Lol @anon 129
We've got a new anon among us or two and he/she's funny. Been laughing all day. .thank you :D
And yeah Fred might need one. But ultimately it's up to him to wake up. All we can do is try and be patient. And forgiving. I'm sure what's driving much of the madness we see these days is caused by guilt. Hence the virtue signalling. But OK we will just ignore his clear sickness and leace it at that. Fred..my little parrot. .remember this is never personal. I'm sure I'd get along with you and am flawed myself. But please. Think a bit before you post like you've got Aspberger and are on Adderall half the time ;)
