Offensive nicknames or descriptions will not be tolerated and is grounds for immediate dismissal from the discussion. If this is a hardship for you, please avail yourself of the live audio feed alone which will be a separate link.
3) The creator of these "Berettaflies" is invited as thon may have important information towards how to properly identify these creatures and their relevant characteristics. Cooperation and full disclosure is being considered by the authorities in all discussions of official charges pertaining to the release of the Berettaflies.

Dis-inviting Spectrum is just beautiful.

Which led to the six-year old telling me he didn't want to watch Labyrinth again because it was "derivative."
Seriously. Of what? "Theseus and the Minotaur."
Mission accomplished!
