I'm taking a break.

[Mercy]

Ah. Thank you, [edited].

Stating the obvious; it is what I do.

Please keep the personal name references off the forums. I try to keep RL and the forums more separated these days.

[Chris Miller]

Wow. I had no idea that was your real name. Sorry 'bout that.

I would've considered both posts that Tim wrote what the staff who wrote the ToS considered to be "flaming."
Talking about someone else in a derogatory manner. Goriya said he was going to take a two week break, not go take a two week break because he jacked off dogs and whoever "you" is has worse willpower.

I find that the moderators of many forums apply the flaming offense way too liberally.
Except in really obvious cases, my MO is generally not to consider a flaming infraction unless the person on the receiving end reports it.
There's a very subjective difference between when it's just people playing around versus people trying to be offensive. I have no reason to believe it's the latter this time.

Glenn and I use hotter language than that just passing pleasantries with each other.

This deserves quoting. Mercy is not the only one who finds it pleasant when I get to put her in her place

Ehh...let's just move on.
Say, did anybody watch the Discovery Channel, from 7pm to 9pm? That was totally badass!
