Ok, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Let’s drop it. ---

Say what you will about the pickup, but she sure can turn on a dime! ---

**Tars** , you’re the best! Skipped over that the first time. Thanks, **World Eater**. **Ilsa** , can’t say you were missed, especially now that you’re back and chirping for attention in **badchad** ’s thread. Why don’t you just settle down to a nice, peaceful existence here? And while you’re at it, why don’t you keep your silly coding to yourself? This isn’t the _Super-Terrific Junior Playtime Coding Practice Hour_. It slows down the Board and frankly, makes you look like an ass-nugget that’s barely clinging to the hairs, stinking with all its might, and just begging to be noticed. ---

You call 45 responses ignored? You call “CECIL ADAMS DOES NOT IDENTIFY ANY PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL BUT WAS DEVISED AS A FANCIFUL NAME” inconclusive??? Let me try to explain for you. “Cecil Adams” is a fanciful name. A number of people have been “Cecil” in the last 30 years. If someone posts as “Cecil” it is likely one of the Administrators. What else is there to know? ---

If you want your thread locked you need to email a mod, not just repeatedly ask over and over in the thread. They have other things to do than peer over your shoulder, you know. ---

FWIW, I think **Ilsa** was pitting the entire SDMB staff for not giving a straight answer as to the true identity of Cecil. As for Lynn’s reasoning: there is no way to give a straight answer unless someone pulls a Carly Simon (i.e.: tells him but with a stiff penalty if the identity is ever revealed to anyone else). Ergo, the original thread had to be a joke. Am I close? ---

**Moderator’s Notes:** > [@](#): > > What is this? A fucking trifecta? Lock this please. Ya know, Ilsa, your request(s) to lock this would be taken more seriously if ya’d **quit posting** to the goddamned thing. I’m gonna tell you the same thing I tell everyone else who creates a situation simliar to the one you’ve created for yourself here. No. I’m not gonna close the thread. Let’s call it a test. We’ll see if you meant what you said up there, “Ok, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Let’s drop it.” You can show your sincerity by not posting to this thread again. It’ll also go a long way toward convincing the staff that we were not remiss in lifting your suspension - which I gotta tell ya, I’m not too sure about right now. The test begins . . . now. ---

**UncleBeer** : Is it still acceptable for others to post here? I’d just like to say that at the time I flamed him, I was unaware **Ilsa** had previously requested the thread be locked. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by glee_ > Who is this Cecil of which you speak? > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CaptBushido \* > Joking or no I think THAT’S a bannable offense. 😃 Crikey :eek: - you’re right! Of course I should have said: **Whom** is this Cecil of which you speak? 😕 As for this Ilsa chappie, would it be a bannable offence to provoke him into posting here again? :smack: Oh, it would? Tempting… (time passes) OK, I can resist the temptation. 🆒 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by glee \* > Of course I should have said: > > **Whom** is this Cecil of which you speak? 😕 Huh? Why? Even if you were being prescriptive, you would use the nominative **who** as the complement of a linking verb. “He is the man of which I speak,” not “Him is the man of which I speak.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuckin-moron/217908.md?page=2)
