I don't know about you, but I found Gertrude hilarious. As mentioned in 'who do you like least' thread, Gertrude's a troll who's been trying to start flame wars on this forum for some time now. But he's so transparently incapable of doing it that we're just now taking his threads for joyrides.

About the LS jokes, better LS jokes than LS accusations, no? Being irreverent every now and then does keep tempers and tensions low. Or at least, that's my strategy. Sorry you don't like it. Come to the tavern and have a drink, maybe you'll like it after you're drunk. :)
