Jesus christ! (Wait Don’t Take My Name In Vein!) Oh okay Jizzy Chrizzy! (Don’t Call ME Jizzy Chrizzy! Oh okay then.

Boo-hoo! Banned for what? Starting a few threads in a row? Only one of them was in poor taste. Oh yeah **Ferrous** what I child I am :rolleyes:

Um, I think Pretty Colors alone is grounds for us to lock you in a room with Jerry the Tech God and his choice of weapons/methods of torture.

Don’t roll your eyes at me, you drooling moron. It’s not that your threads are in poor taste, it’s that they’re mind-numbingly stupid, and a waste of bandwidth. Surely there are places where such idiocy would be welcome, but this isn’t one of them.

Just because my post wasn’t of a highly intelligent matter it is automatically a waste of bandwith? Then why not just get rid of MPSIMS? It’s mostly\* worthless in that regards.

\*I say mostly because if you like someone here you can find out what great things are going on in people’s lifes, like when someone has a child.

Banned because this is a site designed for intellectual stimulation. You probably failed to realize that because the gray matter that had to be displaced to make room for the gerbil wheel doesn’t allow you to comprehend the concept of “intelligence.”

What is with everyone here and just because someone get’s your underwear all bunched up you immedeately start insulting their intelligence? If I were as thin skinned as you all I’d probably be a bit upset, but I’m not.

Um, what part of “Don’t be a Jerk” do you not understand?

Posting thread after thread after thread-instead of say, keeping it to ONE main thread-is a drain on BANDWIDTH. Which the Reader pays for out out of its own pocket, and is not making any money on.

When you’re a guest at someone’s house, you don’t shit on their carpet-and then accuse them of being thin-skinned.

Sunshine, even if half the threads around here _are_ stupid - they are still more amusing to read then the crap threads you started.

Kindly get it through your skull: You’re acting like a jerk and, to be honest about it, you’re not very funny.

Searching his posts…acting like an idiot right after he registered a year ago, (c.f. “Smile!”), then nothing, then here he is again acting like an idiot some more. Forget his password? Only gets online at summer camp? Oh well - such a meteoric SDMB career ahead of him, tragically cut short…

I’m guessing that school is out for the summer for **DippityDoo** , and he suffered a massive boredom attack today.

Doesn’t excuse his behavior, though.

hey **Guin** I’m sorry, but I’ve been trying to palm off my son since I got here w/no takers, so I doubt that the admins would take him on as a ‘reward’ for helping rid themselves of a pest. Kinda like Ying/Yang sort of thing, you know?

On the OP,  
well, when you’re looking down that tunnel, and see a light at the end, it just might be that train heading your way.

What was the deal with that “colors” thread? I tried to open it twice, and both times it crashed my browser! I didn’t think there was any way to do that with this software.

Ok, so he looks like an ass and probably deserved the banning.  
But he posted an Eddie Izzard obref! How bad can he be?
