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.

“So please, someone come and say something controversial” looks suspiciously like an invitation to troll. You’ve been here long enough to know this is a bad idea.
Nah. Things are only debatable if they are controversial. I used the word in a very uncontroversial manner. By definition every topic worthy of GD is controversial.
My mistake was not posting it in IMHO or MSPSIMS and asking for it to be moved after two posts.
Your “mistake” was not deliberately posting a thread in the wrong forum?
Mswas, get over yourself and stop acting like a martyr. Getting yourself banned from a message board is not going to impress anyone. There’s no vast conspiracy against you because nobody cares.
If you want to continue posting here, start following the rules of the people who run the board. If you don’t want to post here, then just stop posting. Come back in a few weeks and see if anyone noticed your absense.
Yes.
I’m not getting myself banned.
LOL. I think you missed the point of this thread.
I know this concept is a very difficult one for people to grasp.
I want to continue posting for as long as it is tenable to do so. If it becomes untenable I will shrug and probably be more productive.
mswas meet Silverstreak Wonder.
Sometimes you are judged by the company you keep.
Mellophant. . . batton down the hatches. Incoming!
Mellophant called and said if they have to take him, they get to bat first, and his outs don’t count.
This doesn’t even make any sense.
Heffalump and Roo I was one of the first people to sign onto Domebo.
The analogy makes perfect sense. Mods be repressin your expressin until it get depressin, but it still ain’t impressin. Same thing SW argued. It didn’t work for him, either.
Then don’t insult people. As capricious rules go, it’s a pretty simple one.
Nope, I am just saying Goodbye and pointing out the difference of opinion between myself and the mods. Most of my warnings were IMO unwarranted. And what I am saying is that I will most likely in a fit of pique get that last warning.
That is all.
Or start threads that offend liberal sensibilities of course.
So why is the only person who posted not one, but two insults in this thread, where no insults should ever be posted (ATMB) not receiving an official warning? :dubious:
Our pique or yours? This is really stupid, and it’s more emptive than pre-emptive.
You mean this one?

Oh? I am already banned? If the answer is no at the time of the OP then it is pre-emptive by definition.
You and I both know that if mods join in the debate and call moderator privilege, I’m not going to take that bullshit. So I’ll be banned for it.
That is Tomndebb’s favorite thing to do. To advance the debate during a moderator warning, and then consider any further debate about the points he advances as questioning the ruling of a mod.
**Twickster **simply locks threads that she doesn’t approve of the content of personally.
You of course were acting within the letter of the law, but you also know that you have enforcement discretion, and you knew that my thread today wasn’t going to get out of hand.
I don’t see anything wrong with forcing someone to state their views first. I just wish this was enforced more. mswas certainly isn’t the first name that pops in my mind when I think of posters who do driveby quoting. But that’s not to say the warning and lock was not justified: it was, IMO.
Where did I say the thread was going to get out of hand? I asked you to post an actual proposition for debate beacuse that’s how Great Debates works. (I could have just locked the thread without inviting you to elaborate, but I thought that was unnecessary and heavy-handed.) You refused. You pays your money and you takes your chances.
The rest of your post is sort of the Mswas Greatest Hits. Since you’re still not banned, maybe you’d like to put them on two cassettes or one compact disc and sell them by infomercial?
