Personally, I just hope this trainwreck of a thread dies before somebody turns it into a flirt thread. It’s just how threads like this always turn out. I think it’s time we got back on topic people. ---

Of course, you guys realize that pretty soon the cries of “Trainwreck!” will come pouring in. ::sigh:: ---

Wow. First time I’ve seen someone that broke Godwin’s, Gaudere’s and Murphy’s law all in a single post. IANAL but there might have been a few state and federal statutes done in there, too. It’s got to be some kind of a record. ---

You take issue with my opinion? Well, I take issue with your piss-pore spelling! You’re worse than Hitler! But I’ll be nice to the rest of the posters by sharing my guaranteed prediction of the final score in the NCAA championship game. Illinois will ---

I don’t think that’s a valid point of view, **Sternvogel**. It’s ridiculouse that in this day nad age somone can still be as biggotted as you. I don’t want to head towards the Pit, but I reckon you should considor other people’s opinions first. ---

Come on, no need for junior modding - just report bad posts to the mods. And actually, I think **Tarleton** made quite a good point, which has been ignored by everyone so far. ---

It won’t be long now before somebody calls somebody a nazi and somebody else starts harpin’ on somebody being a junior mod. These threads always wind up like that. :rolleyes: ---

**squeegee** and **bibliocat** I agree. This thread is just full of dipshits. Especially **GorillaMan**. He’s the Emperor of dipshits.
