Wow, pretty passionate about your stance? I guess not everyone was born with a wrench in their hand, or had to learn the hard way. I don't know Instigator's financial situation, but maybe he isn't worried about this whole ordeal? I never heard him b!tch about people telling him the wrong info, or that he couldn't afford to do things right. Looks like he gave it a shot, and some things didn't work out. Maybe give him a break?
