So yourself, holiday, Carson and Jeannie whover she is out of 3000 hate MPF, big deal I can actually live with that lol
You say I'm bad for thinking about creating an educational authentication website when there is already one. But you recreated the wheel with your forum when there are already 3? (which I have ni problem about) That's a bit 2 hypacritcal don't you think!! I still don't have a problem with your forum, even now as I'm not vindictive. But it's not what you've got, it's the way that you do it. Your not welcome back on MPF and I'm not saying anything more on the matter as much as I want to, I think mopo doesn't need this as it's turned malicous. Lie as much as you want to try and slander MPF - as far as I'm concerned this conversation is over and apologies for mopo for it escallating.
