 Except for the fact that i never once said anything about gay people not welcome here. i just said we don't want to talk about penises. now cyrix i understand how big your ego is and how big of a prick you are so being wrong must hurt. im sorry that you were wrong but we all make mistakes. i had enough of your shit last time we had a flame war and i honestly dont want to listen to your "im better than you cause im older and have a bigger ego" shit.

 no i didnt actually, me saying i dont want to talk about penises is actually just me saying i dont want to talk about penises, because i don't. just acept you were wrong for once cyrix, its really not that hard. if thats your definition of an essay you must have done well in english class. dirt i never said you were gay, just said i didnt want to talk about penises because you just randomly added it to the end of your scentences. for future reference calling me a dick or a douch will sound much better than calling someone a penis. bitch, mother f*cker, f*cker and shit head will also work.

 You are telling them to keep it to themselves if they do, that's telling them it's not welcome here. Notice how I'm never the angry one insulting people in these little tiffs you like to throw, it's always you cursing up a storm and insulting people and flying off the handle when it's not necessary at all. Why you're so angry, I have no idea. Eh, whatever. No point in me getting stressed over something so completely inane.

 Ahahaha I get it. As in ride penises. That's not what I meant, I was calling you guys penises because you were saying that I have it good cause its not snowing where I live or whatever. Believe me I have no interest in riding penises or talking about riding them.
