It is entirely optional. The site default is to NOT require BBcode. Do not pretend that it is.

Fuggit, here you go.
Now, it so happens that I have a lifelong friend of the age of 77. So I took the time to show her your posts. As a lifelong housewife and mother with no education even she said and I quote "This guy is just taking the piss. Why are you giving him the attention he clearly wants?". Frankly, I had no evidential leg upon which to stand.
How do you respond?
