…via PM. It looks like the spammer was banned. I just wonder if he/she spammed everyone’s inbox or looked for people who might be suitably disposed. I assume not that latter, since I’m brown. ---

I got one too, I suspect there was a thread in the pit where a disparaging reference to our resident “scientific” racists was made, I suspect someone told a hack over there to annoy us. ---

I didn’t but did get a PM from a new member with one post stating that most girls are straight and not bisexual like [me]. I have no idea what this is in reference to. ---

No invite. I guess I should get my sheet and pointy hat dry-cleaned just in case, though. ---

I didn’t, I feel left out. Powerless. Damn, yet another organization that rejects me because of my political views. 😉 OK, now, as Moderator: I’m not sure what the time frame is, here, but the poster has been banned at this point. I _think_ that means that he/she can’t send any further PMs. There must have been some sort of bot-ish sending of PMs? I dunno, I don’t unnerstand these things. ---

It couldn’t have been more than an hour or two between the PM and banning. You guys must be feeling sprightly this week. ---

**Really Not All That Bright** , so did you join that white power board? You really should have! You could have infiltrated deep into their midst. Then you could start an on-going thread in our BBQ Pit here, in which you re-post choice tidbits that you find there, for the greater entertainment for the rest of us here in lambasting and name-calling them all! What great shits-and-giggles we could all have with that! Recreational Outrage galore! You shoulda done it. Can you still? ---

Seriously… I mean, last I checked my watch it was 2014. The only way to deal with this is open derision. (And nobody should suggest nuking them from orbit, because that would be bad.) ---
