Yeah, it's sad. I used to visit it for the purposes of getting info on the fighting gamez I do so love so very much. Then I found shoryuken and left forever. But not before discovering the aforementioned war on terrorism board was a good place to make fun of morons, which I also do love so very very much. I've been called a terrorist on there, you know. Very amusing!

You're never going to believe this, but I actually made the name up. I mean, I wasn't the first, but Lysander was the name I made up for a character based on myself for this fictional internet fighting game thingie. It was really weird and cool and old and dead now. Anyway, I just created the name for him, having no idea he was actually a Shakespeare character. Weirdness.
I tend to give it the good ol' glance-over (no pun intended--ah, SHIT.) a litle more often now. I usually just bang out whatever without really "looking" at what I'm typing, because going over and re-reading it would actually, omg, take effort! And I type pretty fast, as anyone who's IMed me can probably attest. (Also, this keyboard sucks giant primate testicles.) So.

Exactly. It's a litle formula I've worked out a couple years ago:
If I do it, I'm being funny and poking a bit of harmless fun at my own inequities.
When anyone else does it, they're being heartless, thoughtless unfunny little bastards who need to be tossed into a grain thresher just as soon as at all possible.
