TA admins hate you!!! I asked Jared to do something about it almost 3 months ago but he's too lazy to care about anything except his cat and beard I guess....

Are those poop heads? Wow, I would be upset too if my handle looked like a bunch of smiling poop. Stinky...

I made it impossible to even mention her, I added any words that could be even used to address or mention she who shall not be named to the censoring filter. Things have since died down, so I'll remove it!

Of course the very mention of this might cause it to flare up again, so, *sigh*

Thanks for addressing this, Eli. I feel better already ;-)
