That is okay, Bob.  NO ONE thought you would actually respond.  You just
repeat your paranoid rant.

I have not, would not, and can not affect the rules in your echo.  No one
has sabotaged your echo, except possibly you through your violation of your
own rules.

Are you going to threaten someone now?  Your delusions are getting out of hand.
