[QUOTE="macaroni, post: 345242, member: 1441"] QUOTE(Deep Purple @ Jun 22 2009, 01:36 AM) [snapback]345172[/snapback] Quite a few on this board are in the business of dogging 19- and 20-year-olds based on how well they play a game. I don't see the mob mentality circling around them. It's the same context in which many criticisms have been targeted at many people by name.
