Hey, I didn't start this and I didn't start cussing someone out off the
top of the bat either. I grew up in the streets where you learn *NOT* to
let someone step on you. The Internet is no more than the streets to me
  and I will apply street mentality when necessary and by any means
necessary.

I hope this is the end too because I am tired of that lunatic. :)
