Nah man, pointing out someone’s hypocrisy isn’t wishing them dead. I hope you know and understand that you are not that important for anyone to do that to you. Sorry you’re so sensitive when you can’t worm your way out of an argument. Anyways that’s all about that.

I’d be happy to donate money to CP as well to keep the ads away.

Nah, saying you’d love to see them beheaded is. But sure, you got sent to the sin bin for pointing out hypocrisy. You could just be an adult and apologize for taking it too far instead of this desperate attempt to rewrite your childish outburst. I’ll wait.

EDIT: And just so we’re clear, I’d happily accept that apology.

It was meant to be facetious because I (and I thought everyone else too) know you are the least forthright person and would never actually back up anything you say on this board. I’ll tiptoe around your delicate sensibilities now that I’m aware of your fragile nature. So for triggering you I am sorry.

PB14 once told me I should die by getting hit by a bus so unfortunately he has a track record of fantasizing about death to others.

When someone shows who they are, believe them!

“Never actually back up anything you say” from the guy who can’t even take ownership of his own words and muster a genuine apology like an adult.

That’s just sad, man. Keep the insults coming until you get sat down again, I guess.

He ain't gonna be just reading and responding in this thread, for example. So either photon will have to explain the reaction (suboptimal) or photon will hopefully send him a link to the two threads discussing the ads so he can at least read them, and maybe even weigh in (optimal).
What is stopping you from sending him a private message with your suggestion that people should contribute money to the site?

This is the internet. We’re not here to solve problems, just complain about them.

One of my favourite past times is sending unhinged PMs to the mods. You guys should try it.

I did that to MRC for a while but then he showed up to my office and threatened me.

I thought it was funny, but its all fun and games until someone gets punched in the face.

I think you could slash him up pretty well unless he is sort of ninja.

He is actually far too nice of a man to start a fight with, he kind of jabs at you while you're trying to apologize to him its a whole awkward thing that I'd prefer not to repeat.

So you're here for free, and when the owner is looking at ways to keep the site going, you'll submarine that by using an ad blocker.

way to support the site.

Maybe someone could message Bingo and ask them to have a fundraising thread and let us know how much is needed to keep the site going without pop up ads.

I respect Bingo a lot for keeping this site going for 20(?) years, I just find it strange he isn't being more active in keeping people updated about the ad situation. I've lost count of how many people, including Gordon Blue right above, have suggested a fundraiser.
