Unfortunately now there's an influx of angry political ramblers who insist on bringing their negativity here. I'm hopeful DT and Allen get rid of all these non-gaming boards so we can get back to the fundamentals instead of listening to all this rage. No more political talk on here would be SO nice.

projektpete 06/02/23 11:28:57 PM #309:	Zonbei posted... Well, one of the reasons for the alt accusations is because theyre often, you know. True. Mostly I post very short messages like tag checks out (which I guess could seem like rambling incessantly to the illiterate) so that people are aware said person has a history of being garbage. Because, I dont know if you know this, but nobody else can see the tag, and I wouldnt want them to waste their time on people like you. (I choose to because its funny, but lets offer others the choice, yeah?) Yeah because everyone cares about your tag (that nobody else can see but you) . As for alts, these claims are usually also coming from the same people who believe 3 people on a back-alley subreddit got the main political board shut down in some wild conspiracy theory lol --- They say you are what you eat.
