If you are not a contributor and you act like you did as "Gofer", that is outrageous. There are many non-contributors who see no mention of their status. Either they can't afford it or don't want to pay. No problem. But when they totally disrupt the board with such incredibly child like nonsense, then it will become an issue. Pay up this time and act like an adult. You may even enjoy it around here.
