So when do you suggest I post a thread alerting mods to the issue, given that our new member was literally shitting and puking in thread after thread?

And as it turned out, JC was onto it mere minutes after I posted the OP.

Anyway, why are you so _concerned_?

d’anconia never misses an opportunity to be unpleasant.

I’ve half a memory that not all of the mods are in the States - which would mean that one might be on at just about any time. True or not?

Damn man, someone has a grudge against you. I must admit I laughed at “Leaffan fucks black children”.

Sorry.

Yeah, I know, hence my ‘concerned’ in italics. 😃

Same, thought there might have been the odd European over the years…like **Coldfire** for example.

Right now, I believe all of us are, at a minimum in the same few time zones. I believe we’re all between Eastern and Pacific Time.

But yes, occasionally some of us are up in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

Remember, too, that reporting only goes to that forum’s moderators. So you might now catch whomever’s up.

You pissed in someone’s Cheerios. Personally I think it was a pissed off law society bencher in the Power of Attorney thread.

On the plus side, I’m getting to re-read a bunch of Leaffan’s threads - a bit of a silver lining…

Thinking the same thing. That’s looking for a silver lining for sure.

Yes…the sexual abuse one blew me away. Not sure how I missed it the first tine around (I think I was traveling). I was going to mention this earlier in this thread, but I didn’t want to sound like I was grateful in any way to the jerk who is doing this.

You mean the newish Dark Roast at Timmie’s? Personally, I’m not a fan, but chacun à son goût.
