**Two and a Half Inches of Fun** , protest all you want about your innocent intentions, but your threads as a whole don’t paint a picture of someone who is interested in interacting honestly with people here. They paint a picture of someone who wants to get attention, wants to get people riled up, and wants to push the line as far as he can while maintaining plausible deniability. This thread is a perfect example. When called on your BS, you protest and claim to only be expressing your honest feelings. When your threads don’t get a negative reaction, you drop them and go on to start more. You’re either a troll or a complete moron with the attention span of a retarded Pomeranian. Either way, you’re not bringing a lot to the table here. ---

[QUOTE=Giraffe] Either way, you’re not bringing a lot to the table here. [/QUOTE] And, in an example of fortuitous timing, the mod and admin consensus just came in. It’s time for **2.5 Inches of Useless** to go bye-bye. Edit: I’m leaving this thread open in case people want to discuss the decision to ban and/or call me a dildo. ---

I, for one, am going to miss **2.5er**. For some reason, every time I see the replies to his threads, I always think of Major League (it was ML, right?) where the new player tells the manager, “You’ve got this team so uptight you couldn’t stick a greased BB up their assholes!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-do-not-understand-why-this-thread-was-closed/459930.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-do-not-understand-why-this-thread-was-closed/459930.md?page=3)
