TenneseeStud, Trixmoto is one of the nicest, most indulgent and helpful contributors to this forum, and in an already friendly community such as this one, that's saying a lot.
Besides that, he's almost certainly the most prolific author of scripts for use with MM.
When he wrote the line that you're objecting to he included a smiley-face emoticon in order to signal that he was joking. In case there was any doubt, upon reading the rest of his post that should've been clear to you.
As an aside--are two people posting under the screen-name "TenneseeStud"? As a (very!) amateur linguist, I'd like to know how the person who writes so clearly and formally in this instance...
-"Please do explain to me what you mean about the status of my Mouth not affecting this forum. I never said it did in the first place did I? I just said I'd just shut up and not participate in the goings on here til I really had something to add that could be counted as affective. Period. "
can at other times write like this...
-"Please if'n U will, I'd be most appreciative, that mush I promise."
-"I'd appreciate it if'n someone can tell me if'n it's gonna happen or what?"
-"Howdy Y'all, I just wanted to reinforce just how Fxxx' happy I really am W/Media-Monkey. Dontcha believe me, huh?"
-"Some 1 Please correct me if'n I'm wrong, cause I haven't received it so far......."
