I don't to justify anything

quite frankly you could throw yourself off a cliff tomorrow and land head first into a sea of upturned swords; I wouldn't shed the slightest tear.

So does this mean we're not friends? Seriously, are we not?

That's how little I care for you and your opinions on the matter.

Well of course everyone is out fighting a losing battle for your approval, reading over your responses to nearly anyone on this forum makes that entirely clear to myself.

For a person who registered 4 years ago and made 34 posts; it speaks volumes for the fact that you're a troll who posts merely to incite a response rather than entering into any meaningful discourse.

Trolling trolls my friend. I've been mostly lurking here long since before I even registered but when I see a pompous troll like you I can't help but make my presence known.

Don't hurt yourself trying to come up with more cheese **** "bed of swords" or "pull the light bulb out of your ass" responses. I'm done "trolling" and back to lurking.
