Re:1.0.0, my tail feathers

[Deusy]

You: "[Gaim] displays a big, mandatory connect window whenever it tries to reconnect."

Me: "Only for people that are too fucking stupid to explore the preferences."

You: "Yuh huh. And that preference would be where?"

Well, it took me all of 2s to enable the "auto reconnect" plugin that came with my installation of Gaim. Then it's just a case of checking all the options in the preferences of that plugin.

Well done for being an idiot. *claps*

The rest of your comment is not worth replying to. Calling me a simpleton and you can't even sort something that simple out? And resorting to attempting to insult me for your own lack of intelligence. Really, you should know better than to argue with a "baseless intolerant elitist who badmouths others to make himself feel better about being a hermit". The fact that you were "baselessly" "badmouthing" gaim because you are an impatient intellectually challenged twat who is "elitist" about his right to bitch about the work of volunteers (talk about "intolerance") kinda pissed me off. So, yeah, I was a little rude.

Dickhead.

Sticks 'n' stones. :)
