Don't blame the poor grammar on me.. I just hijacked the link and posted it.

'> Come on! You're taking shit personally again! I was directing it at all the haters! I'm not saying YOU felt stupid. I have no idea what you thought, as I can't read minds, HOWEVER, it's common instinct to feel violated when someone/thing calls you an idiot and you realize you've been tricked! Just because I quoted your post doesn't mean I was speaking just to you.. I couldn't find a good way to quote Yoshi's post, and I didn't feel like posting twice on the same response.

Who would take a link seriously that had a <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
'> next to it? I did it to trick ppl! Think about it!

No.

Not if I'm trying to trick ppl.. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Wrong again. The point was to make at least 1 other person happy/laugh/release endorphins/something nice. It happened. Ask NervGS. He seemed to like it. Just because I posted a misleading link that may have possibly threatened someone who thinks they can drift's ego, don't get all butt-hurt about it. It's not like it was a link to chubby-bears.com or goatse.cx or some trojan or worm or some shit.
It was a harmless joke. (ok, with the exception of one seizure! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Here's an idea. SMILE. Realize that you got fooled, you should mouseover links before clicking them, and that life is funny! You guys are acting like this is the fucking House of Respresentatives and the Honorable Mister Mephistopheles just peed on everyone's Bruno Maglis!
