I don't think this is an ILXor, or is he?

He's a dirty rotten caption-stealing cheat.

did i say rounds or bullets? Either way twas hardly worldwide unique. So he v likely came up wi'th himself and wont be reading this. But if you are, tom, i hope you die roaring you dirty bollocks.

i'd like to propose that we just assume that thomas c leonard is a lurker and stole it and deserves to die. YOU DESERVE TO DIE THOMAS C LEONARD

Well i didnt wanna say but obv
