So, the guy didn’t appreciate having to negotiate civilized world politics with people who haven’t evolved their societies in 3,000 years and refuse to wear shoes. Let the guy vent.

@excon You're also an idiot who tries to bully people in an attempt at manipulating them into silence. I hate idiots that bully people into silence.

And before you whine, I didn't call you a name. I identified you for you. I assumed that responsibility over your existence. Just like you did. Dumbass. Another identifier.
