Simply put, you're here to enhance or improve your REAL life, not
replace it. Like others seem to have. :)

And who in the hell says OMH could stand getting punched in the
face??? You're taking YOUR philosophies on life and ascribing them to
others.

reclaim a feeling of victory over some bully offline. The
possibilities are just endless.
