Sometimes when I'm browsing various forums (this and others) I get so confused by some of the attitudes that come up. The grammar police, the timeline photos, the flames, etc. What's the point? What do you get out of it? I know it's tough to read someone who uses a there instead of a their... but what do you get out of pointing it out every single time? I understand the irritation of clicking on a new post and finding out that it's something useless, or old news, but doesn't it take even longer to make a nasty comment regarding it? I just don't understand it, is all.

And the smacking down of trolls and spammers is a perc that comes with seniority here... as is the Summoning of Trogtor or the use of the almighty Hammer of Ban

I am a card-carrying summoner of both

edit: I don;t really summon them, I just advocate their use. I do have the attack goats though...

I have no desire to rule the world, or the fourm or even a single thread, but I do like voicing my opinion by using the Two Weapons of Fourmic Power

The Silver Hammer of Ban and it's sibling weapon The Golden Fire of Trogdor

And get him to use it whenever a thread gets Tooked... just make sure we're within the image limitations... i'd never do to have Tooki have to Tookinate himself, now would it?

Welcome to mine, buddy.
Don't worry, being the only one on there doesn't mean it's going to be lonely. I'll bring some animals for you to play with.

Make the target give the oompies some King Loui. That'd cause a mess of anger. Better put the target and predator in a pit first. I know I'd kill someone if they ever gave me that stuff.
