Cool.

I could rip apart most of your comment, but really all I need to say you said right here already:

    I find your comment very rude, so I hope you'll forgive me being rude back

Have you ever heard of, like, this thing, uhm, I think...it's a quote...it's like..."A hoof for a hoof..." No that's not right...Oh yeah. "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind?" Also known as "Two wrongs don't make a right" and "You're throwing a temper tantrum because you didn't get your way" ? And then basically asking for it to be excused because your behavior is merited.

Good job.

Also, "censored for unknown reasons by an unknown party" - completely inaccurate, the party is always known in the case of mute, it's the person who puts up the post. Jesus.

I pulled it apart already for CashewGuy, take a look at my response to him.

I thought I made it pretty clear that I wasn't actually asking to be excused, I was merely throwing a little jab his way. Apparently not! I don't actually want his excuse or approval, I want to offend and insult him, because I believe he insulted the community.

If I intended to stick around, or still needed to deal with Ben, I might have gone with a guilt trip or an honestly empathic response - Both stand a better, albit still negligable, chance of changing his mind. But I don't intend to stick around, so a burnt bridge isn't a problem - And letting him know I saw through his bullshit (If my reading of his reply is correct) and letting him know I detest it, both of those things please me.

"unknown party" - You know, you're right. More accurately, I should have used 'arbitrary' for both. It's still got the catchy ring I was going for, but it's more correct in the second case. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that!

Cheers!

I read it. I'm fine with you leaving.

Cheers!
