Why do people get fired up about a message board? What a waste.

Or, you know, recognizing FO shouldn't be moderated. That would be easy, too.

I agree.

You of course meant FO only should be lightly moderated. We can't have a 4 Chan

Not really. Jefe could have contacted him privately to address the concern

He was venting, and in private.

Dread Pirate Westley

10/7/17 9:41am

No, it doesn't. He had done research and was quite specific in his plans.

cougfanblue

10/7/17 9:49am

Was he threatened directly or was someone blowing off steam in FO?

Dread Pirate Westley

Should I just assume that it's always a joke?

You know it was in FO.
