I have to apologize to **Lynn**. That remark wasn’t called for and I am sorry. That’s what I get for posting while drinking (again).

Who the fuck do you think it is? It refers to the previous sentence. It’s not that difficult. I was answering a question by someone who has just complained about it. And very, very clearly no one has a problem with Lynn killing spam.

[QUOTE=Jack Batty]

I’m still waiting for them to lift the ban on Satan. I miss him.  
[/QUOTE]

I don’t.

I’ve never understood why people thought he was such a great poster to have around. Fundamentally, he was a bully, who more than once said that only the smart kids should be allowed to post in his forum, Great Debates, and tried to bully people he didn’t like to make them stop posting there.

> Yes. In fact his postings would barely get him Warned today, more likely just a “Mod note”. But I had heard his PM’s to the Staff were hwaaay out of line, thus despite what we see publically, he not likely not be allowed back.

You mean like when he posted a warning to Moderator **Coldfire** , telling **Coldfire** to leave him alone because he, **Satan** , owned Great Debates, and he, **Satan** , was going to ignore any moderation from **Coldfire** , because **Coldfire** simply didn’t seem to understand the reality?

Yep, just a mod note for that one nowadays. :rolleyes:

There was apparently a glitch that prevented their statuses from being shown, which has now been corrected.
