Yeah. There is no agenda. There is no allegiance. There is not a reason to apologize. Let the hair on your chest grow! I am by no means in "Ravi's group." LMAO Ravi is fun to play with and he really pays attention to how words are used, probably more so because English is a second language to him, I believe, and he is sensitive to bullshit buzz words. Like Kali's Pimp. He too, takes on ignorance with her dress on! (his/her same thing.) So come back on here, instead of pretending you were beat up or were not respected. It took me a long time to get anyone's response around here, and I feel good that I hung in here. I do take a break once in a while, but I thoroughly enjoy reading everyone's posts. So why would that be considered a gang bang hang up routine? Or a wham bam thank you ma'am?
I feel so used! I really dislike the guy making me a one night stand!
