I was about to say this but you beat me to it. I personally have not had interactions directly with Srupp but I have seen how much he contributes and supports others on this site for quite some time.
I think some people need to just chill the f out and take some humor for what it is. Srupp is stand up and should not have to defend himself considering how much he has helped others over the years.
With that said, let's get some dates slotted and go count some sheep!
