Welllllll thennnnnn..... Hahahaha..... Loved this.... Adored it, in fact learned from it... Learned how to hate properly... Thanks for this, and I quite agree... That last word, though, perfect as a sum... Hilariously penned...

Thank you, Silente. Don't waste your energy hating them, though; they are too contemptible for that!

[apennylate]

Ahh, well alright, I shall put my energy into ignoring them, hah...
