General, you are over reacting just as much as she did about this whole thing. It's stupid, nobody cares about your username, and just let it go. We all know it's not offensive, and you are a good poster. Don't over react about this situation so much.

Wow, I guess people could get the wrong idea from my name as well. General, I am offended by your Braves and Yankees, but the name is okay, although I liked the Russian stuff better. But then again you got alot of flak over Stalin and the whole communism thing.

It's from a Tribes fan. You didn't honestly expect anything better, did you?

Wow. So much to quote in this thread...

What? Good character to stay with a Psycho? He is an idiot. He should of left after she did. How could someone stay when that girl runs off, and fakes her own kidnapping, and has all these cops looking for her just to get attention. I can't believe she is going on all these TV shows now to 'tell her story.' Disgusting.

I agree with General being one of the best posters here, though.

Actually the 'large majority of posters' wouldn't be offended, because like Steak they know that General is one of the best posters here.

This was great. My favorite was Nazi4Life.

If this is the best thing Jennifer can do with her time, I feel sorry for her.

One thing you and I can agree on is that she probably has more integrity than you.

Yeah, what integrity. Lying to her husband, and then lying to police officers, and then becoming a millionaire off of it.

No.

It's a message board handle. Get over it. If your that easily offended, you're going to have a rough life.

I actually fell out of my chair laughing at this. I think I will Rep+ you everyday for a week.

Oh, and regarding the 'other' Jennifer, if I was that guy, I'd pimp smack her to the ground, take my ring, and kick her for good measure. He's as whipped as they come.

I raised my son to cook, clean, and work for a living. Now go make your own breakfast or starve to death! I'm your mama, not your servant, honey.
