    Can't somebody block this fuckers IP or something? I'm getting really tired of reading this over and over again.

    There's something to be said for a mechanism that blocks out this crap. Couldn't be that hard, this gay little piece of poetry has only been posted about a zillion times...

    This guy's really really ready to get out of the closet now and introduce us to his boyfriend. He's obviously almost worked through all his fear and anger.

    Let's help him some by forcing him to actually use his brain instead of just copy-pasting "funny" fluff.

    As soon as the update finished downloading, I was no longer able to launch Camino, Firebird, or Mozilla. In other words, any Mozilla-based browser. Can anyone else confirm that???

    I am sorry sir, but I do not respond to homosexual advances. Please take your fruity colored Mac shit away from me. I do not need your homosexuality.

    However, perhaps Pudge is looking for a date. Have you asked him out?

    It's amazing how fast that download went, what with half the computers in the U.S. offline. Slashdot, on the other hand, is crawling for some reason. Could be that most of Ontario still doesn't have power, so there are fewer local links to the backbone.
