Journal GigsVT's Journal: Modbombed 6

Some guy just modbombed me, 5 overrateds on my last 5 messages, all at once.

Probably the GigsVT troll. I guess I'm doing something right if I'm actually important enough to waste that many mod points on.

      If it started getting to the point where I was posting at zero or unable to post many times a day, then I would probably

    • That almost sounded like Wesley Willis. Maybe you should ask him to write a song about me.

      PS. Glad you finally got an account.
      • Suck a polar bear's funky ass!

        You actually gave me a laugh because I find it very unlikely you would compare my writing with that of such a great, great man.

        GigsVT is somewhat less gay.

I've never been canoeing before, but I imagine there must be just a few simple heuristics you have to remember... Yes, don't fall out, and don't hit rocks.
