Care to role-play? I can field this one well enough, I think, and Sene appears to have phased out again. This isn't the way the world works. Petulance and anger are met with discipline, not open arms and the killing of the fatted calf. Again, there's a difference between acceptance and enabling. *s...

Oh Sene I don't blame you fully for the fuck ups, you are the only one with balls to come here and talk so a tip of my hat for that
Indeed.

I'll try to quickly explain what's up, mmkay. The reason why the thread was closed (I talked with Galspanic) was because it was a question that was answered.

I mean, I can understand why a so-called "joke" like "just go shoot yourself" has the potential to backfire. That's not a "joke" at all, it's a flame or troll and it could have some pretty drastic consequences. But here? It's not the joking that's problematic, it's whet...
