> [@Excalibre](#): > > Amen. The fact that he’s our most vocal perv doesn’t mean he should get a pass on being obnoxious. I’d suggest we elect a new pet perv, but none of us pervs seem to want to be known as “that [insert kink here] afficionado”. Oooo, me! me! me! What? In that case, I nominate **Hal**. ---

That’s just downright reprehensible. I won’t even dignify it by calling it “kinky.” I mean, I’m an open minded girl and all, but _sex with clowns?_ GROSS! ---

I just discovered that if you mix cream soda and orange soda, it’s like drinking a melted creamsicle. Uh, yeah, and somebody around here’s being a jerk, but I lost track of who. ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > You missed the point. I’m saying that this appears to be, based on available evidence, a banning because X number of people complained about “offensive” behavior. And I’m saying that’s a dangerous precedent. You aren’t necessarily a prude trying to stop the expression of sexual thought, but what about the other complainants? > > As for the idea that his banning was due to hijacking, irrespective of the content of his posts - I don’t find that credible, because people regularly “hijack” threads, and it’s not even usually a bad thing. Your mileage may vary. Bullshit. Yes, it IS a bad thing, if it’s done repeatedly, and always the same hijack. The sexual aspect of his posts WAS also a factor, but not because of prudery. It was because you got the feeling he was enjoying making people uncomfortable and typing one handed while doing so. It’s like that creepy dude on the bus who sits there leering at you. ---

This was pretty technicolor as Pittings go, with plenty of random bile, hitting, spitting and giving each other dirty looks. But since it’s gotten to the point of creamsickles, clown porn and bunnies wearing pancakes on their heads, the sucker’s just lurching along. Time to put it out of its misery. Closed.
