You could be right. After all, no one in authority has stopped you. Personally, I don’t like skirting along the edges of rules to see what I can get away with. The mods’ jobs are tough enough without all that.

Glad to see you are back in fine form!

Did you have to practice to be as sanctimonious as you are, Liberal?

I’m guess it’s a innate talent.

As for me, I’m looking forward to heaping lots of postban scorn on DiogenesTheCynic and Razorsharp. I practice by heaping on the preban scorn whenever the mood strikes.

All I can say is, poor **KellyM**. She did her best to answer a question that humankind has been asking since the dawn of time. Too bad **Blackacre** only wrote his OP in order to bait a flamewar. ☹

**KellyM** , I (as well as many other dopers, I’m sure), am very interested in what you have to say on the matter. Would you mind posting a little more detail, like where you feel it, what kind of muscles are used, etc.? Thank you. 😉

I don’t doubt it. After all, a man who will brag in advance about shitting on the rules is capable of pretty much anything. But when you start in on Dio, either now or later, I’ll be there to intercept. You may exercize your cowardice all you like, but I’ll get in your face while you’re still here.

I didn’t know there were rules against such things. I’d like a cite because I’m disinclined to take your word for it, you having demonstrated at best a nodding relationship with reality. Your assessment of “cowardice” is dismissed, since if it is cowardice to attack people who are not here to defend themselves, every negative statement you’ve posted about various U.S. presidents, officials and celebrities makes _you_ a coward, ya big fat scaredy-cat.

As for when I “start in on Dio”, you’re several years too late. Taking shots at Dio is a regular amusement for me and I must have done so several times just in the last week. If the price of that is you being, heh-heh, in my “face”, I’ll just (snicker, chuckle) have to take (chortle, giggle) the RISK! (bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa…)

By the way, why doesn’t Razorsharp deserve your defense? Could it be artistic differences? Incidentally, I don’t like Reeder, either, so feel free to jump to his defense while you’re at it. He’s already been banned for a month, though, and it doesn’t seem to have mellowed him, so I expect his post-ban party to be sooner than the others.

Reeder got banned?!?! Where the heck have I been? I actually enjoyed his rants!

Not really. _Gaudere_ put him on enforced suspension for a month back in October. He’s back and posting now.

And much improved. I’ve agreed with him twice already.
