JzG indeffing people

Re: Bbb23

Bbb23's treatment of Aron Manning is downright trollish. He refuses to read Aron's arguments, then accuses Aron of IDHT and revokes his talkpage access.

Re: MjolnirPants

All she did for MP in this flame out, was point out the person that he originally insulted in the incident that quickly snowballed into this car crash, looked like a sock. Ah, yes. About that... Luciusfoxx reported MjolnirPants to ANI for such lovely collaborative comments as "fuck your shitty...
