I thought this would be flames about opinions on Cecil’s columns, but it appears to be posters attacking each other without context. I can do that. Fuck you! You (and your ilk) suck!

Um, sorry , but I seem to be having a flame thing going on with Phaedrus right now.
I can’t flame you till I’m done with him, but when you find out what a merkin is, let me know ok ?

## **merkin** : alternative spelling of **'Mer’can** (American) used in various parodies of “good ol’ boy” conversations. **merkin** : alternative spelling of **Merck ‘n’** (Merck and) used by nursing students when discussing their attempts to identify a drug and its usage (“I just checked my Merkin PDR and found. . . .”). _(OK, I made that one up.)_

Sadly, that IS all this catagory is… occasionally there truly is a reason for the insults, and also occasionally there is a tragic tale of one of our fellow Poster’s lives. _Besides, that Counter guy is such a bastard! 😉_
