Things I have learned since making the plea above...

• People can handle a pug as Christ, but not as Superman.
• Apparently the Fediverse thinks you're both a fascist and a commie. This indicates that you're doing something right.
• You've been doing this all for us. This is clearly the problem, because we're grumpy ungrateful motherfuckers and keep rolling your boulder back down the hill. The solution? Trebuchets, coupled with a healthy dose of "I don't give a fuck if those mofos don't get out of the way this time".
• Some people clearly should never own pets.

But despite all the trials, trolls, and tribulations, you answered our call. My faith in Dog is restored.

Also, been following you since the kbin days. You're Fediverse famous now, dawg. That's almost 5% of the way to internet famous, and also means that when you leave, the Fediverse wilts like a first year history major trying to describe French-Indochina in the 50s. Like the Picard Maneuvar and Satan's Maggoty Cumfart, your pugly mug is now one of the faces of this place, and with you gone, we're stuck with maggoty cumfarts and star trek memes.

In other words, Reddit.

So, if your faith in what you post ever gets lost in the trolling, know that for every grumpy asshole, there's a faithful shitposter looking to you for inspiration, or at least directions to a quality copper merchant in ancient Sumeria.
