Shame on you, Señor Rogers!

I propose a **BOYCOTT** to Palidor’s posts. No reply, no bashing, no nothing to the little troll!

He’s worse than… well… you know…

Aaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!

I know my name is fucked-up, but I kinda like it. I made a new sig line to try explain it. I guess you could abbreviate it to Ai to address or quote me. Sorry to interrupt.

(on the upside \* Kelli spoke to me! \*)

John, you have truely been blessed…(sigh)…I too aspire to the time when I’m acknowledged my Kelli…

Great Post BTW…and it does seem as if he’s stopped…just a kid that mis-understood the rules…

Yeah, **That’s** gonna get me notices…everyone please note that I meant to say _by Kelli_ not _my Kelli_…Please understand that I meant nothing by that slip…no innuendo at all…

Gee Atrael, if you had an email address, I could mail you those dirty letters I have for you, instead, I have been putting them in bottles and tossing them into the sea… 😉  
John. There, I called you John. (its never gonna catch on dude…change it to ‘EYE’ or something catchy like bug vomit)

Carefull Kelli, or you’ll bring the wrath of C#3 down on you 🙂

She’s right John…need to spiff that name up some…I don’t even think I could type the one you have now if I tried…

_sigh_  
It’s that bad, huh?

What if I took out the slashes?

Anyone who knows Chinese could probabaly guess the tones, and it would be less confusing to everyone else. On the other hand, anyone who’s seen my other posts could probably guess it was the same guy.

To get the spacing to come out right on your ASCII art, use the HTML tag (pre) before it starts, and (/pre) after it ends. Replace the parentheses with greater-than/less-than signs.
