I look forward to a plague of scrupulously polite, accurate, and convincing arguments. I’ll be a nice change from the impolite, inaccurate, and infuriating posts that flourished during Collounsbury’s absence. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Truth Seeker \* > \*\*_sigh_ . . . > > Well _that_ didn’t take very long, did it? Anyone know what did it this time? \*\* Well, the only thing I could find that could be considered questionable is [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3774030#post3774030). But it was in the Pit, so I don’t see how it was over the line. I will truly miss his insights into the region; I had always hoped that he could find a way to express himself more civilly, but I never really saw the problem with his posting style. I’ve always felt that the people in GD should develop a thicker skin and that certain people almost deserve personal attacks, given their posting histories.
