I don’t know why, but I seem to recall, upon first seeing his screen name, instantly thinking that he was a troll/plant from a weather related board that seems to pack his sort of innane drivel. I wish there was an openly gay super-Hassidic Jew Mod to handle his banning, when it comes. It would be the delicous frosting on a wonderous cake of ass-hattery. ---

[QUOTE=yojimbo] **Wildfire** MM\*\* From what I can see I think I agree with a lot of your politics at least on the surface. You are a bit of a crap OP’er though and generally it’s the responses and arguments that break out in your threads that make them interesting. You will always have trouble here just linking to stories to make your point. Posters from both sides of the argument have been eventually banned for such behaviour. Becoming a martyr to the cause doesn’t do you or what you’re trying to say seem any better. Reign it in a bit or you will be gone. Just a bit of friendly advice from your friendly neighbourhood drunken Irishman. Ignore if you want but trust me I’ve been here a while. This has happened to many and will continue to happen. You will be forgotten almost as soon as the _Banned_ title appears. Waste of money and a waste of your time. [/QUOTE] Well thanks I will interpret this as a friendly advice ---
