**vanilla** : I think **Monty** has that response programmed as a macro. **Monty** : I can hardly wait to see what snappy comeback **wearywitch** has (in another five weeks). ---

Desmostylus: I don’t have it as a macro. I thought it was the most fitting comment to describe Insane Board Stalker Number Two’s latest stunt. You want to see how snappy ww’s posts are? Do a search on his/her/its/whatever’s UserID and check the last few. ---

Can we amend the original ruling to also include prison rape? Because this whole “Yeah, let’s send [whatever allegedly bad person is under discussion] to prison and see how he likes being someone’s bitch” thing gets tired awfully fast. ---
