Obviously if my post was the second, and his was the fourth, I wasn’t aware of his post as I was writing mine. I mean, _obviously_.

**Modnote** : This thread has turned into a dumpster fire and is now closed.

More to come on this after I review the thread.

@Roger_That & @Saintly_Loser you both made this way too personal and overwhelmed this thread.

This is really pushing it and is clearly insulting. In fact, I think I’m going to make it really clear. **Don’t insult other posters outside the Pit, even dressed up as insulting others.** Anything else like this will absolutely result in a warning.
