1. "To me Mike embodied all that was sort-of good and semi-decent in our hobby. Now, he's been banned. Go figure."
2. "Back off the Birds, we know where you live and what your bike looks like."

Talk about changing gears! First you're when I get banned and now you're threatening my Snortster??? Guess I hit a bird nerve.
Quack quack.

(and btw, "sort of" and "semi-decent" are qualifying remarks, thereby negating the initial compliment. Thanks a lot )
