Smileydeath, I am unable to get an email through to you because your box is full, so I am using this forum. Please be aware that this banning over which you cheer is not entirely one sided. We have had complaints about your behaviour, as well, and a quick review certainly indicates that there is justification for those complaints. Our first rule is “Don’t be a jerk.” Our Message Boards are not a chat room. Don’t piss in our pool. Take this as a stern but friendly warning. We are happy to have mature and intelligent posters, and we think you have some little potential for joining that group – hence, a warning. We do not tolerate jerks, and you seem to have very high potential for joining THAT group. Your choice, from here on. CK Dexter Haven Straight Dope Message Board Admininstrator ---

**SmileyDeath** , he meant that the Admins aren’t afraid to ban people and if you’re not careful, they’ll ban you in a split second. Don’t think that now that trader\_of\_shots is banned, you’re home free. Because now you have it harder off than before. The Mods have less people like you to look after. ---

You started posting in the 9pm (Eastern Time) hour of Dec 25 with 6 posts. 2 posts in the 10pm hour. Then the 26th: 3a - 1 5a - 6 6a - 2 3p - 5 4p - 5 5p - 4 6p - 4 7p - 4 8p - 5 And the 27th: 2a - 5 3a - 12 4a - 8 5a - 6 2p - 8 3p - 7 4p - 2 5p - 1 6p - 3 7p - 4 8p - 8 9p - 10 And the 28th: 2a - 10 3a - 1 4a - 11 3p - 6 8p - 4 The facts do not back up your statement, they show that the statement is false. You made a false statement. A false statement is a lie. One who lies is a Liar. You are a Liar. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lobsang \* > \*\*It’s an entirely different situation. You were condescending first. And I am not merely decrying condescension to others. I am decrying it to newbies and people who don’t deserve it. \*\* Do you ever stop and think about what you’re saying, **Lobsang**? This is a pattern with you- whenever anyone takes issue with you about something you’ve done or said on the board, you start with crap like this. **"He/She started it!"** **"Everybody here is mean to me!"** **"You’re not the boss of me!"** It’s ridiculous. Then you claim that other posters are trying to “make you the same as everyone else.” By this I take it to mean that other posters are encouraging you to be thoughtful, well-spoken, and considerate. But obviously this is just not anything you want to be. Here’s some advice: when someone tells you you’re being annoying, try and think about why they might be saying that. I can pretty much guarantee you it is not the unfounded personal attack you take it for. But you consistently respond as though it were, and more or less stick your tongue out at the other posters on this board by making comments like “it makes me ever-so-slightly more inclined to step out of line.” What the fuck? No wonder you’re so busily defending **Smiley Death** and **fauxpas**. You three have a lot in common: immature, incoherent, and generally devoid of anything useful or original to say. Look you now, I’m glad you’ve decided to fight the good fight and stand up for your right to be an asshole. More strength to your arm. But don’t expect anyone else to put up with your childishness. It may be hysterically funny to you when posters like **fauxpas** keeping shitting all over the board with pointless, rambling, and unintelligible posts. To the rest of us, it’s annoying as hell. Stop encouraging idiocy, please. And **rainchikki** tried to point out to you that you were being hypocritical, so what do you do? Come back at her with another excuse: “It’s okay because someone else did it first”. Where the hell does this sort of rationale come from? Can’t you ever admit you were just wrong, and try to amend your ways, without some snide and insincere comment? Jesus Christ, man, grow up! ---

Okay, **SmileyDeath** , you’ve posted 9 times on this page alone. That’s half the posts on this page, and I’m not going to bother to count your posts on the other two. Not one of your posts has had any real contribution to this discussion. Like others have said before, you would be better off lurking for a while. You have no idea how this board works, you don’t know how the people here act. You can’t just bust into a random group of people and expect to make friends by babbling out incoherent thoughts. ---
