After a night of monitoring the boards for trolls, my job here is done. Cool

Well if that takeorleave really is a student, I guess he is warning y'all that he comes from a "right" family, and so if one day his father creates a stink and prevents you from leaving the country because you gave his son the "wrong" grade, you are going to wish that you were "connected to the right families"!!!

Bravo trapezius! You are right! Thanks for your support. And, by gosh, you restrained yourself from using petty name-calling such as the tag-team double duo did on this topic. Oh the medium is the message - Hey VS and your buddy - save the name calling for the third grade playground, huh? Classy folks around these parts...but as takeorleave knows bullies lurk around every corner - these two exemplify these character traits - misery loves company for these two lonely expats...

Have you been looking in the mirror again child? It is yourself you are seeing, not us.

If only they were expats. Go back to the sandbox, troll.

You missed this bolded part, takeorleave:

Well if that takeorleave really is a student

BTW takeorleave, would you mind expanding on this:

Quote:
Way back when... his first entries that he later edited back to 'hello' - he admitted to being a student. Thanks for the reminder.


Thanks!

Or anybdoy else, if you wish to expand on that Smile

Trap, he fancies himself/herself quite clever. Good grammar, though not such good comprehension.

Originally, the troll's posts revealed itself as a student (HCT, I believe). It later went back and edited those posts (there were multiple ones on various boards) to say "hello".
