They might have posted in the wrong place. There's no reason to assume malice when incompetence is even more common.


Then again, they might be an asshole.

"Pay them no mind. They're jealous of you." (And you know.... she was correct 95 percent of the time.)

You certainly don't sound like a bot. And even the newest newbie should have seen how many messages you've posted.

I'm so sorry that happened.

I think one of the flaws of humans is we remember the crap. You know? Like I remember every time I had a cast on and that it sucked having to endure one.
