One of two things is going on here:
1. Someone has been lighting a fire under my ass for fun. I hope you enjoyed it, I certainly did. If this is the nature of the situation, I must applaud your efforts, for you truly had me fooled. I thought I was just having some fun venting anger on an idiot. In these circumstances, it is your turn to laugh now- I admittedly feel bested, but you should be assured that I can still appreciate this experience as I reflect upon it.
2. Whitedove had his more intelligent friend make a post for him, in which case I laugh even harder. The vocabulary of this post is particularly superfluous, so this makes me a bit suspicious.
However, being the "asswhole" that I am (although a better word would be "pissant" as defined by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. in "Cat's Cradle"), I suppose that I am still required to tear your post apart in some trivial manner or another. To do otherwise simply wouldn't be "me", so here goes:
-"it's" is only to be used as a contraction replacing "it is", not to imply ownership.
-A discussion of "where can I find pics of Heidi" is not appropriate content for this board in my opinion. Among the things I would consider appropriate content for this board would be "Heidi is in that new Nike commercial about pitchers wanting to be hitters" or "Hey, everyone, get your vidcap equipment ready, Heidi is going to be on Spin City on Tuesday night", or even "I liked last year's SI better, here's why".
I must agree with you on one point though, and that is that our message strings should have remained up for all to read. If nothing else, they were pure entertainment. I also thought that the posts by "Heidi's new Boyfriend" and "GIGANTICMANTIS" were hilarious and by no means should have been removed.
