At first he just annoyed me, but fucking with **Eve** and **KellyM** is just _beyond_ jerk.

's because it’s easier pander than it is to wait patiently while more crappola is spewn here.

(Seriously, folks? Flaming might make you feel good, but if the past page of this thread and the IMHO thread are any indication, there is a certain lack of sincere motivation on someone’s party. Plus if there’s anything to be gleaned from **Eve** and **KellyM** ’s posting histories, it’s that they can defend themselves as well as anyone else can defend them.)

Now the question remains - what took so long? I guess it doesn’t matter but after violation after violation, one has to wonder…

I said this way back in the **Blackacre** infestation – there must have been a drought of admins available to smite the troll. The mods can warn and lock threads, but they can’t actually wield the axe.

Thank you, whichever admin did the deed!

This parrot is dead " " It’s pinning for the fiords " 🙂

Just a parting explanation: Referring to “parrot spit”, in the old country, means something that is so unimportant that it is below “Baba de perico”. It is made worse by the fact that it is something that doesn’t exist. That expression is similar to the old “banana oil”

Public apology (unsolicited, if anyone cares) for having said this. Clearly, things were happening in the Moderators’ Fortress of Solitude of which we mere mortals were unaware, and having extended our young friend enough rope, they then lowered the boom on him. I should have realized that, and not made that comment.

Thanks again to you folks with the funny hats! 🙂

They certainly can! However, I was a weak, disliked little boy – and the bullies picked on me. Then they grew up – physically at least – and began being abusive to women.

So it’s a personal failure in being non-sexist that I feel a need to stand up in defense of women, or of defenseless little boys – and in particular of women who _were_ defenseless little boys!

Hmmmph – last time I take **your** advice. There were a lot of, uh, posts by him that I’d missed, of the same quality as the ones that I’d seen. Can you supply some antiseptic soap and a good scrubbrush for my eyeballs, please?
