nope, you is wrong.
The evidence says that's incorrect. It's a pretty long list of evidence, too. 48 pages so far.

There is even a pic of pappa dressed up as a smurf in one of the pics of us threads.
It's quite straightforward: posting crosshairs on a "welcome" thread is a threat. Don't post crosshairs if you don't want people taking it as a threat.
I would just chide tigger privately if there weren't an issue of application of the rules involved. And I didn't make it an issue of application of the rules; you folks did.
I wouldn't have. I think it was a huge mistake.

What, you think I seriously think that tigger is gonna show up in Monterey with a rifle? C'mon, give it a rest. I'm not a nutjob, no matter how many cool kids think it's cute to pretend. It's insulting of you to think so, as a matter of fact, and if I were trumping stuff up I'd make a personal attack out of that assumption.

I have stated multiple times that I want to be left the fuck alone about all this shit. I state it again: just stop all the chickenshit and leave me the fuck alone. For the tenth or fifteenth time. How many times do I have to say it?

When people act one way and talk another, I tend to ignore the talk and focus on the actions.
You got a considerably more polite response than this post deserved. You're thinking is foggy to say the least. Do better.
By paranoid I meant your seeming belief that we are out to get you, not any serious belief that anyone(especially not tigger) is going to turn up and shoot you, if I had to put money on anyone here shooting anyone it would be Seth, zilla, wumbo, or gallstones. And only with good reason.
This place really isn't the den of inequality you seem to think it is, most of us are nice people once you get to know us, even the Canadians, and the Welsh, hell, even the scots are tolerable when they're sober.
All I'm asking you to do is take a step back, stop jumping at everything as if it were a personal affront, and accept that this place is a lot less serious than most other places, it's essentially an off topic area with serious bits tacked on, not the other way around. We are mostly here to relax and have fun.
Look at the total posts for each area of the forum, the pub is bigger than the rest combined, so grab a beer and have a laugh, it is addictive, and beware of the great bacon/cheese divide, that is our most contentious debate since day one.
And if you do want to put detecting lies to a serious test, sign up for a mafia game, spotting lying scum is the whole object of the game.
