Heh. I remember them well. I even remember Capt. Ed, who I was convinced was a sock puppet, but it turned out he was just a garden-variety racist.
Ah, those were the days.

To me, there are many inaccurate implications in the OP. That we ban people on a whim, that we don’t provide explanations, that we are not receptive to curious or apologetic responses, or that people who question the bans always have a fundamental respect for the crap we have to put up with.
But I think the implication that an Admin can actually interrupt a poster in mid-post is funny too. This is a message board, not a David Mamet play.
These allegorical posts are starting to get a little annoying. If you a poster’s style sickens you, whether you think he’s a mod basher or kiss ass, make that poster the subject of your rant. Provide specific examples to support your hypothesis.
It’s easy to make hypothetical posters in a hypothetical situation appear however you want them to appear. But the trolley only stops in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe for so long. If you can demonstrate to the posting community that an actual poster is a kiss-ass, then you’ve accomplished something.
Links to pictures of said ass-kissing would be most appreciated.
I read that as “the trollery” the first two times through.
The above observation is connected to no point other than that I like fnords (used in a personal sense of “goofy misreading of a word that isn’t there” instead of the strict discordian (I like putting the words “strict discordian” together) sense), and usually find my own pretty entertaining.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, the world needs its ditchdiggers, too.
Well, for whatever it’s worth, I found the OP hilarious, IzzyR…
