I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.

The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.

I'll be over on [email protected].

I can't believe this! I've been feeding starlings near me with bits of Greggs baguettes and pastries.

Have I received a stone?

Have I bollocks!!

Selfish little bastards - I'm going on strike. No more will they take advantage of my altruistic nature!

I thought I was building an army of starlings! Instead I've been taken for a fool!

I hate starlings with a passion. Sorry but they are beating out a lot of my local song birds.

They've taken over a lot of niches in North America.

I don't think starlings give gifts.I could be wrong tho.

Starlings don't give presents. They just want to go for a car ride.

You should chew off some of your toenails for them. Don't be stingy.
