    @gala

    And whatever validity you think you had in defining yourself by obsessively spending your life on this blog will just be blown off in one day. No matter how much you desecrate the language by the month.

    Ah, couldn't happen to a nicer waste of carbon.

    By the way, I am sure I am not the only one wondering how you are subsidizing all this time here 24/7.

    It wouldn't, KLYTUS, be government, um, benefits, would it?

    Good point. Quite possibly so. Foolish too. It's traceable after all retroactively. Note every time it gets locked out for it's profanity it's back with a new alias.
