> Dude, at the moment, you’re jumping up and down, waving your arms, and screaming “Ban me” at the top of your lungs. If you continue, I expect someone will grant your wish relatively quickly. Or, you could go grab a smoke, take a walk, or otherwise do anything besides continuing to beg for banning, and you prolly won’t get banned. Your call.

Not really. I’m pretty calm here. I love how you guys get all hyperbolic about this shit.

No really. The stakes are REALLY REALLY REALLY low. Meaning, as I recognize that my ‘give a shit threshold’ is low, that it’s inevitable.

That is all.
