Joke? I scanned in Brnco's birth certificate. It's not my fault his mother wouldn't tell him I was his real dad.
Seriously, I don't know why the post was reported or removed. It wasn't offensive in any way I can think of (ie remember). He said I was a peasant, so I made a reply saying I'd send something via a means only peasants would know. If my post was removed, why wasn't his? Was I offending peasants by outing them as merely real people, and not the God-like figures they are in Warcraft?
