Always love when a banned member says &#8220;you know I can just keep signing up, so stop banning me.&#8221; Never.
My friend Chris posted a reply to that update:
I love how they think it&#8217;s a game and they&#8217;ll &#8220;win&#8221; if they keep trying. Nothing screams loser more than trying [...]]]></description>
