I mean hell there are days were I actually miss Carol Stream, usually that’s after reading one of Ivn’s post in the pit. He seemed to just be a fly on the wall prior to Carol’s banning. I think the distinct personalities bring flavor to the SDMB. I’ll concede rules are rules and you Moderators have to do your job. I just don’t want to see the pre-emptive goodbye thread immediately turn in to the out the door thread which is the way it seemed to be headed. If I get banned from the board, I’ll be sad for about 15 minutes. Really, honestly. There are tons of other message boards on the internet. I know how to build one myself. It really doesn’t matter that much to me. I’m not saying I WANT to leave, but it’s not that big of a deal to me if I do. Sure, I go up and down, but believe me, getting permanently banned from the Straight Dope just won’t matter that much to me. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-pre-emptive-goodbye/527417)._
