    All I can say to BJ, is that he'd best hope we never start calling him BMF.

    I'm starting to think the calling him Boy Jenee may be too much of an insult to Girl Jenee. :(

    A global caliphate would never gain any traction: the moderate Muslims would put a damper on that.

    Don't play the mod game here kid, the mods here are some of the most politically diverse you'll find anywhere.

    Hell I think half the owners here are idiots.

    You seem like a nice enough guy and actually like you, but please stop referring to me as a kid. I'm sure you're not doing it to piss me off like Shooter is, but I'd appreciate it.

    Everyone's doing it because it gets a reaction from you.

    Every. Single. Time. :lol:

    Are you this emotional in real life or just on the internet?



    Now somebody copy and paste this into a post so the boy can see it. :lol:

    This is the Red Room.

    Unless he's messing with your account or messing with you about the rules he's got the right to call you stupid just like anyone else.

    Gotta disagree here.

    If a war got big enough or dragged on long enough we would have a draft.

    A man with a rifle is still a powerful weapon all its own.

    And specialists can be replaced at an accelerated rate if need be.

    Trolling is still against the rules, even here. He's already admitted to trolling me, so I'm just waiting for a mod other than him to tell him to knock it off. I doubt it will happen, if it doesn't, I will take further action.

    Not worth the effort of actually going to my photobucket account, so use you imagination to picture Bender laughing even harder.

    Nearly everyone here trolls you because you fall for it every time, BJ.

    And this isn't TBBS.

    Trolling has never been against the rules in the Red Room.

    Hell the Red Room, this board itself, exists because we original members of this board were told we couldn't troll in a room on TrekBBS that was specifically put there for anything goes posting.

    However, this is not a place for trolling, flaming or spamming. Such posts will probably be removed and you may earn a warning for doing it...no one wants to start off on such a bad foot, so let's just keep it civil, please.

    It doesn't say that the Red Room is exempt.

    It doesn't say that you're a moron either, however we're all smart enough to have figured that out for ourselves.
