So he doesn't waste time trying to learn some obscure way of typing that a bunch of 14 year olds like to use to make them look "cool". Big deal, don't belittle him for it.

Ahhh... another member who joins the forum and then tries to belittle certain nerd habits by implying that only 14 year olds do it. I wish I were a badass like you.

amusing, Aplefka.

It's all in good fun when you mock his shortcomings. But as soon as I step in and defend him and then make a comment on "1337" you take great offense to it and that makes ME the a**hole.

I love how things work here!

You really need to be more clever or start living in the present if you're going to try to insult me. I've been a sworn officer for almost a year. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to take a bare-chested picture of myself and post it on the internet.


Oh wait, that's you.
