This op has unfairly attacked me before. Extremely aggressive in their behavior. Heavily intoxicated. At the same time I have also enjoyed many of their ops. And so you know, I really don't like the way this poster uses women to further their agenda. The op clearly has a knight in shining armor complex. This has become clear reading throughout the years and the unbelievable change they have made on certain issues. Often it is clearly disingenuous. They do it very regularly.

I just think it would have been much better to simply k&r this and say great image. Move on from there. The only reason this person is doing this is because they are about to be forced into a time out. This poster and his ego must go out on his own terms. Everyone seems to be playing his game, which is what he is all about here. Always has been. K&R, and sweet dreams Trumad. That is how to do this without feeding his ego.
