Well? I ever commented on one of your posts that I recall. I don’t know who you are or why I should care.
Are you just one of those hit and run posters we read so much about?
Tell me. What did I say that you take exception to.

I’ll swap you some Mike’s Hard Lemonade for some of what you have. Oh boy, this is going to be good. This is the first time I’ve managed to get a front row seat for one of these.
I wonder how long before Jester sets up the concession stand.

**AM/PM** , I don’t know if you’re guilty or innocent, but taking on **Esprix** is bold, indeed. Never-mind his popularity, never-mind his post count, go look at some of his pit-posts. Deadly with a phrase, is **Esprix**. Hope you’ve got your ducks in a row, or you’re gonna take a beatin’.
Oh, and what thread did this happen in? I missed it.

Ahem. Let me explain things to you AM/PM.
Every post of yours that I’ve seen has been a complaint about the way this board is run, or a dark warning that banned people can simply register under a new username.
It is my experience that low post count people who complain about the admistration of the board, and who have spent a lot of time pondering how and why people are banned, are typically–shocker ahead–returned banned posters.
I imagine you aren’t that sort, otherwise you’d have been kicked out already. I just want to explain why people might think that. And I imagine Esprix had similar thoughts to mine. If you aren’t a returned banned poster, and you hate the way the board is run, then…well, I imagine that you can figure out what to do.

Tis a bold move, **AM/PM**.

While I won’t speak for our dear Esprix, I’ll suggest that it probably has something to with your foaming-at-the-mouth insistance that “There’s no real banning going on here”, a message that you seem to slip into _every single fucking thread_ in which the word “ban” is mention. I think I even saw you say your infamous, one-trick line after someone mentioned a particular brand of deodorant.
Lessee, you quoted _the exact same phrase_ in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87576) in this thread and [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=86926), which seemed to be an extension of your past behavior. You want I should I search even farther back, I’ll only be too happy to, big guy.
If you don’t want to be called on for saying something stupid, then don’t say something stupid.

Any word on whether or not **Esprix’s** new pet **Eduardo** is alive or not? Cuz that might make this even more interesting…

I brought the plastic from the last Gallagher concert Meek. It’s big enough for three or four people. Sorry, I just couldn’t get the watermelon smell out of it though.

Ladeeezzzz and Gennelmen!!!
In THIS cornah :: points :: ------------------\>
we have **Esprix** , beloved Doper, creator of the “Ask the Gay Guy” threads, thoughtful person, and all around good guy. He’s got FAR too many good posts to pick samples, just do a search. If nothing else read the “Ask the Gay Guy” threads for wit, insight, humor and charm, but any thread you pick has an excellent chance of having a gem of wisdom or humor from **Esprix**
In the OTHER cornah :: points :: \<------------------
we have **AM/PM**. Some of his posts include
[An attack on Coldfire](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=41395)
[A “banned posters return” crack, plus flaming in ATMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87576)
[A post where he flames **Pepperlandgirl(!!)**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=41942) because she suggested not engaging in bad behavior. And a return of the “banned posters return” song
[An attempt to flame **Hamadryad**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=65071) (She wins)
[A flame of **Chief Wahoo (aka August West)**. Again **AM/PM** loses.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=40540) (This one’s a classic as **Am/Pm** shows he doesn’t know how to add.)
[And another refrain of “banned posters return”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=87362)
And as the fight gets ready to start, we have to ask: Will the SDMB’s beloved “One Trick Pony” be able to defeat the board’s “One Note Whiner”?
Let’s get ready to rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuumble!

I am afraid you are mistaken sir. A scorpion is not an insect. It is an arachnid, just like spiders and… uh… some more spiders. Is it just me or do they look like they’d be good with some butter?
