Stop moderating me. It’s annoying and unwarranted.
They take great pleasure in pissing off the commentariat. You know that.
“Comments and questions are welcome.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, misogyny, misandry, libel, abuse, bullying, incitement to hatred and hijacking the usernames of other commenters are not. In fairness.”
Except when they are.
In fairness.
This movie is pretty good – worth a watch (saw it in ADIFF)
Looks great!
That looks really good.
