Basically, I can’t think of one reason to dislike any of them, yet I do. They always seem pleasant enough, even when they ban people and lock threads, they are always stern but fair. SO now I’m left with this feeling of total dislike, and I don’t know why. I think I just hate being told what to do, and have issues with authority. Uncle Beer, Coldfire or Cajun man, would you care to pay for my therapy so I can stop hating you for no good reason? :dubious: ---

The moderators forced me to put sandwiches in my toilet. Sure, they didn’t come right out and _say_ I’d be banned if I didn’t, but it was implied. ---

Yeah, it would be so much better here if the trolls were allowed to roam free, half the threads were product and service solicitations, everyone cussed each other a blue streak and Mod humor was nonexistant. Yippee. ---
