It is impossible for me to like it thanks to Asperger's and ADHD. I know I shouldn't say that, but it is.

With all due respect, you seem to use that as an excuse in order to not have to learn and adapt. I'm pretty sure that also means that you would probably be better off not being on internet forums at all, since sooner or later people will mess with you, and your outbursts of impotent rage will only encourage them. Evolve or perish, those are pretty much your only options.

Morning, Algonquin - aside from having been woken up on a Saturday by police at my door, I'm doing quite well. At least it's sunny out for a change. :)

You're just in time to see this TET brought to its logical end. I also happened to notice that (quite a few pages back) ZS took special care to post a lot in TET after his one day ban. Once again he extolled the virtues of fascism, but that seems to be acceptable in TET, despite the rules.

You know, that should be the title of the next TET.

Hurdegaryp -- if there were rules broken, I'd need a link to them. If they were not, no worries.

As for the cops, no big - someone got a burr up their butt about our non-working car being parked on the side of the road it has to be parked on, and could not be parked in front of ours due to the fire hydrant. It's probably the same people who have a kid who drives around here with his music so loud I can hear it over the video games being played in my front room, at any hour of the day. There will be a reckoning at some point. OH YES ... a reckoning.

Checking his message history taught me that he mainly posts in The Star Wars vs. WH40K Debate thread and here. The more political threads are probably too scary for him, since the rugged debating veterans that call those places their stomping grounds would probably tear him apart with words.

A quick check of the rules implies that he didn't violate any rules yet, so I guess I'll just have to stay vigilant.
