I have had enough of this place for awhile. I can't post this in GD for an hour because I just had a post deleted there. People asked me to create a post about the speech tonight, real time. So I did. I'm sitting here fucking sicker than a fucking dog, and I managed to rapid-fire type what was said in the speech. Every post that I typed was an exact quote of what was said, and people were appreciative. i finally had to give up because the speech was too fast for me. Some fucker alerted on one of my responses when IT WAS AN EXACT FUCKING QUOTE OF WHAT WAS SAID, JUST LIKE THE DOZENS OF OTHER RESPONSES I POSTED IN THE THREAD. And the jury deleted my post. I don't get mad often, but I'm fucking pissed. I have 21,000 posts and I've only had one deleted in all of that time. I'll be taking a break. I know this post breaks forum rules, and will get deleted, but I don't give a fuck. I give a lot to this place, and I'm not hanging around after busting my fucking ass trying to help people out by posting what people asked me to post because they didn't want to watch the fucking speech themselves. Fuck this noise. Seriously. Yeah, I know I can appeal, but fuck it. See you later. Whoever alerted on me? Go fuck yourself. Idiot.

Not an alert.

But I made a nice post to help people understand a foreign video and got scolded for it.
Made me mad.

Same thing, help people and get your ass kicked.

It's a tough world out there Lucky.

So are you Italian and Irish?
I thought you said you were half Irish.
