And in the meantime, look at the play one sick post has gotten. With all this attention, whoever the schmuck is, he or she must really be feeling the warmth of celebrity. Which brigs me back to my preference to simply ignore this kind of sh!t. <br><br>Sure there are some that you might be able to reason with. But they're easy to spot because they stay in the thread and keep posting. They're leaving a door open to spin the dialog in a positive direction. But these one-off stink-bombs leave no option but to ignore.<br><br>But, as in this case, the more dramatics, the more validation the poster feels.<br><br>

What would you expect to see? Lightning? Hosannahs from yonder mountain top?<br><br>If anyone you may have suspected is still here, it just indicates that your suspicions were wrong. Or someone merely got a slap on the wrist. If he or she is gone, that's all that matters.<br><br>
eh..it doesn't take anything more than a click of a link or something..not very long at all. <br><br>But then again....he did reply with "Done!"<br><br>
