There would be half as many posters, cause I’d boot every one of the whiny disrespectful jerks the moment they acted up. So what if they happen to be interesting and intelligent? If someone pisses on my carpet, they leave now and they don’t get invited back and I don’t care how sparkling a conversationalist they are. Why the mods put up with this crap is beyond me.

That’s a contradictory statement. Funny that your first line gave you the boot. Or would the SDMB become an oligarchy?

I’d definitely frown on the carpet-pissing. Crapping in the corner is also undesirable. And farting in my general direction is right out.

Who’s that beating? Everyone wants to kick you out.
