How far up your backside have you got your head? It was Shelbyfv's turdy comment that saw me off. I didn't know that 'whither and die' is a phrase popular with mods, and doesn't ACTUALLY mean 'whither and die'.

Gimme strength! Am I supposed to accept a death wish (on the face of it, to me) and carry on as if all was sweet in the meadow?

Grow up!
You've dealt with it like a child. Shelbyfv has explained his intent, recognized that it might have come across poorly, and edited the post to suit your sensitivities, but you're still flapping your arms about it. Similar pattern with Koyote's blog comment. So much effort to show everyone that you've been wronged so egregiously. It wasn't a big deal, but you sure made it one. Editing all of your previous posts to gibberish doesn't help your case.

Okay, you've asked for it. The lid is off, and the water is boiling ...

I've done my very best to close the matter, and it was closed, but you keep popping up to continue the crap. WTF has this to do with you, other than your lame opinions? You don't know me, so why are so fkn keen to judge me? I've posted that I did my best, and all was well. Until you started chiming in with your fkn egotistic bull.

LET IT GO! IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE!

I've left, just to please you.

"What's with these people? What's the problem?"

Tony:

"Don't worry. They are people. They do what people do. Always having to have the upper hand."

Dennis:

"What can be done to help people like that?"

Tony:

"J... t... t... t. f... o.. Works for me."

Dennis:

"Thanks, Tony. I'll keep your words close to my heart."

Tony:

"Until they come to try to rip it out of your body. And they will come."

Like nobody else has EVER disgusted me. I dealt with 'it' calmy, as an adult, to avoid too much bad feeling, to avoid offending the onlooker.

But there you are with your pathetic 'You've dealt with it like a child' comment. Who the f are you? Do you have a seat on the forum's panel of ethical judges?

No.

You are Eric F, only. Always keen to stoke the flames of unrest. Seems to have nothing better to do than pontificate on matters of little importance.

Where's my ban? I want to be banned! I want to be as far away from this ******g forum as possible. I don't care what anyone thinks of me. ****. ****. PISS. BASTARD. CRETIN. TRUMP. KARL MARX. EINSTEIN'S UNDERWEAR.

What do I have to do to bet banned?

BICYCLES ARE CRAP.

I LOVE WEIRDOS.

Am I really insane?

Or I am playing at being insane?

You'd no doubt all love to know.

Okay, the truth is ...

('Herts' is short for 'Hertfordshire', a county in the UK)

Aaah! I can smell the ban getting closer ...

My initial suggestion was to "lighten up". In other words, don't take things so seriously. I guess that concept was just too difficult for you. Good luck, man.

Meanwhile, I will continue to hold your opinion of me with zero regard.

FYI - You don't have to be banned. You can make the choice not to log in and participate.

This was sort of a case of “ask, and ye shall receive.” See, e.g., DD.
