Did you just pull Esprix’s name out of a hat? Have you ever read even one of his threads?
:: giggle :: Esprix not getting to the point. Esprix(!!!) pussyfooting around to avoid debate! (hee!)
Why, that would be like accusing me of not being long-winded.

If not convincing people was your goal, my son, then you have succeeded admirably.
And since when is “Mods are Liiiiaaaaars and baaaaanned posters come baaaaack” an anecdote?
Well, AM/PM, I was giving you the BOD, but you’ve settled all question of your guilt in a single post. I really must congratulate you, Sir. I’ve rarely seen an issue settled more completely, and without intervention by your intened target, no less.
I think, at this point, that the much anticipated butt-kicking by Esprix would be gilding the lilly. There’s very little more that he can do to you, that would be any funnier than what you’ve done to yourself. Or was that your plan?

Smarmy MC comes out. “Ladies and Gentlemen, due to technical difficulties, Fenris cannot perform tonight…”

(slightly off key) LALALALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU!
LALLALALLALALALA Whatever I say is true!
Banned posters never stay banned
I know them all like the back of my hand!
The Mod’s lie
And I cry!
I sigh.
Look! A Fly!
No one ever stays banned for good
Nothing ever works out like it should
Coldie’s a Nazi or a Commie, it’s true!
Manhattan and Alpha are prob’ly ones too!
The Mod’s lie!
And I cry!
I sigh!
I must fly!

Come on, guys. This kind of pile-on is unseemly and does not reflect well on the membership of these boards.
AM/PM has made some very valid points. I am incredibly insecure. Esprix is gay. Everyone else here is a cocksmoker. (I’m going for tone, not direct quotes, here.)
I just can’t believe that a place which supposedly commits itself to fighting ignorance would be so intolerant of one who has obviously spent long, agonizing minutes coming up with the right turns-of-phrase to put his points across as clearly and succinctly as possible.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I will not be a party to this kind of “get the monster” (shut up, monster and monstr) mob mentality.
AM/PM has been nothing but kind, calm, and rational in his concise critiques of both SDMB policies and the actions of the administrators, mods, and members. I am stunned that you are all allowing yourselves to succumb to this type of scapegoating and rampant slander.
