   This is a classic example of snit, Brock McNuggets attempting to set up   
   another one of his trolls.   
   Do not be fooled.   
      
   If you reply to him it will turn into a shit show food fight because snit   
   is not a normal person.   
   In case you don't believe it, look here for information regarding the   
   snit troll.   
   Also be aware that he likes to sock up so watch carefully.
