I’m hoping for the audience. The Photo Op would be worth more than a mug any day. 🙂

You now what? An inquiry into your intentions is not being “roasted”. I too have been accused of being a troll. But I have proved that I am not. Haveing a very high profile straight off the bat is usually not the best was to get around this board. I think you should get off your high horse of thinking everyone is that concerned with you.

BTW, ignore me if you wish

Uh oh, you’re not concr… heh heh, just kidding 🙂

Welcome to the board & enjoy! Watch out for the addictiveness of it, but it’s probably too late for that anyway, isn’t it?

Ahhhhhh, you just totally misanalyzed his comment. sk8rixtx didn’t want to “fuck up” and invite someone who might be a troll. I mean, if you heard accusations of someone being a former troll in a thread you posted welcoming them, wouldn’t you get a little worried also? Are you going to call me a troll also now?

I don’t know if you’re a troll, **User 10K** –though you seem determined to start fights from the start, which is a pretty good indicator. If you’re not a troll, then you appear to be devoid of any sense of humor whatsoever.

Try taking that chip off your shoulder–you’ll find life’s easier that way.
