i don't really think this thread needs to be the "enumerate echis goofs" thread. look at your old posts where people have been like "wtf" and you've been probated or banned and learn from past mistakes. if you want to talk about it more, feel free to PM me though. like, i want you to get better because i like you. if i didn't, i'd just take potshots occasionally and not respond to you :)
