Yes, that we were correct you were rude with that comment. Quoting the part where you were rude is not necessarily a breach of the rules.
Good stuff, hope you find this a productive way of engaging yourself in discussion. Would hate for you to have to see a rude word (that you hadn’t yourself posted, Obviously. You’re special and get special rules because you’re so great and we all love you)
What a fucking baby
