My post is a legitimate opinion backed up by reason and fact. You may disagree with it, Nathan, for that is your right. However, it does not belong here. The moderator should rename this thread "The Deluge of Posts that Red Avatars do not Approve Of." This whole thread is utterly disgusting and is a testament to close minded, anti-intellectual thought.
