I believe the usual tone is, just what’s happening, what were YOU thinking? As the top poster in this thread, (and @LSLGuy, you’re in the top 5) I think, I should, well we, oughta have some say in how it goes. As a thread it has a life of its own. @ParallelLines set an agenda. It has not quite worked like that. In respect to him I’ve told him I’ll stay out of the thread. But, come on, you have to admit I brought life(good and bad bad bad) to this thread. Just wanted to say… ---

I’m sure @MrDibble was aware of that, he just wanted to point out that this is not the thread for pointing out new trolls or trocks, but regular, long-time posters posting shit. ---

@hajario has just nicely stomped on our old “friend” **JAQ** in the MPSIMS about the 17yo math prodigy. ---

Sorry. I did want to give you credit for your good work, and it never occurred to me that the summons might be taken the other way before you’d seen the content. Oops on me. 🤦‍♂️ We usually don’t @ the people we’re bitching about. They get the **bold** treatment. Usually. ---
