   I didn't advise you to do shit, asshole.  I certainly didn't say    
   anything about requoting the entire post. That's more of your made-up    
   nonsense.  I simply stated that the part I was responding to was    
   immediately before my response which you deleted in your response then    
   say you can't understand what I meant.  You have mental problems.  Go    
   see a psychiatrist.

   He was just saying it was the mad planet.  He wasn't giving it a name.    
   Damn, you're dense.
