You are in the wrong forum and you are also basically wrong.  
I will notify a passing mod about the first part. I am not sure what can be done about the second.

Was there enough interest in this topic to justify a staff report?

Oh, and it’s good form to post a link to the requisite column in question. [Let me help you with that.](http://www.ehponline.org/docs/2005/113-2/crybaby.jpg)

Careful **Airman** , do not let him suck us into a warning from the mods. We need to wait for this thread to get moved to state the truth. 😉

To paraphrase a famous somebody, if you introduce a trigger in chapter one, you’ll have to pull that sucker by the end of the third reel.

You posted this in the wrong forum, **Wildfire** MM\*\*. I guess I’ll have to close it.  
On the other hand, I suppose I’ll just move it to the Pit.

Evidently not, since they haven’t gotten around to banning you yet. Be patient.

I think YOU have too much time on your hands, as evidenced by your dildo thread and your subsequent comment.

I think you were so obviously trolling in that thread, not to mention rude, that you didn’t deserve just a locking. However the mods are nice people sometimes, so you get a break.

I think it’s because your threads suck and so do you, but maybe you have a point.

Look at it in a positive light. You can blame your eventual banning on Israel and the Jews, giving you yet another reason to hate them.

BTW, Happy New Year, Wildfire. 😃
