getting banned if your current posting style continues. It is inevidible. Maybe it won’t be today and maybe it won’t be tomorrow, but it will be someday, simply because your ego is too big for its own good. You think you know everything and you also have a huge thrill (seemingly) of questioning authorty and going against what you see as the grain. Even in this topic, you just narrowly skirting an instant one because of talk about lawsuits. So I’m making this post as the voice of reason to you, hopefully, although nobody elses’ reason has seemed to get through to you yet. I said it to past banned members such as TLDR and GuyinBlueJeans, too, before it happened, yet they seemed to be on a one way track to that great banned place in the sky. : p You seem to have a lot of potential to be a good member, but you need shaping up a little because currently you have your head so far up your own ass, you see little else. Some might think you’re mostly just on this board to get reactions out of people and stir up as much shit as possible. There are names and terms for people like that. They usually don’t stick around much. They’re shown the door. Forcibly sometimes. So if you’re really serious about loving this place, I just hope this post appeals to any real intelligence and common sense you might have. ---
