Actually, **jar** , nobody on this boards ever did that. BUT I felt I should throw it in anyway because I have been, in the past, threatened with eternal damnation, suffering, what have you because I am pagan. IDBB ---

Yeah…didn’t she used to be fat? She looks great now. But I still find her a bit annoying. ---

Hey, what thread was this derived from? I’ve been gone for a few days and I think I missed the action. And **IDBB** , I think almost everyone who isn’t a Christian has been threatened to eternal damnation by _someone_. It’s called witnessing. It’s a part of life. And I seriously doubt if you were a true pagan, you’d be this damn bitter. Love and light, you are not a picture of. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by I\_Dig\_Bad\_Boys \* > \*\*I apologize for having a bad childhood that MADE me bitter. > IDBB \*\* I could understand that you’re bad childhood might have made you bitter while you were still a child enduring your bad childhood. But… where are your parents now? Are you in a situation (such as being a child) in which you have to live with them, see them every day, and endure the abuse you’ve described before? Right now, the only person that is making you be bitter … is you. Think for a moment. You have food. You have shelter. You have clothing. I think it’s a safe assumption that you have a computer. And because of the amount of time you’ve dedicated here, it seems that the biggest problem you have at the moment is having gotten in a tiff with people on an internet message board. Breathe. ---

I never had cause to say this before now, but **Hamlet** is a big smelly jerk for reminding me of **Fre** … dammit, I can’t even type the name. I lurk way more than I post because I don’t want to absentmindedly post simpleminded hateful trash, get flamed, and melt down. Something the OP may want to consider. That is, if I weren’t generally inclined to think before I post and not given to posting simpleminded hateful trash in the first place. I’m not even sure if I should post this. ---

There, you see? I definitely should have thought twice about that post. It didn’t make much sense and wasn’t helpful at all. No more posting from me for a while. ---

Aw, c’mon, **Exgineer** , don’t be like that! I miss you so much when you don’t post! I weep and wail and break things and, um, well, OK, that’s a bit over the top. See how you’ve affected me! Please don’t hide!! [sub]I really and truly posted the above while maintaining a straight face. Really.[/sub] ---
