and i'm sorry you hate posting here.
i totally understand what you're saying and there have been times i've felt the same way after getting some snarky shit reply.
none of us are perfect. including those who have the need to put someone else down.

but let me just say this:
thank god there is one person here who is fucking perfect

(at least according to them)

tom, you made this post and i'm really glad you did.
