You're a Copybot. You don't have relationships! No one wants you and you're not good to be around. Here's the real thread by a real person from 2 months ago:

NAS Moderator or Kerri-Mod, perhaps Pirate Santa's kind response could be moved to that original thread before deleting this one together with NAS37991?

What is Cassandro on about? The long and the short of it (mostly long) is here.
