The position of FTSC member, in regards to the comment (by Ward, I think), that he was "probably" qualified for that position. As for my ruling, I just figured that if an IC/ZC, and an RC who can't use a proper character set can post bullshit here that they make up, so can I. In fact, I hereby rule that I can permanently do whatever I want, just as they can.

I'm sure he *CAN* fix the character set issue, but purposely chooses not to, because...... he's an asshole. That part is certified by official ruling (by me) to be true. ;-) ....
