: .. it was the whole shirt thing that got it deleted but that Ben and Ming have had it with the 3 of you and your constant idolizing of Kevin far and beyond the normal of the board.
3 of whom? I'm assuming you mean Rena, Kelley and I. And why should Ben or Ming give a flying fuck, or even a zero gravity fuck, if we ooh and ah over Kevin? Big friggin' deal! Jen S. herself said it didn't have an effect on her, so why should anyone else care? Like it's a threat to the American way of life or something. And don't tell me it's beyond the norms of the board, 'cause this board is 95% male and I'd be a bit surprised (or at least a bit intrigued) if Kevin-obsession were a normal thing around here.
It's their job to clean the board, so fine, let 'em erase whatever. But I can't go with the argument that this deletion was justified because they're tired of the Kevin fixations. Compared to some of the stupid shit that gets posted & stays on this board, our odes to Mr. Smith's masculinity are Shakespeare. Furthermore, they're our opinions and they are definitely VA-related (especially since Rena was talking *merchandise*, not just gushing) so mothafunk anyone who finds that inappropriate.
Clearly, I need a break from this place since I'm taking this way too seriously. Guess I'll take Dude's advice and go on hiatus. Peace.
