Welcome back. I hope you haven’t suffered the same fate as McMurphy in your absence.

can someone just apologise to euth, give him a free subscription for his trouble, and end this? Retire Lynn too and give her her watch. This is getting silly.

The staff had a long discussion and I think we’ve come to a resolution. (Nothing drastic, don’t fret.) I intent to post something soon but have been busy and haven’t had a chance. With luck later today.

an apology to the guy is all that is needed. Can someone do that?

It is not my impression that any of the staff feel he is owed one.

My 2 cents.

I know exactly how you feel.

Regardless of how the staff feel, he _is_ owed one. Not necessarily for the suspension, if it was under the aegis of telling **LB** to fuck off while she was acting in a moderator capacity - but certainly for the original warning.

No argument here; but if history is any guide, he won’t get one. Just sayin’.

I’ve responded to some of the concerns expressed here in a new thread; see:

> **[Acceptable conduct in the Pit - NON-PIT RULES APPLY](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=497954)**
>
> The SDMB staff has discussed the situation in the BBQ Pit and has concluded as follows: Some posters and staff (myself included) feel the Pit can sometimes get out of hand, where a small minority of overly abusive posters can make discussions...

To keep the discussion focused, I’m closing this thread.
