This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Nah, you don't suck here, Lee. Maybe you suck elsewhere.... Dunnoh.

Look, anyone should, at this point feel free to call me out on any similar behaviour.  I've been known to become over-invested and pedantic on teh interwebs.  It's easy to do.  I have benefitted from a few, "chill the F out, you don't even know the person you are arguing with. Who cares if they think X about your opinion" comments.

So, Lee, nothing personal. The self deprecation is nice, just know I am NOT trying to make you feel lousy about yourself.
