    Just gonna pop in here for a sec - they’ve been using that character since they joined the server. Plus, not everyone lives in North America…

    So now that you know - don’t be “that guy”.

      I know who the guy is, it’s him and someone else using thorn. And I said something among those lines in my post. I stand by what I’m saying, I think it’s fine for them to express themselves however, but when they are making serious points or asking to be taken seriously, the thorns hinder that goal.

          How many times do I have to repeat that

          1. I am fine with him doing this.
          2. it’s advice for his own good if he wants to be taken seriously.

          Before you and the other guys understand my point?

      If this was an ESL situation no one would have a problem, but they clearly know how to write without that symbol. It’s annoying af.
