I have a theory that our new “friend”, Lotion is actually another contentious person who finally seemed to exit when nobody wanted to play his games. That other person used the screen name “Tarcaulk”. If this isn’t “Tarcaulk”, it is certainly someone else who seems to be here only to argue with people.
