Shattered has stated publicly that this post of mine was "inappropriate." Perhaps my appropriateness compass is a bit off, but compared to much of what gets posted here at USMB, I consider this to be on the tame side. Not to mention it's a really old joke anyway. Quote:

Rep Power: 204 | | | It was over the line when you said it to me once about me and someone I can't stand, so I have to side with Shat on this one.

Rep Power: 24 | | | well considering what I've read on this board I wouldn't say that's over the line per se. It's not very nice but it's within the boundaries that I've seen set here.
it's actually pretty funny...or at least it made me laugh... *shrug*

Rep Power: 65 | | | That post was nothing to the filth you post, Shogun. So I am going to assume you're being funny.
Or mayhap your lip is stuck to Shat's zipper.

  It all depends upon who draws the "line in the sand" on this board. And it is obvious who is drawing it.  |

Rep Power: 35 | | | What you said isn't over the line, but questioning a moderator's judgment is, as I've been told. Plus, if what Shattered said is true, you're crossing the line anyway.

Rep Power: 7 | | | I don't know what rules you are breaking but even if it isn't a rule some should not cross a certain line, I have and regretted it! And like Shattered said, you are not suppose to to refer to private messages.

I won't unless I ask the person who posted it to me in the first place, unless you get permission from the one who sent you the post you really shouldn't, what is private should remain so. One main reason is that it's too easy to post it 'out of context' or even misquote it to make them look worse.
