[QUOTE=Guinastasia] Because he’s obviously crazier than a shithouse rat? [/QUOTE] Lay off the shithouse rats. Many of them _have_ to live in shithouses, and at least they don’t keep bothering us with annoying photojournals and books showing us how much they hate looking at shit. ---

You know, I’ve been reading about how we Americans are fat, unfriendly, and generally weird compared to people from other countries like Russia and Canada (specifically Vancouver). Thanks to the magic of Google, though, I am fortunate enough to see what passes for physical and spiritual excellence in **Wwu777’s** universe.

[QUOTE=Marley23] I think I just attained enlightenment.

[QUOTE=Zoe] So, what forums were **WWu777’s** posts in? Apparently I don’t have access. Even did a search on his name. [/QUOTE] He’s been banned; you should be able to see his profile. You won’t be able to see any of his posts, though. He started seven threads in less than two days, never made a post outside of his own threads, and was pushing an agenda. He was a troll, and his posts were treated appropriately. ---
