I would too, you're wallowing in it.  :)

I could dig up a corpse at the cemetery and he/she could do a better job than 
you. :)

Like most echos? I think you're the leader when it comes infringed rules
and warnings going out. Part of your power trip I suppose. People in glass
houses shouldn't throw stones partner. You can power trip all you want to,
I feel sorry for your echo particpants, but I don't have to go there and
listen to you bark out your orders. When you start riding other people for
the things you do 10 fold more, then I'll mention it to ya. Don't like it,
go take it out one of the por suckers in your nazi run echo.

You're a little hitler wannabee.

Btw, I believe you have a run in your nylons sweetie, should run over 
to your favourite femm shop and get some more.

When ya talk like that, I just get the urge to reach over and tweek that
