Would you mind divulging the principled objection you voiced against the way the SD was being run which they have finally caved on?

I wanted Spanish coffee in the morning, and they kept serving me Irish coffee.

Apparrently Zotti has agreed to ban me. That’s about the only thing I can figure. I can still post, so they haven’t flipped the switch yet. If I don’t get to say goodbye…

You’ll be fine as long as you tow the line.  
Now, repeat after me: “_Xanadu_ was a cinematic masterpiece that deserved to sweep the Oscars, and scotch eggs are the perfect food.”

Yeah yeah yeah. I’ve seen this angle before. You’re gonna turn babyface for about a year, then agree to be my tag team partner in a Steel Cage match against \*\*Dio \*\*and **Der Trihs** , with \*\*Brain Glutton \*\*and **Gonzomax** as special referees. I’ll play the face in peril, come to you for the hot tag, and Whammo! You turn heel, leading a 5-1 beatdown on Oak in the cage. **Skald** will lead the babyface lockerroom out to attempt a save, but be unable to get into the cage before I’m a bloody mess. Then the next Saturday on TBS, you cut a memorable promo about how “It’ll NEVER be over, Dusty”.

Well, except for you aren’t Ole Anderson, and I’m not Dusty Rhodes, and those aren’t The Assassins, and the Dope doesn’t even have a steel cage. But otherwise, very much like that. And shit.
