Ok, I'm gonna nip this in the bud, right now.
I'm friends with Brian and with Hal, so there's no bias from the troll point of view.
I'm deleting the shit posts, but will not remove the thread so people can read this.
Hal, your issues with Brian need to be taken up personally. You have his number, so take it up with him personally. There is a limit of shit that can be appropriate, this is not one. I'd do the same if it were concerning you and Ashley.
