[Trash-talk] Re: Curve

[starvin' at nette]

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it at all......... The vocabulary in the 
article went a little over my head, so I didn't fully understand it. That's 
why I thought it was weird and decieded to post it. Judging from everyones 
reactions it was a hugely negative writing and I probably shouldn't have 
posted it at all....
