Can you please retire from LL?
No one likes you.  You say dumb things.  The type of things, that when read, make one's jaw drop in utter amazement at the lack of intelligence that is included in each of your posts.  Making fun of you was okay at first.  In fact, I enjoyed it, it was funny.  But when you make fun of someone for so long and they don't realize they're not liked, it becomes rather tedious.  CoachOwensMoralCompass was as funny to me as to anyone else, but for chrissakes, can there be a conversation about beer or other fun things that are bad for you without you intervening for once?  It's gone from funny to rather irritating.  

I know you're going to respond to me with some sort of lame witty insult about how no, it is me who is not liked.  Well, yeah, I'm probably not the most popular here, but whatever.  Or you'll ask Jeff to put a stop to this.  Why can't he put a stop to the insight you add to this website, then?  Why can't we just get along?  Because you are not fun to talk to.

Stop saying dumb things.  If you have any thought at all that what you are saying might be partially stupid, just don't say it.  I think the red flags that tell you "Hey, maybe I shouldn't say this" don't go up in your mind when something dumb crops up in there.

Anyways, enough ranting.  Just like, go away, and stuff.  We're bored of your antics.
