Didn’t go far enough, IMO. Break out that ban hammer, dammit! ---

We used to enjoy visits from the lunatic fringe. What happened to us, man? ---

The OP is a masterfully crafted satire of **Karol’s** OPs, I can feel it. ---

> [@Frank](#): > > We used to enjoy visits from the lunatic fringe. What happened to us, man? That’s not a lunatic. That someone witnessing. I can see it either closed, wrong forum, or moved to GD, witnessing. I like the choice that was made. ---

> [@Frank](#): > > We used to enjoy visits from the lunatic fringe. What happened to us, man? I, more than anyone, enjoy the LF. Really I do. But the OP of that thread wasn’t willing to address the OVERWHELMING facts against their viewpoint. It was straight up witnessing. Also, I’m not a big fan of Twix’s early closings and have been vocal about it in the past so it’s only fair that I give her props when she gets it right (in my highly biased opinion). ---
