I’ve got a big problem with you questioning ijka’s moral compass Archived Message Posted by Jackie on April 3, 2025, 11:00:56, in reply to "Which part is confusing you?" Like him, I have not been following the full story and have not commented on the events. Like him, I do not find myself in beefs generally. So feel free to share an utterly ignorant assessment of my moral compass as well. Previous Message Do you think Sounder complains too much? Causes all his own problems, perhaps?
